Review: I Remember My Circus by Tom S. Figueiredo

It is a cute story for children. Too bad don't have someone to read it to right now.
It is about a circus about humans turning to animals animals to human. About going on when your world is pulled out on you.

Review: Restless Highways by Melissa L. Webb

4 STARS
Restless Highways is a little scary. I made the mistake at starting at 12:30am Home alone. after the first four stories I had to stop and read something lighter.
One story is about a romance writer who starts to get a idea for a slasher type book and starts writing late at night than realizing what she is writing tears it up and slasher guy comes and murder her because she did not write his story.
a couple goes to garage sale out in the country down a driveway loaded with sale items but no cars or people around. finally owners come out and try to get male to go with him out back to see old  cars. Then gets the couple to see stuff inside as they go they shut garage doors. the couple feel uneasy.
also a short story that is a prelude to longer book about a guy who has been wandering for 500 years. His wife keeps being reborn different times but God of death wants her. He protects her now she is reborn again.  Good be a good book to read in the future.

Review: Nightwatch by Valerie Hansen

5 STARS
This is the first book of Valeries that I have read but it won't be the last. It was a clean romance, mystery and suspence with a lot of heroes in it.
Mitch is a firefighter that takes on to much blame when he can't save everyone. Their was a loud explosion of a business and a house. They were able to save the three children but not the parents.
Jill is a foster parent. She was in foster care as a child.  Her husband died in a accident right after moving to a farm in a new area.  Mitch feels blame for not saving him. Mitch and Jill became friends because Mitch helped her out at the farm.
Someone set the bomb and murdered the parents, kidnapped the littlest child. Jill and Mitch are trying to protect the boys and get the baby back.
I really liked the characters, the children especially Tim 7 year old who was trying to protect and find his sister. So many wanted to help and protect the children. It is a book that I did not put down.

Review: Beyond Bullets by Rafal Gerszak with Dawn Hunter

5 STARS
This is not my typical type of book. Can't say I loved it but I do understand a little bit more about Afganistan and it's people. I wish their was no need for any war.
Rafel Gerszak spent a year enbedded with American troups. He saw and photographed the war.  Then later he went back to Afganistan on his own to see how the life was during war and what they were like.
This book was filled with pictures he took. Also had his journal and what was going on. plus facts about the people,politics.
He showed the struggle the people with injuries from war. Doctors treating people without the drugs and supplies we take for granted.  Showed how the women are and told more because its hard to get photographs of women.  Showed some changes, somethings stay the same.
Told how after a year enbedded than comming back to see the everyday life than going back with same American troups how much he had changed too.
I was given an ebook of this book so it was a little hard sometimes to see all I wanted to see. These photos moved me and make me appreciate the freedoms that I and my girls have. Hard to see the suffering but it's good that we know the cost of wars and freedoms.

Review: Montana Sheriff by Marie Ferrarella

4 STARS
It's a sappy romance, feel good romance. It made me smile while reading.
I would of thought their would have been more arguments and disappointment to find out you have a grandson or son five years after the fact.
Cole is the Sheriff of his small town. Has always wanted to live in Montana and be a rancher. Wanted to marry his best friend Ronnie.
Ronnie wanted out of the small town.  She wanted to graduate from collage and see what she could be and experience.
She left Cole out by the lake after they argued and made up.  Cole thought that meant staying and was shocked that she left.
Ronnie did not know she was pregnant till after she left. She did not tell Cole because she wanted more than living on a ranch. Did not want to see herself grow bitter over regrets. Or see Cole with regret.
Ronnie's father & brother got into a bad wreck two weeks ago, in fact her brother is still in a coma.  She came home with her son Christopher to help out for a few weeks. Hoping she would not run into instead the day after she arrived.
I enjoyed the book. Fast light read of a good romance.
