Review: Blooming Rose Blasts Off !! - Lauren Piland - January 2023 This cute picture book was something that reminded me of my schooling, though in one part it didn't as I was the type of child who would go home and start my assignments straight away. I wasn't a leave it till the last-minute type of person. The one thing I do admit though is I hated with a passion was group projects, I was the one who preferred to work on my own than in a group.

Find out in this fun p...

  Review: Project Killer - Book #1 Project Series - J.L Beck - June 2015 I was in the mood the other day at work for a darker type book and something with a suspense level as needed that blood pumping. Another book that I had sitting on my Kindle was Project Killer - that cover attracted me and drew me in. I wasn't sure what it would be about, but it just had that premise of being suspenseful.
