Moving Abroad: The Essentials

' Written by: Diana Firican




The book I received had a water mark in the middle of each page and was quite hard to read on a cell phone, cause you have to zoom in on one page at a time to try to read it, zoom out move to next page zoom in, etc. I found that quite annoying, though I am sure it will be different when you get it through a different means.

Other than the above, this book a lot if information. Everything that you may need to do and look into doing and getting to move to a new country. So if you are moving to a new country or even just interested in everything that you have to do before you move I suggest checking this book out.

I will say it is daunting thinking of moving to a new country and seeing all you have to do, but the book lays the information out for you in a good way.


I received a free copy of this book free for giving it an honest review.

Dogs Still Know Best

Dogs Still Know Best: Two Angels Guide Their Human Through Grief, Learning & Love (Two Dogs' Books Book 2)
by Angie Salisbury



This book is the second in the series, I haven't read the first one in the series, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this book itself.

This book is an emotional roller-coaster, it has its sad parts but also had its happy parts, so be prepared for this. This book has stories that have been experienced, and just being re-told here where everyone can read about.

As an owner with 2 dogs myself this book was an interesting read, seeing the stories and how they can be comforting. Really glad to have read this book.

Welcome to Moonshine: The Daydreamer Chronicles: Book 2

Jethro Punter



This is the second book of the series, if you haven't read the first novel have no worries, you wont have an issue following the story in this second book. BUT if you intend to read the first book, don't start on the second cause there is a spoiler to the ending of the first in this second installment.

Spoiler Alert if you haven't read the first book, you will not want to read over my review on some of the happenings in this book.

Gimble has a foot injury from battle that when he start to feel to comfortable he will move his foot which brings the pain into focus for a while again. (The revealing of this will become evident soon).

Adam is still popping in and out of the dreamworld Reverie, he has been having concentration issues because of it and even his friends patience is running thin while trying to help Adam with homework. Charlie still enjoys hearing all about the dreamworld that Adam goes to while he sleeps. His mom is still missing and but Adam remains hopeful since things are still trying to settle down in Reverie.

Adam is also frustrated because Gimble and Lucid told him that they would help him find his mother and until Gimble’s foot is better they can’t go.

So without saying too much more and spoil the book for new readers, my thoughts are that it is well written and doesn't linger too long on scenes. It flows smoothly together from one scene to the next. I think many will enjoy this book, especially if you liked the first book in the series.

I received a free copy of this book and for an honest review.

Being the hero of Reverie is turning out to be much, much harder work than Adam was expecting. There is another side to the Great Dream. A city where all the strangest dreams come from.... Moonshine. Ruled by a mad Queen and full of chaos and oddity, up until now it had been left alone by the rest of the world, a destination for the lost, the lonely and the strange.

But now there is something new and very, very bad growing in the heart of Moonshine, and whether they like it or not, Adam and his friends are going to have to get to the bottom of it. If they don't then strange dreams will be the least of their problems.

Welcome to Moonshine is the second book in the Daydreamer Chronicles series

Humongous (& Cool) Words for Kids

SB Hilarion



Great book for helping kids to learn words

Reading this book and all the thought and pictures drawn into it, is a great experience, even as an adult you will likely learn some words that you never seen before.

If you have a child that you would like to know some big but interesting names I highly suggest that you check this book out. Not only does it give the word, the meaning, and a few pictures it even shows you the way to pronounce the word, making it easier on the adults that may not know the proper way to say it.

From the letter A to the letter Z you will have multiple pages for each letter to check out.

I received an ebook of this for free for an honest review

Retribution

by Anne Schlea



As the Toiseach (leader) of the vampire clan, named Clan of the Raven, Antonia is expected to lead but she decides to pursue her own dreams and leaves without letting anyone know, not even her "mate" who she feels has hurt her, and hopes that they will think she has died and move on. She wishes to no longer be a part of the vampire world and instead be mortal and attempts her own project to see if it is possible.

She is found by someone who thinks of her as an enemy, Richard, who wants to be the leader of the clan. Something happens (that i wont reveal and) Antonia gets wounded (they use another wording for this, but you will read it in the book), and since she hasn't fed in very long time her condition is not good.

