I started my year with some light reading. 

My favorite series besides the Lunar Chronicles is the Yotsuba Manga series, because it’s just the cutest thing. 

But, I’m currently reading

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk

Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger

Carrie by Stephen King

Maybe in my February Wrap –Up there will be more adult books. I love reading YA, Children’s, and Manga/Graphic Novels because they’re so much fun an easy to read.

Book reviews on "Chesca and The Spirit of Grace" and "My Busy Week"

Book Review Time

I’ve been reading bunch in the past year. Most have been Children’s books because I was doing research for my own Children’s book “ Birdies Traveling Circus”.

But, along with the hundreds of Children’s books -  I’ve also read a few YA, Adult, Manga series and etc.

And it’s time that I write a review on the lovely books.  

After all, what are books written for if not for reviews – just kidding – I’m sure the authors just wanted their books to be read, but being that two of these books are self-published – I thought – why not share it with a few people out there, who might be reading this.

Both of these books are Self-Published and are worthy of being talked about – regardless of them being self-publised.

 “Chesca and the Spirit of Grace” by Lara O’Brien

 This book is 307 pages long and it’s meant for middle grade children – ages 8-12, but I really enjoyed it and I’m much older than 12. J

The Cover Art is Beautiful. I never really understood why “Book-tubers”, would go on an on about book covers, but let me tell you this cover is the first cover that made me go – WOW, that’s a really nice book cover. Before that, I never really paid attention to covers.

The main character is so love-able, makes me wish I was her. She's a dreamer and even though she thinks that no one understands her, except for her animal friends, she learns that she has a lot more friends than she thought. She learns to fight for family and gains her courage.

 “My Busy Week” by Lovely Sweetiepie

Ok – aside from the Author’s name – which is obviously a pen name, this Picture Book – Yes, Picture Book , just because it’s  a picture book doesn’t mean it’s not worth reviewing.

This book is geared towards young readers that are learning their days of the week. It’s told in Rhyme – I’m a sucker for books that Rhyme. The Illustrations are simply Beautiful – simple but Beautiful. 

Both Books are available on Amazon.com
