Review: Sookie and Ivy Books

 

These two books are delightful!

They both follow the same format: pictures of the two dogs with hats on one page and a famous quote on the other side. 

These books are perfect for relaxing and sharing with friends.

Review: Dream Big Dreams and Reach Higher

Dream Big Dreams: Photographs from Barack Obama's time as President of the United States

Reach Higher: Photographs of Michelle Obama's time as First Lady

Both books were inspiring to read. The photographs were amazing. You could see the joy on people's faces on meeting these two amazing people as they spread kindness and love both at home and at work. They helped change the world. The evidence is right before your eyes in these two books. 

Library Recommendation: Grab these two books for your school and public libraries. 

Review: The Fall of Grace

Grace's junior year of high school is picture perfect, until she watches the news. Her mother is being investigated by the FBI for fraud. She's accused of taking money from her business - an investment fund. Grace's classmates and their families invested - some heavily.

Grace can't even confront her mother about the truth because her mother had a stroke and slipped into a coma. Now even her best friends have turned against her and she's persona non grata in school.

Is her mother a thief? Was it a set-up? A mistake? Is the money hidden somewhere?

My Thoughts: I loved this book. I kept turning the pages because I Needed to know what happened. I loved the dual timelines and how they came together. I love the photography moments. I love the hiking - even the scary parts of hiking. I really enjoyed the banter between Grace and Sam. I love how Grace had a perfect life - until she didn't and how she dealt with that. Another winner of a story from Amy Fellner Dominy. I can't wait to see what she writes next! And if you haven't read her other books, go out a get them, you won't be sorry!

Cover Thoughts: I love it - especially the gray fog.
