Books read Nov 27







The Book Reviewer Yellow Pages
What I love this year is how the categories are broken up.
Starts with all the aspects an author will need and how to approach bloggers to read and review their books and what to pay attention to.
As a book blogger I don't want a very long detailed email about your book-let me judge if I want to read and review the book-don't send it along with the intro email.
Has FAQ section and how to read the key codes on the blogger notes.
Everything is pretty straight forward and I like the different formats available in darker style. Also a section for how the author should handle the negative reviews and keep track of who's reviewed the book or is it time to send them a reminder.
Don't care for the section where others can solicit to get paid but it's out there for anybody to use and sections for blog tours and what they are all about.
Like how everything is indexed at the end.  Hope to get a copy next year.
Received this review copy and this is my honest opinion.


The Little White Christmas Lie by Kristy Tate
Cute holiday story of a woman who's a writer and she's on her way to an inn.
Millie's never met the woman who called but has a feeling she needs to be there.
On the train she meets a man who's heading in that general direction. In her travels she runs off the road and the man on the train, Carson-his grandmother owns the inn.
He rescues her and gets her to the doctor then back to the inn where she stays longer than expected through all the activities planned for friends and family. Before you know it others have them engaged...
The inn is in trouble and the pageant doesn't go off as planned and one little girl blames herself. In midst of the fighting she leaves and the others send out people with flashlights to find her.
Millie thinks she's overstayed and leaves with her ex when she realizes who it is that she wants to be with. She's bought the inn and Carson doesn't think she needs to do that-it's a money pit.
Lots of misunderstandings and you wonder if they will ever see eye to eye.
Love hearing of the events that occurred to celebrate the holiday at the inn but wish there had been more. Loved the scenery and surroundings.
Excerpt from Making music is included at the end. 




Bedtime Bubble Rhyme by Patrick Leifer 
Colorful children's rhyming story of bubbles in the tub and getting clean.
Love the part the parents help and there are lots of hands cleaning....
Love the getting ready for bed parts, so cute and fuzzy warm feelings.
