Shelly, her mother and grandmother can all see ghosts. They “collect” ghost that are stuck using their hair and then release them to move on to another plane. Its cute how even animals have ghosts that they help. Shelly starts collecting ghosts hoping that the one ghost she is looking for will come.

This book is about dealing with grief in younger children and how they don't always understand what is happening. This has an uplifting end though. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable story. I am looking forward to the next one.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable book. The first half was a little slow here and there but by the middle it was a whirlwind. I am going to look forward to the next book in the series.

This book has shawls, scarves and wraps a plenty. Most of the are definitely intermediate/advanced knitting level. Lots of beautiful lace and beading. Most of the patterns are written out and not charted which is fine for me as I am not comfortable with charts. The photography is stunning and patterns well laid out. Most of the wording seem fairly straight forward for me as an advanced beginner/intermediate knitter just starting to do some lace.

Suzanne is having trouble with co-worker in her real estate job. After a particularly bad fight she winds up dead and Suzanne is the main suspect. Suzanne and her knitting group try to investigate and clear her name. The interaction between Suzanne and her knitting friends is fun. Even though this is the 10th book in the series I was able to jump right in and enjoy it. I wasn't sure who did it until close to the end of the book.

I received this book free from the publisher for an honest review.

I absolutely loved this book. I dragged it out so it wouldn't end too soon. Elton goes through his drug and alcohol fueled episodes of life with very frank openness. He also tells a lot of funny stories about celebrities and himself.

On re-read on audible it was even better. I found more I forgot about and the extra chapter is well worth it.

I really thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had not read [b:The Shining 11588 The Shining (The Shining, #1) Stephen King https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1353277730l/11588.SY75.jpg 849585] before reading this but it did not take anything away from it. Things were explained without too much exposition. I listened to on Audible and it was narrated very well.

I really enjoyed the television show this dog is from. The poetry is fun and would be a nice way to introduce young adults and children into poetry without being too serious. It would make nice gifts for dog lovers as well.

I really enjoyed this book. Pilot X has to try right wrongs in space and time. It just seems the more he does it the more he needs to do it. He is tasked with saving the universe or risk it imploding completely. Which is the right path to go?

Emma and Jason are going to get married. The trouble is Jason's friends. They are always getting into some kind of scrape or another. Jason's friends decide to give him a stag party weekend and Jason just wants to rest and wait to get married. Jason is 4'10” and Emma is beautiful and blind so Jason is always thinking she's going to dump him.

I listened to this on audible and the narrator does a great job. It was a funny cute story.

Aiden has to solve and prevent Evelyn's murder to get out of the neverending repeating day. He keeps repeating the same day in the bodies of different people. It is a strange book and takes a little getting used to. There is a bit of a surprise at the end.

Kestor's mothers dying request was that he find Dr. Ribero and tell him who he is. He finds Dr. Ribero and he gets involved with his Agency of the Supernatural. He feels like a fish out of water there and needs to find his inner talent to get rid of the Green-Dressed Ghost.

The book had a slow beginning but by the end I couldn't put it down and really enjoyed the ending.

Derik is becoming an Alpha and driving his family crazy so he sets out to California to take care of Sara who is the reincarnated Morgana La Fay whom they believe will end the world. Enter the hilarious world of MaryJanice Davidson. I always fun her books very fun to read.

Joe Grey and Dulcie are talking cats but they only talk to a few they trust. Their little ward “Kit” keeps getting in trouble. Kate, Wilma and Clyde together with the cats try to solve the murders and find the little girl who could clear Max Harper as well. There is a cougar in the outskirts of the town which poses another obstacle. Its a fun read especially if you like cats.

Abby Normal wants to become a vampire but instead she's living with her older boyfriend and watching over the statues of Jody and Flood to make sure they come to no harm. There are vampire cats roaming the city killing everything in site and Abby with her boyfriend and a couple of cops are trying to stop Chet the lead vampire cat from destroying the city. Christopher Moore always has offbeat characters and I wind up laughing a lot.

Kay is a Medical Examiner is still trying to get over her failed romance with Mark. A killer is killing young couples removing their shoes. Kay teams up with Moreno and her friend Abby to try to find out who the serial killer is. FBI keeps getting in the way and inhibiting Kay's efforts.

I really enjoyed this next chapter in the series. I am looking forward to the next book.

This is the second in the series and it does not disappoint. Amelia Gray is a cemetery restorer called on by an anonymous benefactor to go to South Carolina and restore Asher cemetery. She's finds out why she is drawn to the place. Amelia sees ghosts and they are not always friendly. Looking forward to the next book.

At the same time she has to try to wrangle the group of writers and keep them out of trouble when they decide to try to figure out the killer.

Even though I didn't start the series with the first book, there is enough background that I didn't have to have read the previous books. It was a little predictable in places but the ending did have a twist that I didn't see coming.

I received this book free for an honest review.

Raven Black is unusual being half-mage half-vampire, something that is not supposed to happen. She inadvertently hears something she shouldn't have and now Darius and his group are after her. She lives on the streets so when Keystone takes her in she doesn't know what to think. I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down. I am looking forward to the rest of the series. I had never read any of the Mageriverse books but you don't need to have read the previous ones for this new series.

This was so good and potato chippy. I could not put it down.

Mercy's friend Samuel is having trouble with being a wolf and his wolf takes over. Her friend Finn is missing. Someone in the pack is making trouble for her. She has a lot to deal with but does it with her usual bluntness and flair. So looking forward to the next book.

Casey is having her college friends up for a retreat in which they will learn to knit. She is worried at how they will view her life now and that she won't measure up to them. Then a murder happens to one of the group and everyone is a suspect. A lot of the characters are a bit annoying but that's what happens when friends grow apart.

This was a fun read and the characters a bit zany sometimes, but I like that in a cozy mystery. I found that I didn't have to read the previous books to understand the characters.

I am looking forward to reading more of the series.

This was a fun book to read. I learned quite a bit about color mixing using many different mediums such as watercolors, paints, colored papers. I immediately got out my colored pencils and started playing with different combinations. As a crocheter and knitter this information given will really help me find great color combinations.

I am a fairly new person to the ideas of mixing colors but the information was given in straight forward language. I really like the idea of the “mother color” to base a project off of.

This is a great resource for those wanting to start to branch out into making their shawls unique for them. She starts the book with a very basic idea of a triangle and then modules to add to it. There are 20 patterns included which are very well written and easy to understand.

As a fairly new knitter I am a little intimidated to branch out and try to design my own shawl but now I feel I have enough information to do so.

I have always loved eating cookie dough whether it was safe or not. But this is a game changer. I can now eat it safely without worry. There are so many recipes in this book I want to try immediately. Snickerdoodle is probably the first one I'm going to try.

I got this book free from the publisher for an honest review.

I really did not like this book. It was basically a road trip aka free love era. It was really about Jimmo's trip to Alaska to join the resistance against the “Grays” who seem to be everywhere. But basically most of the story seemed to center around Jimmo and his sexcapades. Very little actual aliens in the story. I rarely give a book a one star rating. I usually just stop reading it. But I kept hoping for a payoff which did happen in the end. I could have skipped most of the chapters and gone right to the last chapter or two.
