Jan 9 Book Review: The Cowboy Fix by Susan Lute

   

The Cowboy Fix by Susan Lute 

In this story we find Izzy has ome to the ranch because her friend Mallery suggested it. She's a fixer of financial troubles. The ranch with the 3 boys helping just aren't making ends meet. Nathan is just getting over his injuries and he's the main person in charge. Love how boys deal with issues-a deck of cards. Love that they suggest she stay at the cottage nearby so she can get a feel of the things going on. Love how Nathan brings her up to the picnic and she loves just the peaceful sounds. 

She even invites her mother and she's a help as well. Love how they take her suggestions and run with them, the first being a wedding cottage for marriages. Blake and Mallery will be the first. Love how she has so many offers of jobs and she can't decide. Nathan is also falling for her and will hate to see her go. Love this series.

Jan 7 Book Review: The Magical Tea Shop by Aimee O'Brian

   

The Magical Tea Shop by Aimee O'Brian 

This story starts out with Ivy who runs the tea shop and her sister Holly runs the bakery. They share the same kitchen in Hazard.

There are a lot of characters in the town that ocme to light in this book. Jackson is an architect and he's going to sell the stores that others run their business. He plans to head to Boston for  a bigger paying job.

The history society plays a part in this story also. Love how it all comes together. Love the magic and the bets Ivy makes.  Lots of twists and turns and even a dire emergency while others are flying kites at the mansion....

So much to this story, light read but funny at times and tragic .

Book Review: Climate Change Reality Check: Global Warming and Changes in Earth's Weather

  

 

Climate Change Reality Check: Global Warming and Changes in Earth's Weather Patterns, Facts about Billion-Dollar Disasters and Solutions Using Artificial Intelligence.

by Freedom Press????

What a fascinating educational book to help you understand about climate change. It just changes everything in our lives.  It lists all the culprits and explain about the different atmospheres we have on earth and there are solutions. We use  about 99% of them already. Unless everyone does it won't make a difference.

Enjoyed all the references noted in things that where stated.References are also listed in full at the back of the book with links for further information and study cases.

Learned so much just even about the atmospheres and the staticts on them.

Liked that there are real life stories from others towards the back of the book brining the personal touch to the book. Appreciate that as there is so much technical information included.

Love that each chapter has a summary, in case you missed a point that was discussed.

Like hearing about what all the culprits are and how they have evolved over time and how much worse it will be in 2070.  Scary at times but eye opening.

Definitely a reference book to keep handy as there are lists of things we can do now as humans to combat the changes. Simple things like brining your own reuseable bag to the store, using refillable bottles, ditch the plastics. 

With list of solutions there are pros and cons listed in columns so you can see the choices and make your own decisions.

In this sory there is a murder and witnesses. Some are trying to get away with something and give false statements, making others in the limelight for the murder. There is also a wedding about to take place, the plans are ever changing and things get disorganizes.

Book Review: Blessings on State Street by Rachael Bloome

 



  

Blessings on State Street  by Rachael Bloome  

Story follows Abby who's run away from celebrating the Christmas holidays.

She ended up at her and her dead spouse house where he grew up. He had an air force friend living there, Logan.

Story follows Logan also who will go along with not celebrating the holidays but they also run into a neighborhood boy Max who is being fostered but the family left him behind.

The federal agency showed up to find the family and prosecute them. They had shared a nice night watching a holiday movie and having him spend the night at their house.

She makes a move to keep him....Great story, lots of twists and turns. Love the craft schedule where they teach you how to do them while enjoying a nice beverage. Directions for the keep sake ornament are included at the end along with Q&A with bed and breakfast owner.

Can't wait to read others in this series.
