Justice Calling (The Twenty-Sided Sorceress, #1)Justice Calling by Annie Bellet

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Disclosure and confession: I was given this book for honest review. Sorry it took me SO long to actually read it!

This was a fun story. I love the main character. I love her nerdy game store. I can relate better to her next-door neighbor’s store of antiques, to tell you the truth. I just was born too late to get into gaming. Still my adult children and so many of my younger friends have been those gamers. So I love them dearly!

Annie Bellet wrote such a strong book that I felt like I was there in the scene. I felt I identified with the main character in how she deals with the problems that surround her. I love that inner voice of her thoughts. I laughed out loud at the occasional mental conversations.

Having read all of SM Reine’s shifter/demon/witch stories, I may be over-done on the subject matter. Though I can find no fault in Justice Calling, except that it is too short. Ya know, I think I just talked myself into raising the rating to five stars instead of four. I do like that Jade Crow is different than other shifters. I’m looking forward to reading and getting addicted to Ms. Bellet’s work.

A Barrel of Laughs, a Vale of TearsA Barrel of Laughs, a Vale of Tears by Jules Feiffer

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Well, that’s done.

This is a children’s chapter book with a lot of fun illustrations.

BUT… This fairytale should have been given to kids a couple centuries ago. I can’t imagine reading it to my boys back in the 1970’s without surrounding it with a lot of plays of the video or album of Free to be You and Me. It is male heavy with the females in lowly roles of being rescued and put in their places as wives and mothers. So, I wouldn’t have read it to my daughter in the 1980’s. As adults, I might share this with them to giggle at. But that is all.

Though the font was large enough for my eyes, the pages were long and the spaces between lines not as wide as I’d like.

The humor is what saved the book. Even though it was annoying at the first of the book it does settle into something one can handle later.

This is a bookCrossing book BCID 415-5548271. Thank you to my BC friends for letting me keep it so long and letting me read it. Now I will pass it on to others.

The Tagger Herd: Sadie TaggerThe Tagger Herd: Sadie Tagger by Gini Roberge

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Since my fund are much tighter this month than ever before, I had to quit my Kindle Unlimited subscription. 😦 But I have one more day to read as many as I can before letting the list of books go. So it was that I decided that since the first three books of this series were free and this one was Kindle Unlimited I had better read it today, too. Not sure if I will be able to get to the rest of this series this month as I do have other books on KU to read, also.

I love how the author, Gini Roberge, has been able to keep my interest while zeroing in on individual children of this extended family. The last being one of the oldest of the kids. This one, Sadie, is around ten, as I recall. Still the story doesn’t feel juvenile. Her cousin, Wade, was featured in book two, so we have gotten to know parenting styles and how they all fit as a family and as the Tagger Herd owners.

As I wrote in my last three reviews of this series, I am quite impressed with the lack of sex, violence or profanity in these books while they are intriguing and aimed at any age group who happens upon them. I love the care of the people and the horses that are shown in these books without any preachiness at all. Just people being people, who love animals. I can’t wait to read more of this series!
