This is a great book that should be on your shelf and pulled out and read yearly. Utilizing rhyme, kids can learn more about how Santa checks his list and how he knows who's on it. The illustrations are great and will bring a smile to everyone's face.

Match Made in Montana: The Complete Series by Rachelle Paige Campbell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of my favorite series that I've read this year! If you enjoy a slow burn but clean romance with a enemies to friends to relationship kinda trope, be sure to check out this series. Each book could be read as a standalone but it's more fun to read them as a boxed set! Hank is my absolute favorite character in this series and I think you'll love him too!

A Chance At All by Angela K. Parker

 

A Chance at AllA Chance at All by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I seem to be drawn to books about second chances! This was an enjoyable read about Nalah and Nicoli. I love the fact that the characters are a bit older than is usually seen in books of this type. They have life experiences that the younger set hasn't generally had yet and I love how the author made them so personable. If you're looking for a "feel good" book, this one might just cure that ache!

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

 

The Silent PatientThe Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was an interesting read. There were times when I felt like I couldn't put it down. Other times I couldn't wait to finish a chapter and put it down for a rest. The storyline is difficult to follow at times but I thoroughly enjoyed the major plot twist at the end. I thought I had it all figured out but nothing is as it seems with these characters. The author does divulge into multiple subplots which can make it challenging to keep up with the train of thought going on. Overall, a good book.

A Catch In Time: A Macabre Novella & Short Stories by Christopher Alan Broadstone

 

A Catch In TimeA Catch In Time by Christopher Alan Broadstone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The writing in this book is among some of the most unique I have ever encountered. It sucks you in pretty fast and takes you for a ride through various short stories set in the time of WWII. There are twists and turns and gruesome tales of the horrors of war. With the writing style being so unique, this book might not be for everyone but I encourage you to give it a chance!

The Shackle: escape from the knot of restraint (The Knot Series Book 2) by DonnaLee Overly

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in a series but these books can be read as standalones. I enjoyed the storyline of this novel, although it deals with the challenging topic of human trafficking. The tale of Stan and Marie is a very believable one and this book is hard to put down once started.
