<br />
It's been a long time since I've made a blog post. Life got away from me in so many ways.<br />
Last time you heard from me I had started a job and my life got crazy.<br />
I had no time for my blog, book reviews or for product reviews. I hardly had time for my kids because my job made me completely exhausted.<br />
Three years later I got layed off because the company shut down. I took a year off and got married to Claude after being together 10 years. It'll be our 3 year wedding anniversary this July. Time flies.<br />
After all that I went to work for a shoe store, it was awful and I quickly found another job. I really enjoyed the job but it was physically exhausting for me. I lost about 40lbs between September to Feb.<br />
Along with all that our son was having more and more difficulties with school, behavioral and health wise. It got to the point where the school called almost every day. That and trying to keep a clean home got to be a bit overwhelming for me and I started to get agrophobic and panicked for small things. Which then depressed me. It was a dark place.<br />
I stopped working and went crazy on my house. I organized every closet and cupboards for the first couple of months then I rearranged items. I noticed that if my house was in chaos then my emotions and worries were as well. The cleaning and organizing really helped.<br />
Our son's school problems just continued to get worse and we noticed it got a bit better when I was home and we had more of a schedule. Our daughter moved out to become an adult and has been adulting very well. We are so proud of her. She'll be going to college this year.<br />

Another huge change is that I replaced my makeup creations for actual painting. It has taken my art to another level. My parents were a huge support, they loved my paintings and my husband was as well. My dad believes in me so much that he bought me most of my paint supplies. I'm very thankful. Painting has helped me so much and has made me get out of the house even when I wanted to stay home. I joined the local art society and I participated tons. I was featured in our local paper and then did a Plein Air festival for a weekend. I even had my very own solo exhibition. Fifteen original paintings by me.<br />
The excitement of the opening day almost did me in. I was so anxious. Only my family and best friend showed up for it and I was extremely disappointed. I headed back to cleaning house, organizing and being depressed for a month after. I also didn't sell a single painting<br />
I haven't given up though. I'm still painting and will continue to do so. It's very therapeutic.<br />
I've decided to start blogging again. It may be therapeutic as well. I'll do book reviews again, some product reviews. I'll share my paintings and try to do some paintings of the scenes from some of the books I review.<br />
I'll give it another go.<br />
I've had over 45 thousand views on my blog, that's huge to me. Hopefully I'll continue to get more.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
MAGIC IS A DRUG. CAREFUL HOW YOU USE IT.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />The Magical Enforcement
Agency keeps dirty magic off the streets, but there's a new blend out
there that's as deadly as it is elusive. When patrol cop Kate Prospero
shoots the lead snitch in this crucial case, she's brought in to explain
herself. But the more she learns about the investigation, the more she
realizes she must secure a spot on the MEA task force. <br />Especially
when she discovers that their lead suspect is the man she walked away
from ten years earlier - on the same day she swore she'd given up dirty
magic for good. Kate Prospero's about to learn the hard way that
crossing a wizard will always get you burned, and that when it comes to
magic, you should never say never.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was another interesting read and a new to me author. I enjoyed this book, it was imaginative and had some good action to it. I liked learning the world of this book since it's quite different from any of the other books I've read. Magic is the norm in this world but magical people are considered second class.</div>

Kate is the main character and she my fave kind of heroine, she's a hard ass that has a smart mouth and tough as nails. Kate has magic but refuses to use it, she feels that it's more dangerous than is useful. Bad things happen even when it's good magic. How do you fight against the bag guy when your willing to fight magic with magic, Kate does just that and kicks ass while doing it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a great paranormal/sci-fi book and worth reading as it's action packed and filled with mystery. I plan to have this author in my TO KEEP PILE.</div>

