What Are You Reading, Nora and Beyond?


My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

This book contains four lovely stories of mythical lands and happily ever afters. From witches, sorcerers, curses, magic and romance. From forced marriages, roses forever put into ice, to a beautiful Phoenix. The stories take you away to far off lands and lets your imagination run wild. Although some stories were more powerful, better written and entertaining, I found it to be a wonderful collection and I can't wait to read the others in "Once Upon..." Great stories.

A wonderful book from Bette Lee Crosby where she tells how the ideas came to her for her different books and how these wonderful characters are generated. Some were by thoughts, visiting a certain place, stories that her readers had shared with her, and some from her own life and experiences. It was very interesting to read not only the excerpts from the books, but also to read favorite quotes from the stories by readers. She also includes a guideline of her books and series, so that you get every bit of enjoyment out of them. I loved reading the synopsis of each book. It reminded me how much I enjoyed and loved everyone of her books.




My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...


Was reading the description of the first book and it's kind of similar to the Order of the Dragon Knight series. Which I love. And also, it's set in my state! Only a few hours from me :) I may give them a try.




I was out of town and got reading and listening in but got behind on my reviews. Here they are.

I'm now reading Damaged by Alex Kava, Maggie O'Dell #8, and listening to The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown.

I really want to get this one. I just wish they'd drop the Kindle price.

A story of what greed will make you do. As having your step-sister rape a man only to become impregnated by him so he can pawn the child off as another's to gain a castle and army. Also by beating her mother while she watches so she does it save her mothers life. Then in turn, when the man finds her out, treats her the same for revenge. This is a story you either love or hate, or love to hate. I found the contents disturbing the story itself good. Even though it is fantasy, I found myself disgusted with some of it along with the characters. It is extremely graphic and the story of rape upsets me, that is just me. I did not like how the story ended. I found the book to be very emotionally raw and dark. There is one thing for a person to forgive, but another to be stupid. I love her books, and by all means I will continue to read her work. This one was just not my cup of tea.

I got my copy from the library - overdrive - the audio and the e-book.
Its a good book, but the beginning seems a bit slow, I was glad when it picked up

Love this series. Listened to all of the books and a new one is scheduled for release soon after a 5-year hiatus.

(Blood Destiny Series by Helen Harper)
Loved the series overall. Some tedious parts and sometimes the main character bugged me a little because she was a bit too over the top, but still a good read.

Probably:)"
Yes, probably. I am liking the book so far and I didn't with the last couple I tried of hers so that is a good sign.


I liked vlad in the first book a lot but in this one a lot less. He was more mysterious and intimidating in the first one which I liked.
