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 . 
Received this review copy from Tule Publishing and this is my honest opinion.

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.
Love hearing all the characters and just how precise the details are. I can never guess till after it's stated who dune it. Really enjoy this series and other works by the author. Can't wait for the next one.  Great read.
