My Reading Getaway

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review virtual book tour for A New Friend for Dragon . This book is extra special because it is written by the driving force of The Children’s Book Review! Bianca not only loves helping others find great childrens books, she write them herself! Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in order to share my opinion. About the Book: In this most recent tale in Clever’s beloved Dragon series, a new knight has come to town! Sir Fiero wears smooth, shiny armor and has a sparkling silver sword. Dragon wants to be friends with him and invites him to play. But Sir Fiero doesn’t believe that dragons and knights can be friends—or can they? A sweet tale of friendship and challenging stereotypes. Review: This book will delight little readers with its clever words and follow along actions. Each page involves the reader by having them follow actions and react to the story. I love how the words change size to emphasize areas and how the illustrations fit

Welcome to my stop on Partners in Crime Tours for Running on Empty: A Wine Country Cold Case.  I'm thrilled to be starting off the tour for this ex-FBI agent main character and I have a special guest post from the author as well. About the Book: This the second book in the series. An ex-FBI agent. A murder. And a Ponzi scheme that rocks the wine country. Anne McCormack, a former FBI agent-turned-estate liquidator, must find out who murdered a beautiful socialite and dumped her body on a remote wine country road 16 years earlier. Could that killing be connected to a current-day Ponzi scheme that has bilked Santa Rosa residents? McCormack thinks so and sets out to solve the case—but she'll have to keep her wits about her if she plans on outracing thieves and solving the murder without become a victim herself, for dark forces are working against her and she’s running out of people to trust. More from Karin My first Wine Country Cold Case book (THE LAST THING CLAIRE WANTED) had m

Kelcie Murphy and the Academy for the Unbreakable Arts is the first is a series of three books about a young girl who has magical powers but does not know it. A huge thank you to The Children's Book Review Tours and the author for my gifted copies of these books and a spot on this YA tour. I have a lot for you today including my thoughts on the series, a downloadable activity kit and a giveaway. Enjoy! Review: I love finding new YA series as my kids are in the YA reading age. As fans of Harry Potter, they would love this series. The books combine magic, Celtic mythology, and friendship. In the first book we are introduced to Kelcie, an orphan going on a school trip and we can tell right away something is going to happen with her. The first few chapters start the book out action packed and i was hooked right away. It has a Harry Potter vibe with a student unaware they have magical powers and reluctant to explore them. That is where the similarities end and the book takes on a life
