Silver Bells at Moonglow Book Review

Silver Bells at Moonglow

By Deborah Garner

Christmas at the Timberton Hotel arrives each year with a unique set of guests, some returning, some new. When this holiday brings a celebrity seeking reprieve, sisters who are distant yet closer to each other than they think, a widow approaching a new horizon, and an eclectic smattering of local townsfolk and visiting relatives, the season is certain to be eventful. Add in a hint of romance and there's more than snow in the air around the small Montana town.

Elegant decor and exquisite cuisine from resident artist and chef, Mist, form a backdrop to much needed camaraderie, bringing strangers and friends together. When the last note of Christmas carols has faded away, the soft whisper of silver bells from the front door's wreath will usher guests and townsfolk alike back into the world with hope for the coming year.

...........................................................................

MY REVIEW

It’s another year at the Moonglow Café, inside the Timberton Hotel. Mist and Betty have everything ready for the hotel guests to enjoy their Christmas getaways. There’s the return of the regular guests, as well as a few new ones. Even though each new guest arrives with their own unresolved issues weighing them down, just as the returning guests have learned, they leave refreshed and invigorated. It’s the underlying magic of Mist that makes the stay so memorable and special.

If only I could find this quaint little town and hotel, I don’t think I’d ever leave, or at the very least I would be there every Christmas. I get just as excited as each of these characters do, and it’s so much fun getting to know them. Each time I read of Mist and the Moonglow Café, I feel the overall warmth, smell the smells, see the colors, well, you get the picture. I’m totally there.

Lucifer and Eva Book Review

Lucifer and Eva: Part 1 - 3

By Eric Zeigler

Lucifer and Eva Part 1-3

What if what we call good or evil were just different sides to a story? What if the things we fear weren't something to be feared? Let us start by telling the tale of Lucifer. He will journey to Hell, and defend Heaven. He will defy his father and save Heaven. He will fall in love with a demon, and create a new race. This is the story of Lucifer, and a demon named Eva.

...........................................................................

MY REVIEW

In the beginning, the universe was one planet. That planet was divided into heaven with its angels, and hell, full of devils. After an army of devils attacked and killed a group of angels, heaven erected a massive wall to keep hell’s devils out. But a devil named Eva escaped, causing trouble to angels and demons alike. When the demons came through a portal, Ehyeh, the high god, had his archangels fight them back. But after Ehyeh’s master plan is revealed, archangel Lucifer gets excommunicated from heaven. Before long, he and Eva meet up and join forces, and you won’t believe the outcome.

What a unique twist to the story of the fall of Lucifer. I could certainly believe it. In fact, I would be happy if it were true. It’s definitely a better story than what we believe to be the truth. Lucifer was a very likeable character. I felt sorry for the way things turned out for him. Mr. Zeigler has created totally different characters from what you would expect. I’ve never really liked reading books with stories about the gods, Odin being an example, but this one kept me interested. I guess it was mainly because of Lucifer’s part in it. I will gladly read the next story in this series.

Robyn Hood Outlaw Princess Review

Robyn Hood: Outlaw Princess

By John Reynolds

* A modern take on a classic story
* Robyn is transported back in time to Sherwood Forest
* Based on a full-length musical of the same name

Robyn Howard is a teenage schoolgirl. She lives with her father and her workaholic mother who always seems too busy for her. Robyn dreams of making a difference and wonders why there are so few famous women in history.

After her mother lets her down yet again, she finds herself having a really bad day at school, including quarelling with William, her boyfriend. There is a sudden violent lightning storm and Robyn is transported to a forest, dressed in medieval clothing and surrounded by young women who address her as Robyn Hood. She quickly realises that they regard her as the leader of their band — and that she’s in Sherwood Forest, about to launch a raid on King John and the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Robyn Hood: Outlaw Princess is based on a full-length musical of the same name for which the author wrote the storyline, dialogue and lyrics (music by Gary Daverne). The show has been widely performed in New Zealand, the UK and the USA.

...........................................................................

MY REVIEW

Robyn Howard was having a bad day. Her mother left on a business trip without telling her. Because of that, Robyn took her anger out on her father. Then she has a run-in with the school principal and got detention. And as if that wasn’t enough, she has a tiff with her new love interest. Could things get any worse? While in detention a freak thunderstorm comes through and somehow zaps Robyn to another dimension in which she is Robyn Hood, the leader of a ragtag group of women warriors living in Sherwood Forest. In time, she discovers that she is actually one of her own ancestors. It’s a good thing Robyn enjoyed learning history, especially her own. She just may be able to salvage this day after all.

This was a fun, quick read that I’m sure any teen would enjoy. Although it was too short to acquire any depth to the characters, it was still easy to glean some personality from a few of them. Robyn seemed to have a chip on her shoulder, and I think the story would have more value if that had been explored more. It would have rounded her character out more. As it was, I just felt like she was a spoiled brat. I hope this becomes a series because there were too many questions left unanswered.

Flying Geese and the Hope Dogs Review

Flying Geese and the Hope Dogs

By David Weiskircher

When you’re dying of breast cancer, you start to see, if you hadn’t before, what in life is truly important. You discard the unneeded and pull closer the needed. Some of those things might surprise others, but magically they give you the power to get through the day. They might seem fanciful and not at all practical. Yet, they’re the things you hold dear and, in fact, they become the things you desperately need.

David Weiskircher was his wife’s sole caregiver. They had friends and family and an excellent medical team, but they had something else, namely their dogs, specifically herding dogs. These dogs, to their heart and soul, define what is dedication and determination. They are shepherds in the truest sense. It also turns out they’re naturally-gifted caregivers.

Mr. Weiskircher stoked his wife’s hope by writing stories that featured her dearly-loved dogs. Despite the odds and setbacks, each story concluded with a feeling that hope had not only won in a given situation, but that it would win again.

After all that, the hope dogs weren’t done. Since his wife died, they’ve stepped even closer to Mr. Weiskircher’s side to help keep his head above the roiling waters of grief.

...........................................................................

MY REVIEW

This is a compilation of journal entries written by the author after his wife Genie was diagnosed with breast cancer. Having read several of Mr. Weiskircher’s books, I knew that this would be a very personal and depth-induced recount of their final days together. Even though the writings centered on Genie, they were more about each of the awe-inspiring dogs that entered her life during those trying times.

Although I never knew Genie, I feel like I lost a good friend too. It’s amazing how this writer can parlay such strong feelings that rock you to the core. I could feel so much love in that family. I feel they all came together almost supernaturally. I don’t know about reincarnation, but I do know that when soul mates meet, they instinctually connect. This wasn’t just husband and wife, but also several fur babies, who were somehow connected by the universe, and through astronomical odds, found each other in one short lifetime.

I want to thank Mr. Weiskircher for sharing such a personal and intimate part of his life. There are so many things about this book that I could point out, the feelings it induced, but you would be reading for quite a while. I’ll just say, I feel richer for having read it.