Journalist Ambrosia
Pellerin accepts an assignment involving the legendary phoenix,
expecting, if nothing else, a little entertainment. Instead, she winds
up pregnant—by a surprisingly human-looking firebird, Reece Bennu.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As
the Phoenix prince, Reece is next in line to the throne and expected to
marry a purebred royal. A common human such as Ambrosia is not in the
cards. He swears, though, he’ll never be an absentee father.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As
Ambrosia’s due date grows closer, so do the soon-to-be parents. But will
their tentative love survive the prejudice of Reece’s grandmother, who
will stop at nothing to tear the two apart?</div>

This was a good book but pretty much predictable. There's a guy with secret and a journalist who wants to know them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A-typical romance ensues, kind of Romeao and Juliette type of thing. I recommend this book to people who enjoy paranormal romances that are easy to read. I don't have much to say about this book because it was so average.</div>

Sam wakes to see strange vessels gathered in the
skies around London. As he stares up, people stream past, walking
silently towards the enormous ships which emit a persistent noise. Only
Sam seems immune to the signal.<br /><br />Six months later, Sam is
absolutely alone. Injured by one of the flying drones which now populate
London, Sam realizes that without medical supplies he will die.
Venturing above ground he is attacked again, but this time the drone is
shot down in a hail of machine gun fire. In five minutes Sam learns two
things: he is not alone; the drone injury should have killed him
instantly – yet he is still alive. The battle for Earth is about to
begin.</div>

Another great book and new to me Author worth reading. I'm so glad I got the chance to read this book. It was excellent. Lots of action and suspense infused into this read. As a side not; I love the book-cover.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This poor kid called Sam wakes up to strange lights (just like in the alien movies) then sees his family in a trance walking like zombies. He tries his best to wake them out of the trance and is unable to so he follows them to see what exactly is happening. Poor Sam has to grow up real quick to stay alive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alone for half a year, yeah that could make a simple person crazy but luckily there's something special about Sam. He gets hurt and thinks he may be dieing, he has no choice but to get himself the antibiotics needed to survive. It's extremely dangerous but he has no choice. While trying to stay alive he finally finds others who were not captured by the aliens. They work together to bring earth back under human control.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This book was thrilling and different. I read tons and recently I have been having a hard time finding books that are different and imaginative. This one was and I recommend you give it a try. I pretty sure you'll enjoy it to.</div>

Have you ever wondered what would happen to a werewolf in the vampire/zombie apocalypse?<br />
When
Layne Yow finds herself smack in the middle of a full fledged zombie
apocalypse she does what any werewolf would do...she calls bullshit on
the universe. Sure, there are vampires, werewolves, and other assorted
paranormal creatures in the world, but zombies? No freakin' way.<br />
Layne
is a young werewolf on the run from her recent past as an elite vampire
killer. She quickly finds out that you can't outrun life or absurdity.
Layne's big mouth and desire to rescue everyone puts her (and her new
friends) into harm's way more than once.<br />

Awesome book and great start to a new series!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I truly enjoyed this book as it is different then most books I have read about Zombie apocalypses. It was a breath of fresh air and was an absolute ball to read.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The main character Layne is a werewolf and a kickass lady with a smart mouth and crazy sense of humor. This character will make you laugh out loud throughout the book. You never know what she'll think of next. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Layne finds out the hard way that Zombies have risen and no one including the paranormal community is safe from them. She gets her ass kickers on and kiss ass with the help of some new friends. These new friends are some that she would never have believed she'd make a connection with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No shiny vamps, no fast moving friendly zombies and no hint of a dull moment. This is the perfect zombie book for my MUST KEEP PILE.</div>

<span id="freeText12448260007757834774">Women And Children
FirstIn the fourth shattering installment of Ray Garton's six-part
"Frankenstorm," an outbreak of madness, mayhem, and murder has every
man, woman and child running for shelter. But home is where the horror
is...<br /><br /><b>Frankenstorm</b><br />Andy is more than a little worried when
his ex-wife-a former drug addict who has custody of their son-is seen
hanging around with her old crowd. But when he learns that her dealer
has moved in with them, Andy has no choice but to take action. He finds
an unlikely ally in Police Deputy Ram von Pohle-a local bully who
tormented Andy in school. Ram swears he wants to make up for those years
of abuse. He convinces Andy that the raging storm is the perfect
opportunity to break in to his ex-wife's home and save Andy's boy. But
when the weather reaches a fever pitch, their simple plan backfires. The
night quickly escalates into a bloodbath. Ram explodes with rage,
bodies are torn apart by bullets, and Andy and his son find themselves
trapped inside a nightmare...with a deranged sadist.<br /><br />When the storm hits this close to home, no one is safe.

