Books read aug 15




Tarizon: The Liberator by William Manchee
This book follows the life of Pete, Stan's son who now lives in another solar system. People are brought to the area to repopulate the planet.
Some are brought to Earth and then after some time they are transferred back to the planet.
Boot camp and quite the introduction to population control are thrust at him from when he first gets there. He also meets the boy who had died in the crash and they talk for just a second.
Like the idea of joining the military and going through training...There's a lot of abbreviations that you soon become familiar with.
Like how the events take place and the story moves forward as they discover other things about their telepathic abilities as they also try to find their other friends and hope to rescue them.
The goal is to prepare for the civil war  which is coming to the planet as some are slaves and they don't like it. There are a lot of politics also that come into play.
Like how ti ends, a bit sad but it will continue in another book so all is not lost.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.



Act Normal by William Manchee
This story starts out with Stan and he's approached again from the CIA agents about a case that involves a woman from the other planet in the other solar system.
He knows about his son and that he's not dead and has seen pictures of him as he first arrives on the planet.
Alternating chapters follow Paula and her case as they acquire a new office secretary. Little do they all but Stan know where she really came from and she's only here to get pregnant and then head back...
Like that the chapter headings also include the lawyers name so we know if it's Paula or Stans case.
Rebekka is still grieving for her son as her parents help with the 3 children remaining... Stan wishes he could show her.. but they'd come for her then..
Things happen that are erased from ones memory and it's nice to know he's able to share one secret...
Like personal things like Paula's boyfriend who was to be the DA on the case but since Stan took over there's a conflict of interest now and Mark is fired...
Rebekka is still grieving for her son as her parents help with the 3 children remaining... Stan wishes he could show her.. but they'd come for her then..
Like hearing of how hidden the base is located and the things the agent is able to share...
Love hearing of the travel and how the case is solved-so unique with questions... Can't wait to read more of this series.  Each book can be read as a stand alone.
Just cuz the case is over with doesn't mean the story ends, so much more happens after...
Other works by the author are highlighted at the end.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.




Tarizon: Civil War by William Manchee
This one picks up where the last left off but if you've not read them it will bring you up to date.
Lots of politics, strategic maneuvers and how to fight using what they can get their hands on.
Heartache from lies and remote areas we learn about. Lots of equipment to fight the war is described in detail along with the strategy.
Other works by the author are highlighted at the end. Lots of action and adventure for the travelers and explosive encounters.
Very interesting as this one involves DC and surrounding areas.
Finishes off with listing of works from the author.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.




Conquest Earth by William Manchee
This story follows Lorrin and the child she shares with her mate. Lots of politics and how to survive where they are located.
Lots of new characters to get a handle on for me.  Lots of cool things happen in this one. Like how when they arrive  on the Earth they don't even know how to eat an apple but they find out so much more.
Love how they are able to run a ranch at no cost...
So many things occur that you'd not even imagine-like how the story is told.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.






New Beginnings: a Christian Romance/Second Changes series, book 3 by Morris Ferris
Book starts out with Grace and her daughter meeting the neighbors next door: Tori and Daniela because the puppies got out of the yard. Tori is in bed and just recovering from breast cancer and is still so sick.
They take care of both of them and Grace's intended Michael works in the cancer filed and stops in to visit and gives her advice.
Over time we learn that Graces friend in Montana will be getting married and they plan to go.
Little does Grace know the other mystery surrounding her past life..
Turns out to be a great story and there are others who become a couple and things just mesh. Didn't see it all coming out as it did but hope to read more from this author.




The Pajama Zoo Parade: The Funniest Bedtime ABC Book (Short and Funny Bedtime Stories for Children Ages 3-5, that Every Parent will Enjoy) (The Funniest ABC Books 2) by Agnes Green
I just can't imagine a parade where everybody is wearing their pajamas LOL
This book for me was read to read because I was not able to increase the font size of the words. 
Alphabetically the animals get ready for bed by putting their pj's on. So comical the pages. This is also a rhyming book.
Cute ending also




Sushi: A Children's Book by Mary Nhin 
I know nothing about this food so thought id' be fun to learn about it.
This is a rhyming book and has many colorful illustrations about what's going on in the pictures.
Sometimes it's hard to find the words to read because the page is just SO busy with graphics.
Never knew there were so many different kinds of sushi.
Like pages that show you how they are made for a meal.
