 Spanish Grammar Made Easy: The Ultimate Guide for Intermediate Learners to Master Verbs, Understand Tenses, Improve Sentence Structure, and Communicate Effectively by Lingua Easy Publishing 

Enjoyed this book and can understand quite a bit of it. Had taken French for over 8 years, got to high school and switched to Spanish and did so much better. The language is a language in itself. It's not like having past, present and future but moods and so many other insistences that occur.

Like examples they give you in Spanish with a translation in English. Irregular verbs are also discussed in each chapter. Practice exercises and solutions are also included.

Great book to help you understand the language a lot easier to learn it.

 About the book:

Reba is brave, strong, and fiercely independent—she can do almost everything on her own. But when it comes to learning how to ride a bike, she discovers that accepting help doesn’t make her any less capable. It just means she has someone cheering her on.

Inspired by the natural symbiotic relationship between rhinos and oxpeckers, this heartwarming story celebrates both self-reliance and the quiet magic of friendship.

Every illustration was lovingly created by hand over the course of several months, bringing Reba’s vibrant world to life with warmth, whimsy, and thoughtful detail.

MY REVIEW:

Meet Reba by Stephanie Wheeler (Author), Annika Chambers (Illustrator) 

Colorful, educational, children's' fun book to read and learn

The story starts out with Reba she is a rhinoceros. She is so empowered to try to.. Do things. Even if they are difficult she still attempts to try it and keep trying till she gets it right. In the case of her riding a bike,  picture this: a rhino riding a bike. Good thing she has all her friend Olive to help in this task. This part is for kids. The next part talks about the rhino and oxpecker and how they are companions to one another.

There are also fun facts about these 2 animals as they help each other survive in the wild. The author's website also has more fun things to learn about these 2. Check it out. What a really great story to not only read to your kids but it's also education.  The pictures tell you what the words are saying. I can't wait to see what the author has selected for the next animals in this series.

 The Vagus Nerve Fix: Easily Master Stress, Calm Anxiety, and Boost Mental & Physical Health with Proven Holistic Exercises and Nutrition in as Little as 10 MINUTES PER DAY by Lorraine Miano

This book contains a lot of introductory material about what the nerve is, where it is, how it affects you whole body.

Parts I like the best at diet and nutrition and also yoga exercises. So helpful to cure some things that go wrong with your body, rather than using pills all the time.

So much more is included.

Great book to keep handy. Referencesw are included at the end.

the cowboy's claim by Sinclair Jayne

 This story Calhoun and he picked his task to finish for Jace who didn't make it back. He's to head to Marietta where many of his brothers in arms have also relocated to, to finish their tasks.

Story also follows Dr. Jory and she works at the local hospital in Marietta. She's selling the family ranch and the family hope to move to CA but she has a meeting with her boss, first.

Cal is following up with Kai, the dog that was the teams warrior. 

The rest of the team want Cal on board for the big plan they have going right there in Marietta. He's not so sure he even wants to stay. Maybe just give them some land and money and head himself otu of town.

There is an incident where there is a malfunction with the condom and it was only to be one night stand....

So many things up in the air for them all and deicidng which to choose it on them.

Great end of the teams stories, super series.

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

 My First Grade Reader: Captivating Short Stories for 1st Graders to Boost Reading Skills with Read-Along Audio & Easy Comprehension Questions by Mateo Sommer, Little Big Page  

Book I got I thought would've been like Dick and Jane from my first grade years. This to me was an older child's book. Enjoyed the stories and with the audio you can follow along if you can set it slow enough.  There are questions also to make sure you are understanding what you are reading.

Great starter book for family reading.

The Montana Cowboy's Christmas Homecoming Book 3 of Cowboys of Honor by Sinclair Jayne

Rohan returned to Marietta to deliver a letter to Ginny's father. He had no idea the man had passed away in his absence serving as a Special Forces guy. He gives it to her but she's in the middle of going through his garage to clear it of debris. She's surprised to see him and he assumes the child she has, 10 years old now Lucas is his. It's not but he takes a liking to the kid and realizes he's a bit slow at some things. The rest of his family shows up to help her get rid of the trash in the garage and house so it's livable. They all decide to go hunt for Christmas tree and I love hearing about the adventures for the kids and adults.

Love how his family welcomes her into the fold. Love hearing about the scenery and festivities in town and how they all are onboard. The relationships amaze me and are so magical.

Will she discover what the letter is all about, in time....?