They’ll
pay him a fortune to find a killer tornado for their movie. <br />
He knows the risks all too well, but he never imagined just how dangerous
the perfect storm could be. <br />
<br />
Chuck Rittenburg was one of the most intrepid storm chasers in the country
until a bad decision resulted in the death of a young couple who’d paid to
ride along. A decade later—broke, divorced, and estranged from his
college-age children—he’s got nothing left to lose. When a film producer
offers Chuck one-million dollars to help find and photograph a deadly tornado
in Oklahoma, Chuck sees a chance to earn his kids’ respect again—and maybe
his own. <br />
The situation quickly becomes about more than tracking a monster tornado
for Hollywood. FBI Agent Gabi Medeiros insists on riding along. A burglary
ring is targeting tornado-ravaged neighborhoods, and their tactics now
include murder.<br />
With the stage set for a major heist, a deadly supercell, and a
confrontation between Man and Nature on an epic scale, Chuck and his crew
will be lucky to escape in one piece. </div>

When it comes to spooks, specters, and things that go bump in the night, knowledge is power and fear is the enemy. <em>How to Clear Your Home of Ghosts & Spirits </em>is
a guide to everything you need to know about how to get rid of ghosts.
Paranormal researcher Debi Chestnut provides a brief history of ghosts,
and describes the types of ghosts, the different kinds of haunting, the
reasons ghosts haunt, and tips and techniques for clearing them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also
discussed are important topics such as how ghosts and spirits can be
brought into the home accidentally, activities to avoid so as not to
invite ghosts, and information on when and how to choose a paranormal
team for extreme cases. Written in a no-nonsense style by an author with
years of experience, this guide is a must-have for those who prefer to
live with the facts instead of living in fear.</div>

While browsing books to read and review I came across this book and thought to myself "That looks like an interesting read" I was certainly right. I enjoyed this book immensely. It's like watching some of my favorite TV shows "Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures" while entertaining it's also very informative.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do believe in ghosts and spirits and I feel this book would be a good resource to others who also believe and are having problems with them in their home. If you are then I highly recommend you purchase and read this book.</div>

of questions and a 9mm in his hand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All Mitch knows is
that Halina broke his heart and disappeared. But new information has

I love Joan Swan's writing! I've been pretty lucky at getting to review Joan's books, her writing style is clean, uncluttered and the story-lines are easy to follow. This series is the bomb, it's got everything I look for in books. Action, mystery, intrigue, romance and paranormal elements. It's the perfect read to take me away from the every day deluge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Halina has been hiding for years but has just been found by Mitch. While her world crumbles around her she clutches to her secrets even more. With powers she doesn't completely comprehend she saves Mitch's life over and over. Mitch knows there's more to Halina's story and he intends to find out what she is hiding before time runs out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Joan Swan is one of my favorite new author's out there. I hope you will give her books a try because your missing out if you don't. I give this book 5 STARS!!!!</div>

Keep his brother's business going or the Merricks will be out on the street. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep the secret of where he's going in the evenings from his own twin--or he'll lose his family. </div>

