Wishing on Baby Dust by Lydia Winters

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I haven't ever read a fictional book that covers the topic of infertility so well. There is some sexual content, but only in a scientific context (referring to male and female reproduction). I didn't find anything offensive, and I think it would be an excellent book for anyone starting along the road to infertility treatments and for those (like me) who have been down that long, hard road. Lydia covered everything, from the agonies of first discovering infertility to the invasive procedures and expensive treatments. She also touched on adoption, sharing both sides of the issue. This is a well-written book. Highly recommended.

Holly Kelly's Avenging: A Must-Read!

Avenging by Holly Kelly

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


There are too many series where the second and third book aren't nearly as interesting as the first. This isn't like that. I loved every book, and this one is my favorite so far. I knew once I picked up this book, I wouldn't be able to put it down, and I was right. What a ride! Holly's vivid imagination pulls together gods from a variety of sources and puts them all together in a unique way. If you haven't ever tried mermaid fiction, this is the series to read. I can't wait for the next book! Well done!

Once Upon Two Kingdoms by Anna del C. Dye

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


When I saw that Anna had written a royal romance, I was anxious to read it. I've enjoyed her elf-inspired books, and I wanted to see what she would do with a different kind of story. I wasn't disappointed. This is a delightful, clean romance that I feel comfortable handing to my daughters. When I first started reading, I thought it was a re-telling of the Sleeping Beauty story where two royal heirs are forced into an arranged marriage, fall in love with each other without knowing who they are, and have a happily-ever after. In the beginning, it had that feel, but it quickly turned into a different story with an evil counselor designing for both thrones. The story was told well, and there was plenty of excitement. Anna must've studied some fencing, because her description of the sword battles was well done. I had a hard time putting the book down because I really had no idea how the story would go. This is a book suitable for all ages.