I feel that I should mention Arthur (brother) and Stephanie (human college room mate and more) and one of the things they do after Antonia is hurt is they watch over Antonia while they wait on Zartan (leader of The Clan of the Dragon). Though they do so much more than this, I did want to mention their names without giving too much away.

Nosferatu are another kind that have the vampire genes but they are not the same and were once enemies until a truce was put into effect....will that stay true throughout the story, if so why do they keep the truce, and if not, what made them decide to no long keep the truce? Find out more when you read this book. ^_^

Read this great book to know more on the story line, you wont believe the things in store in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more from this author.

Antonia Paige has been ripped out of vampire retirement, and she's not happy about it.

Everyone in her life agrees Antonia was given control of her family's clan when she was far too young. And after a couple of centuries of doing a mediocre job, Antonia has managed to vanish from her family and vampire society. She lands at a small North Georgia college with a plan: through scientific experiment, she will attempt to remove the vampire virus from her system. If she is successful, she can be human again.

Unfortunately, it's much harder for the head of a clan to disappear than Antonia realizes. Her brother Richard wants the crown for himself, but to take it, he must take out his sister. He tracks her down, but luckily for Antonia, a lover she jilted long ago is hovering nearby, waiting for an opportunity to rescue her. Antonia has learned a lot during her years living as a human, however, and she doesn't want to be rescued--she wants to prove herself.

The Boy Who Dreamt the World: The Daydreamer Chronicles: Book 1

by Jethro Punter




Adam loves to day dream, even in places he shouldn't be doing so. While Adam thinks he is too old for bed time stories, it doesn't stop him from enjoying them. Adam and his mother are very much alike as you will find out when you read through this book.

Adam has a friend named Charlie who is like the polar opposite of Adam. In size, looks and even in imagination. Despite those differences they are good friends, which started when they were in a class together. Charlie does enjoy things that Adam comes out with, games, etc, and Adam can get things done because of Charlie. Something changes in Adams life when a new girl joins the class (you will have to read this interesting book to find out what that is though).

This story has an intriguing view point of what the dream world looks like, and how it interacts with people who are dreaming. I really enjoyed reading this book, it keeps you wondering what is coming next in the story line, and how it will play out. I am very interested to see what the second book will be like.

Adam is living the dream - literally.....

There are two worlds which have always lived alongside each other, The Waking World and the Great Dream, Reverie. Adam is living a very ordinary life until he becomes aware of the link between the worlds and discovers that, as a Daydreamer, he is one of the very few people who can travel freely between the two and achieve impossible things.

You would think that being in control of your dreams would be fun. But when both worlds are threatened by a new and growing danger and when Nightmares not only roam the dream world but also start chasing him even while he is awake, Adam realizes that he will need all of his new found powers just to survive the night.

With the help of a very unusual band of friends Adam now has to save both worlds, discover more about his past and, if he can, try and avoid yet another detention.

The Boy who Dreamt the World is the first book in the Daydreamer Chronicles series.

Screamcatcher: Web World

by Christy Breedlove





I received this book free from the author and will be giving a small rundown and an honest review on what I thought of it.



Jorlene (Jory) Pike and Choice Daniels are the people you meet right off the bat, and they greet you with some humor, in this encounter that you get to witness. As they talk in the first chapter you will see a build into what direction the story will be heading into, Nightmares.

Jory has /nightmares all the time that it takes her ages to fall asleep. Jory's grandfather (Albert White Feather Pike) has tried to give her some old herbal remedies like wild black cherry tea to try to help her through it, but nothing has worked.

Jory resorts to using a dream catcher from her grandfathers shop after being tag teamed with her Grandfather and Choice telling her to at least try it out cause it couldn't hurt. Choice and her grandfather make a deal in another room after she agreed to try it. If you wish to know about the deal (which in my opinion is why things with this precise dream catcher went wrong) you will just have to go read this epic tale yourself.

Jory and her 3 sleepover companions are dragged into the Nightmare-ish world. In this place there is one twist and turn after another that they have to deal with.

Personally i found this book to be a page turner, something I didn't want to put down until the end. There were so many twists and turns that it keeps you on the edge trying to guess what is going to be around that next corner (page). I really enjoyed this book, and will be looking forward to any others that may follow.

It all leads to the burning light that sears a hole through the middle of the earth.But is that the tunnel of light where people really go when they die? Or is it the Indian light of salvation--the circle of life--the hole in the web?