<span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="background-color: #ea9999;">Christmas
in London – a time for late night shopping on Regent’s Street or ice
skating at Somerset House under a blanket of twinkling fairy lights, the
warming, welcoming aroma of mulled wine in the air…<br /><br />Or, alternatively, a time for bumping into the ghosts of one night stands past in Ella Scott’s case!<br /><br />Checking
into her boutique hotel for a weekend of Christmas shopping, the last
person Ella expects to bump into at reception is Tom bloody Henley –
ambitious doctor, highly eligible bachelor and with whom she had the
most unbelievable, mind-blowing brief encounter five Christmases ago.<br /><br />But
Ella slipped out quietly the morning after all those years ago for a
reason and although Tom’s got a look on his face that suggests Christmas
has come early, there’s no way she’s going to be repeating past
mistakes… right?</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="background-color: #ea9999;">Unfortunately.... This was not one of my favorite reads this year. I'll admit there was lots of romance and hot scenes but no substance to back it up.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130;"><span style="background-color: #ea9999;">This story reminds me of jumping into a puddle with both feet. There's no real beginning to get you ready for the story or characters. Then when you get to the middle of the story there's not much of a climax. The only redeeming feature of the story is the love scenes.</span></span></div>

<strong>The One Man She Can't Have<br /></strong>Matt Dean was born to
fight . . . and kill. A member of a secret black-ops military unit, he
and his brothers were genetically engineered by the government to be the
perfect soldiers with an expiration date. Now, with time running out,
he's gone rogue in a relentless quest for the one person who can save
them. His mission leads him to Charmed, Idaho . . . and to a beautiful
woman with eyes like emeralds and a body made for pleasure.<br /><br /><b>The One Woman He Can't Resist</b><br /><br />Laney
Jacobs knows the mysterious, handsome stranger is trouble from the
moment he walks into her bar, looking for a job. She's spent years
running from her own past-the last thing she needs is a romantic
entanglement. But Matt's strong arms offer her protection and his gentle
touch promises passion unlike anything she's ever known. As lethal
forces surround them, revealing explosive secrets about Matt's past and
putting everything-and everyone-he holds dear in danger, can he save
them all before time runs out?</div>

Awesome!!!! This book had it all! Lots of romance, action, deception and romance. I'd have no problem placing a bow on this book and giving it to my pals for a present.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Matt Dean is Hot and Deadly! Black Op military specialist he's trying to find the Doctor that implanted him and his team with devices that could end their lives. It's a fight against time and people who have the financing to do pretty much anything to stop them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Laney Jacobs seems to be a woman of contradictions. Almost like she has split personalities. She's hiding and does not want to be found, if she is only bad things can come from it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can see this book being the beginning of a wonderful series but I think it may be stand alone. Either way it's an awesome book and it's worth reading!</div>

only one thing on Becca Sinclair’s Christmas list this holiday season –
her very own column in the local paper. And if she can build a huge
blog following, her wish just might come true.<br /><br />Enter Dan ‘Wolf’
Wolford aka the man-whore next door and the new star of Becca’s popular,
post-divorce blog about men. A Navy SEAL turned commander of the
Florida Marine Rescue Unit, Wolf’s the very definition of the word alpha
– and with an endless rotation of women on his doorstep, this hunk on a
Harley has Becca and her female followers all hot and bothered!<br /><br />All
Becca wants for Christmas is her newspaper column, right? But when she
finds herself the target of Wolf’s irresistible attentions, her snarky
comebacks become less and less convincing and, suddenly, she’s not so
sure anymore…</span></span></span></span></div>

When fiercely independent Vivian Reese is thrust onto the national stage
during a heated presidential campaign, she doesn't expect to become a
media darling. She also doesn't expect to start to fall for her sexy new
bodyguard, Marcus Locke. But when threats start surfacing against the
sitting President's campaign and all evidence points to Vivian, she
doesn't know who to trust. Delta Force Operator turned FBI agent Marcus
Locke is supposed to be investigating campaign finance crimes. He's not
supposed to be checking out the sexy, eloquent campaign spokeswoman
Vivian Reese, who's one of his prime suspects! But when they are caught
in the middle of a presidential race that is quickly turning deadly, he
is forced to put both his heart and his job in the line of fire. Tempers
flare and passions ignite as the campaign gets dangerous, but when
bullets start to fly will either of them survive?</div>

