Review: Here's to Your Dreams - Dave Hollis - February 2022

I have to admit, I hadn't done much research on the Hollis family but figured that it was loosely based on Rachel Hollis's now ex-husband Dave, and their daughter Noah. This is a cute picture book aimed at children aged 4-10 years old and it sets the premise of father/daughter dates in the format of fun tea time parties which is such a great bonding experience for fathers and daughters to have.  It wasn't until I went on Goodreads and saw all the 1-star reviews, that I realized there is the controversy behind this picture book and so I want to state my review is written on the book itself and not the father/daughter duo. What I read was a fun picture book that has a daddy/daughter bonding time and the duo goes on several adventures together from warring pirates to sailing the seven seas - all in a day's work. It also teaches children that having dreams is important and to never give up as where would we be without our hopes and dreams? This family is known for their self-help guruness and so there is on the pages, a deeper meaning for older children to explore in their growth journey when they are 7+ years old. For the younger crowd, it is a fun father/daughter bedtime read and who knows if you aren't having tea parties or starting a father/daughter date routine yet, Here's to your Dreams may inspire you. Growing up, this was something that I had with my dad and we would go to the movies together or out to a cafe for lunch/dinner. It's a special treasured moment that I hold close to my heart forever.  To conclude, if you are wanting to read this and view it as just a picture book - then it's a great read. If you feel that you can't support someone due to their personal lives and issues, then bypass this book and move on,  remember not every single book is for every single person.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
