Book Review; It ain’t winning if without you by Michelle Ayon Navajas

This is the 7th book published by Michelle, or Mich as she is affectionately known here on WP. I bought the book the day it came out but it took me time to read these beautiful poems, as I wanted to savor them and enjoy them.

In more than 200 poems, Mich has written about all aspects of love. The romantic love, love for her parents, especially her dad, and love for her city and country. She also wrote an ode to her muse.

I loved how she personalizes the feelings of love as if she is personally experiencing it herself. The depth and sincerity of emotions expressed are so moving that the reader feels each and every one of them.

I would recommend this book to all lovers of poetry, all over the world. Both paperback and Kindle versions are available.

Thank you Mich for this beautiful gift of poetry.

Following the Green Rabbit-A review ( Re-post)

I am re-posting this review I wrote a while back. Chris Hall is a wonderful writer and a lovely friend. I am posting this in response to Weekly Prompts- Review-2, hosted by Sue W and GC

So I had the pleasure of reading another fantastic book by Chris Hall.

What comes to mind when we read about following a rabbit! But believe me this book has a far more realistic and adventurous theme to it. I enjoyed it tremendously. It is written for adventurers, young and old.

The story revolves around two sisters who find a gateway to past, which takes them to a turbulent time in history.

Their adventures involve them in situations which are risky and dangerous at times. The story grips you and you are engrossed in the world of two centuries ago. The perils and suspense-full twists and turns of the story lead to a satisfying ending.

I would recommend this book highly. Please check it out. It is available on Kindle and Kindle unlimited.

Book Review; Spirit of the shell man

No spoilers!

This is the latest book from Chris Hall, who also blogs on WP; Luna’s on line a sequel to her book, Song of the sea goddess.

I bought the book the day it was released on Kindle but it was April and I was doing the A to Z challenge, it also was the month of Ramadan and I had little free time to start a new book.

When May started, I started reading this very interesting story. it starts a year later when the Song of the sea goddess ends. The characters are the same here but the story is not linked to the previous adventure.

Chris has a wonderful way of narrating her story and the reader feels as if they are in the story, experiencing the events themself. Once I was a third of the way in the story, I needed to know what happened next and wasn’t able to put it down! So despite the fact that we moved from one house to another, I managed to finish this remarkable story!

If you haven’t bought this book, do so now. You’ll enjoy it very much.

My rating 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book review- Holly Ward investigates- Stolen Treasures

Mason Bushell has released his second Holly Ward mystery.

Anyone who has read any of the numerous stories that Mason writes on his blog, Mason Mind Menagerie, knows how creating a mystery story is one of Mason’s strongest suit.

This one is the second in the series, where an 18-year-old Holly investigates a mystery that the police haven’t been able to solve.

As I don’t want to give away the plot, all I want to say is that this is a very well-written and well-thought-out mystery where Mason not only writes of the adventure of Holly and her boyfriend Sam but gives us a background of her day too day life. Mason, himself a trained chef, writes in detail about the restaurant and it’s working where this mystery is set.

Mason has an amazing talent for writing action sequences that are vividly alive and detailed. When you will read this book you’ll feel the intensity of the pain and joy of the characters yourself.

I throughly enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to reading Mason’s next book.

I give it a a rating of 4/5 stars.

Maddie Ware- A book by Teresa Grabs- A review

Our very own Teresa Grabs of The Haunted Wordsmith fame, has published her latest book ” Maddie Ware”

It’s tag line is;

“When you are eleven, nothing is small”

My blogging has taken up too much of my time so the reading of this was delayed. But once I picked it up, I finished it in a couple of days with blogging and all.

So what is this book about. When Teresa was on WP, she shared some of the chapters on her blog and I was an avid follower. The book tells us the story of one year in the life of a pre-teen, Maddie Ware. Her successes and struggles. Her thoughts and actions so authentically expressed as to take the reader into her mind.

It’s sold as a book for kids aged 8-12 but I loved reading it and enjoyed myself a lot.

So guys, you should pick up her book on Kindle and enjoy the very interesting tale.

You’ll never walk alone- A review

I have just finished reading this very fascinating book by Chris Hall.

This is a spoiler free review.

The book is set in 1980’s Liverpool, England. The story is fast moving and completely attention grabbing. I finished reading the book in a couple of days. And I feel compelled to share my views with you all.

I loved the pace of the story. The characters are well developed and the plot is very interesting. Lots of things are happening and the threads of the story are woven expertly to make a believable tale. There is a monkey and a cat who are more than just pets. The charming monkey is playing a vital role in the story.

The Chinese triad is in an undeclared war with a mysterious hypnotic man and his minions. There are mysterious objects with magical powers which both parties are desirous of acquiring.

Then there is the tale of a long lost family member.

It’s definitely a must read. So grab your copy today!

The silver locket -Book review

Just finished reading The Silver Locket by Holly Atkins.

This is the pen name under which, Chris Hall of Luna’s Online writes.

This is a spoiler free review, and since I don’t know much about writing a book review, this is about how I found the story.

This is the second book by Chris that I have read, the first one was ” A Sextet of Shorts”

Like that book, I found this one to be a great read. The story was gripping, taking the reader into the plot and keeping us there till we reach the conclusion.

The characters are lovable and believable. The story goes through different phases and reaches an interesting conclusion.

You must read it I am sure that you will love it

Revenge of the presents

The present galore is over for now but

It leaves behind a well planned revenge

A debris of paraphernalia of attachments

All of them are cluttering up my space

The ribbons, the bows and the wrappings

Scattered in my living room taunting me

Get up from your lazy bump and get to it

Everything has to be put away, sorted out

Tomorrow is the new year and its high time

To clean, to restore and put the presents away

But these presents have an expensive tag to them

The giver and the receiver are both under obligation

To repay or to pay for them, even when they are

Excessive and unwanted, a sign of money spent

Though there are loving thoughts behind these

But the expression of love takes often the form of

Extravagance that demonstrates bankruptcy of

Innovation and a need to measure our love

In form of how much we spend, instead of how much we give.

Written for:

FOWC;

Revenge