This was a good book, a little easy to predict but good just the same.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vivian works for a politician that is running for President and is requested to cover media interviews for him to drum up the votes. She begins getting letters from a stalker, a bodyguard is hired to keep her safe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Marcus is the new bodyguard and he really likes Vivian who is prim and proper but has no problem standing up to him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoyed the storyline and it had good flow but as I said it was pretty easy to determine what would happen next. If you enjoy political suspense with romance this is a good one for you.</div>

War in an alternate universe, the bad guys are on the rampage and want to take over the world or just destroy it. This is an action packed read. So much so that it's hard to stay focused on the story. I got lost through the book a few times. However, it was a pretty good read and I was able to picture the scenarios. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is quite a few characters in the book and that is why I got lost, I kept mixing them up and it made it a bit tough for me to keep up with the characters an each of their parts in the war.</div>

If you like books with multiple characters, action and paranormal abilities this is an excellent book for you.</div>

As bodies pile up in the wake of a storm—stripped, tortured and grimly
posed—authorities must admit the unthinkable. The serial killer dubbed
the Stormchaser has returned following a tornado and taken it upon
himself to bring the death toll up to where he believes it belongs.<br />
<br />
FBI
investigator Wade Luckett is back on the case, assisted by an agent
Wade knows professionally and personally: his ex-wife, Jo. Neither time
nor the tragedy that tore them apart have blunted the ache Wade feels
for brave, beautiful Jo. And though she tries to deny it, she feels the
same. But the stirrings of renewed romance will have to wait until they
catch a killer.<br />
<br />
The Stormchaser has no intention of getting
caught. He's set his sights on a new victim. Jo can forget about the
lifetime she dreams of spending with Wade. She'll be lucky to see
another day.</div>

Another great book by Sharon Sala, this author has a way with words she weaves descriptions like a spider weaves a web; with true perfection. This is book two in the series "Forces of Nature". Book one in the series is called "Going Once". A great series with a thrilling aspect in each one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FBI investigators are trying to figure out who the serial killer "StormChaser" is. A conniving killer who kills survivors from natural disasters. Agent Wade was onc4e married to Agent Jo and they are thrown together to investigate the crimes being committed during and after the devastating storms. The killer changes his MO when things do not go his way and all becomes a guessing game.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a thrilling read and I love reading any book that describe people who are surviving natural disaters and no writes books about natural disasters as well as Sharon Sala. She describe each scene in perfect detail.</div>

Being rescued by a good-looking, bad-boy firefighter isn't how Samantha
Bennett expected to start her stay in Knights Bridge, Massachusetts. Now
she has everyone's attention—especially that of Justin Sloan, her
rescuer, who wants to know why she was camped out in an abandoned old
New England cider mill.<br /><br />Samantha is a treasure hunter who has
returned to Knights Bridge to solve a 300-year-old mystery and salvage
her good name. Justin remembers her well. He's the one who alerted her
late mentor to her iffy past and got her fired. But just because he
doesn't trust her doesn't mean he can resist her. Samantha is daring,
determined, seized by wanderlust—everything that strong, stoic Justin
never knew he wanted. Until now…</div>

