 A phenomenal collection of short stories. Each one talks about different challenges that women may face. Some of the challenges are infidelity, drug abuse, weight loss, and aging parents. This collection makes you realize that you are not alone. The characters are relatable and loveable. You even see some of the characters come together in other stories. I throughly enjoyed reading this book.

 Another amazing book in the Emma Griffin series. A.J. Rivers just keeps getting better and better. The many twists and turns kept me interested through the very end. I was sad it was over. I cannot wait to read the next one

 Another amazing side quest in the Awaken Online series. I used to think that the longer it took me to read a book, the less I liked it, but with this series I have realized it is the opposite. I take longer to read these books because of how much I enjoy them. I want to savor every last moment and I do not want them to end. I highly suggest giving this series a try. It just keeps getting better and better.

 Another amazing book by Stephen King. He has yet to disappoint me. He fills yet again another book with twists and turns. Full of emotions and heartache. I can't wait to read more of his.

 Stephen King does it again with Misery. It has a slightly different feel to it than the other books of his that I've read, but I loved it just the same. Full of twists and turns. I didn't want to put it down.

 Great tips for teachers, but each age group is going to be different and each situation is going to be different. Don't only rely on this advice. It would have been better if there were separate books for each age group and have more examples for different behaviors and reactions to those behaviors, but it gives a good start.

In this installment of the Tom Grant series, Tom and Isabella search for the three girls that are a part of Sweetpea. Two of them show up at James' door, which prompts Martha, Isabella, and James to beg Tom to work on the mission. Twists and turns occur and everyone ends up in danger. Can Tom save the girls and those he loves or is he way over his head? Find out in Lost Property.
I loved Lost Property just as much as the others. There were so many surprises that kept me guessing. I did not want to put it down. I really hope this one wasn't the final book in the series, because if it is, the cliffhanger at the end is going to be the death of me.

I did not want to put this book down. It is full of twists and turns. It is suspenseful and a page-turner. It is the second book of the Nena Knight series and it did not disappoint.

 Madison, a student, falls head over heels for Oliver, a professor. Their love is forbidden. Find out how their story unfolds in 'Because of Us".
If you are looking for a steamy, forbidden romance, look no further. I did not want to put this book down. It is a quick read and it left me wanting more. I cannot wait for Because of Her.
