Review: Amidst Traffic - Michael Sauret- January 2013

Are you looking for something that you can pick up , read and then put down and so forth ? Are you a fan of Christian fiction and lover of short stories ? If you have answered YES to all three of those questions then Michael Sauret's book Amidst Traffic is the one for you. I'm not normally one for short stories and when I got this as a freebie, I obviously missed the memo and didn't look too closely to the cover as when I opened it and started reading I was surprised. The first short story called Three Straws was a touching one and reminded me of a cross between Noah Building the Ark , Moses getting ready and all his challenges to leading people out of Egypt and alright, I know it's weird but think back to the movie Charlie and The Chocolate Factory where Charlie's dad works in the toothpaste factory and everyday he brings home one or two bits of the toothpaste container's for Charlie to create his Chocolate factory monument. Imagine all the patience, that Charlie has and the faith that it will one day be complete. To me, that was what the first story showed, that if we pace ourselves then in the long run your hard work will pay off. Another favourite was the one where Ted heard God's Voice and ended up stopping a bank robbery by standing up in God's name and taking the bible verse to heart - Do not Fear, for I am with you says the Lord.
This collection of Short Stories were lovely and inspirational and at times a bit on the edgy side but in general if you are a Christian and looking for a Short Story collection for your bookshelf or even your Church Library - then this is the collection for you.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