Suzanne Brockmann’s seamless blend of heroic military action and intense passion inspired <i>USA Today</i>
to call her “a superstar of romantic suspense”—and for years her
award-winning Troubleshooters books have been must-reads for fans of
sizzling stories of action and adventure. Now the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author shoots to thrill again with <i>Do or Die,</i> an electrifying new novel that is certain to win Brockmann new readers and delight devotees. <br /> <br />
Navy SEAL Ian Dunn went rogue in a big way when he turned his talents
to a lawless life of jewel heists and con jobs. Or so the world has been
led to believe. In reality, the former Special Ops warrior is still
fighting for good, leading a small band of freelance covert operatives
who take care of high-stakes business in highly unofficial ways. That
makes Ian the hands-down choice when the U.S. government must breach a
heavily guarded embassy and rescue a pair of children kidnapped by their
own father, a sinister foreign national willing to turn his kids into
casualties. Shockingly, Ian passes on the mission for reasons he will
not—or cannot—reveal.<br /> <br /> But saying no is not an option.
Especially not for Phoebe Kruger, Ian’s beautiful and unexpectedly brash
new attorney. Determined to see the abducted children set free, she not
only gets Ian on board but insists on riding shotgun on his <i>Mission: Impossible</i>–style operation, whether he likes it or not.<br /> <br />
Though Phoebe has a valuable knack for getting out of tight spots,
there’s no denying the intensely intimate feelings growing between Ian
and Phoebe as the team gears up for combat. But these are feelings they
both must fight to control as they face an array of cold-blooded
adversaries, including a vindictive mob boss who’s got Ian at the top of
his hit list and a wealthy psychopath who loves murder as much as
money. As they dodge death squads and play lethal games of deception,
Ian and Phoebe will do whatever it takes to save the innocent and
vanquish the guilty—or die trying.<br />

<br />
Another awesome book by Suzanne Brockmann. She is one of my favorite authors and her books never disappointment. They are full of action and mystery. This book is no different it kept me intrigued from beginning to finish. <br />
<br />
Pheobe Kruger is a lawyer who is new to a firm and is given Ian Dunn's file. She's thrown into quite a conundrum. This prim and proper lawyer will do all she can for her client. She just had no idea it would in tale so much. Ian Dunn is in prison for a crime he didn't commit but plans to stay there. The FBI has different ideas, they make it impossible for Ian to stay in jail. They want him to save two children that are stuck at an embassy. With politics being what they are they need someone who can work around the system to free the children.<br />
<br />
Suzanne Brockmann did a superb job creating a web of lies and and characters to unravel it all. I highly recommend you give this book a read because it will keep you on the edge of your seat.<br />
<br />
5 STARS!!!<br />

the small town of Crystal Lake, Christmas is a time for sledding, hot
chocolate, and cozying up to the fire with those you love. For Jake

would never be anything harder than losing his brother. Turns out there
is: falling in love with his brother’s widow, Raine.<br /><br />Ever since
they were little, Jesse was the Edwards brother who was always there for
her, and Jake was the one who knew just how to push her buttons. Raine
can’t imagine a life without them, which is why it was doubly decimating

she doesn’t know whether to be mad or thrilled. Maybe both. Maybe it
will be the perfect chance for both of them to finally find happiness

