Scrambled eggs super! by Dr. Seuss
Peter knows his the best cook he tells Liz.  Rhyming children's book about how he discovers a new way to make scrambled eggs.
He has tried all kinds of new things. Hen's eggs are what are used-he has other ideas.
Love all the new silly words, wicked funny.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

The language of sycamores by Lisa Wingate
Inspriational quotes at the start of the chapters. Karen had heard what her grandmother Rose had said she just never paid attention.
Karen Summerfield has avoided her problems and is driven by work, power and success are the things she needs.
She might have cancer, again. She had lost a child and will never birth a child again. She had to get back to work because the company is announcing the layoffs. She finds piano playing her peace til her sister calls.
Her husband, James will be there-layover from being a pilot, and she will fly out and spend time on the family farm.
They are to meet with cousins they never knew they had.
So many secrets and a lot of mysteries come to light as they try to figure it all out. Lots of characters as they are geared to music and meet for camp during the summer months.
Other neighbors that are more like family have entwined their lives with the family at the farm. Medical emergency has led them to change plans. Love hearing of the camp and the production they put on.
Top point for me was when another relative comes to the forefront-priceless!
Love all the mysteries and how they are all linked together.

A Small Christmas by Yee_ Wong Herbert
Children's story that I enjoyed listening to about how the Fireman Small prepares for the Christmas holiday.
Book is rhyming. He finds Santa asleep in his bunk but he has an idea.
Loved hearing what each of his friends got for gifts.

The Frog Prince by Jane Porter
Story starts out being about Holly and we find out about her upbringing and her past.
She's in San Francisco and I love the descriptions of the places I've yet to visit although we did drive through the city once.
She's getting over her loss of love for her spouse and they are heading to divorce. She relocated to the city and is in charge of events and planning them.
She ends up dating a bit but finds a long ago friend Katie and she enjoys the time she spends with her and her buddies. She's had a few dates and they are just disasters.
Holly feels she gets along with others at work but Olivia, her boss is out to get her and she does.
Love how she comes up to the plate and good things happen to her. the princess. Not a typical Jane Porter book it's so indepth character building, real deep down thoughts with her Mom and sister.
Like how she comes out on top. Other works by the author are highlighted and excerpted at the end.
Free on Amazon and this is my honest opinion.

Growth and Change Are Highly Overrated by Tom Starita
Story of Lucas James and his girl Jackie decides she's had enough of the marriage after many years together.
Hits Lucas hard as he doesn't have money for his dream-to write and sing a rock song and have it hit number one.
Real life comes forward.  No income, no car, no food.
Stories go back to his college days with the band and when he was 9 years old with his brother and his friends.
Like advice and tips about how not to do things, that will get you in trouble. So funny at times and know many who've done similiar things back in the day.
Received this review copy from the author via LinkedIn and this is my honest opinion.

Snake Island by Max Elliot Anderson
Started reading this and am enjoying it. There are four boys in the town and are friends with one another. They hang out, go swimming, biking and all around like each other.
Love that they can visit the grandfather's farm and plan to camp out on Snake Island.  Like history behind it all and it's real name: Hobo Island and why and when it occurred.
Love the bond the guys have.  They do get to spend the night on the island but things aren't as they seem and trouble happens, worse than what they feared.
Scary at times, even for me but love how it all works out.