A classic heartwarming tale for the holidays from <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Susan Mallery <br />
<br />
The
cheer in Fool's Gold, California, is bringing out the humbug in dancer
Evie Stryker. An injury has forced her to return home to her estranged
family. So she won't add to the awkward scenario by falling for the
charms of her brother's best friend, no matter how tempting he is. When
she's recruited to stage the winter festival, she vows to do as
promised, then move on, anywhere but here. <br />
<br />
Jaded lawyer Dante
Jefferson is getting used to the town he now calls home, but the
pounding of little dancers' feet above his office is more than he can
take. When he confronts their gorgeous teacher, he's unprepared for
their searing attraction. Evie is his best friend's sister—off-limits
unless he's willing to risk his heart. Dante has always believed that
love is dangerous, but that was before he had to reckon with the magic
of a certain small town, where miracles do seem to happen….</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>Mrs. Miracle on 34th Street <br /><br />This Christmas, Emily Merkle (just
call her Mrs. Miracle) is working in the toy department of Finley's, the
last family-owned department store in New York City. And her boss is
none other than Jake Finley, the owner's son. <br /><br />For Jake, holiday
memories of brightly wrapped gifts, decorated trees and family
gatherings were destroyed in a Christmas Eve tragedy years before. Now
Christmas means only one thing to him—and to his father. Profit. Because
they need a Christmas miracle to keep the business afloat. <br /><br />Holly
Larson needs a miracle, too. She wants to give her eight-year-old
nephew, Gabe, the holiday he deserves. Holly's widowed brother is in the
army and won't be home for Christmas, but at least she can get Gabe
that toy robot from Finley's, the one gift he desperately wants. If she
can figure out how to pay for it… <br /><br />Fortunately, it's Mrs. Miracle
to the rescue. Next to making children happy, she likes nothing better
than helping others—and that includes doing a bit of matchmaking! <br /><br />This Christmas will be different. For all of them.<br />
<br />
**************************************<br />
<br />
Due to this book I am truly ready for Christmas. This books has all the elements it takes to be a perfect Christmas story. Highs and lows and miracles abound.<br />
<br />
There are some wonderful characters in this book. Mrs. Miracle a kindly older lady helps bring Christmas cheer to the department store Findley's. She helps Manager and store owner's son Jake sell toy Robots. Jake feels it'll be this years big seller. Like Cabbage Patch Kids or Elmo was in the past.<br />
<br />
Holly is Gabe's aunt, a great lady who has no children of her own. She is caring for Gabe, his father is in the army and is in the Middle East. She wants to make a special holiday for her nephew and to try and make peace with her own feelings of being inept with children.<br />
<br />
Jake and Holly meet while Gabe is mooning over the toy robot. With a little holiday magic just maybe all their Christmas wishes will come true.<br />
<br />
I feel like I really lucked out getting to read this book. It's strife with the magic of the holidays and it made me feel like I had witnessed a truly special moment. I highly recommend you read this book because it just may make you appreciate Christmas a little more.<br />

Claire
Bowman and her twin sister, Sarah, have been making up stories and
creating music and art together their entire lives. Their parents
claimed they were harmonizing together from their infant cribs. They now
perform and tour internationally as The Bowmans and have successfully
released three albums plus their new Christmas album due just released
October 29th. Claire's debut illustrated story book, <i>Mert the Anxious Evergreen</i> (November
7, 2013), the triumphant tale about a little pine tree who longs to
grow up to be a Christmas tree, was actually inspired by one of the
carols on their holiday album. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Mert
is an endearing tale of an anxious tree who wishes to save his beloved
home from encroaching land development by being chosen as a Christmas
tree, though he doesn't know how. He believes that he will be able to
prevent the razing of Hickory Flats farm and forest if only he can find
Christmas spirit -- as he conspires with his friend John the cat to
overcome new obstacles. Mert, preciously naïve, mistakenly believes he
needs the powerful Christmas spirit in order to achieve anything, but as
it turns out he stumbles onto success with the help and love of all
those around him.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Beautifully
written and boldly illustrated, Mert is a tale of Christmas love that
you won’t soon forget, sharing warm lessons in friendship, family
relationships, camaraderie, finding humor in life’s tough situations,
man’s struggles to preserve something good and hope.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Mert the Anxious Evergreen is a special children's book but cannot be enjoyed in one sitting with a young child who cannot listen for more then 10 minutes at a time. I managed to only get to 43% of the book before my son said he'd had enough and that the book was too long.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I unfortunately had to agree with my eight year old. It was a bit too long winded. The storyline is superb and the illustrations beautiful. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I wouldn't recommend reading this book via an ereader because you lose the beautiful colors and it is much too hard to read. I tried changing the size of the letters but then I would lose the pictures in the book.</div>

No one likes to be different unless they can be unique. This book not only teaches children that it's ok to be different but to embrace it. <br />

I adored this Christmas tale and so did my son. It was not too long and had just the right words to keep him interested and reading along with me. He really enjoy the pictures and tried guessing what would happen next.<br />
<br />
This book is just as enjoyable as Rudolph was to me as a child. I could see this book becoming a children's favorite during the holidays.<br />
