Saturday Morning for Kids: Archibald Finch and the Lost Witches #BookReview #Fantasy #MG @AndrewsMcMeel @ArchibaldFinch

This meme was started by Rae Longest at Powerful Women Readers. As I am a grandmother, who loves to read to her grandchildren, a mother who loved to read to and with her children, and a retired teacher librarian, this meme really attracted me.

Audiobook Mini-Reviews: Make a Wish, Saint, & Cheddar Late Than Never #BookReview #Audibook @MacmillanAudio @Dreamscapeaudio

Over the last few weeks, I have listened to several audiobooks. Each of them are very different, but all are enjoyable. There is some romance in each of them, some more than others. All are available now in various formats.

YA Mini-Reviews: The Drowned Woods, Enola Holmes and the Elegant Escapade #BookReview #Audiobook #2022AudiobookChallenge

Over the last few weeks, I did read/listens for a couple of YA books that I very much enjoyed. The Drowned Woods is a dark fairytale/fantasy/folklore story from Wales and Enola Holmes and the Elegant Escapade is a mystery/adventure story. I recommend them both.

The Forest Tales Series: Saving Vengeance, Desperate Forest, The Jabberwocky Princess #BookReview

I have to thank Julie over at One Book More for introducing me to this series. You can visit her blog to read her thoughts. There are still two more books I need to read, but I will get to them shortly. I enjoyed this novella and the first two full length books in this series. They are all available on Kindle Unlimited if you have that service.

Two Fantasy Audiobooks: A Far Wilder Magic, Everworld #BookReview #Audiobook #2022AudiobookChallenge

I don’t read a lot of fantasy, but both the covers and the synopsis of these YA stories called to me. I did read/listens with both of them and very much enjoyed both of these books. If you enjoy a descriptive story, without all the violence that is often in fantasy stories, then pick these two up.

Never After – Where Real Life and Fairytales Collide #BookReview #MiddleGrades #Audiobook @MacmillanAudio @MelissadelaCruz

I just read and listened to the first two books in the Chronicles of Never After series and enjoyed them. They are geared to middle grades, but can be read by anyone who enjoys a reimagined fairytale, but the plots and language are simpler than others I have read. I was a huge fan of the television series, Once Upon a Time and thought this series had some similarities, especially finding out the stories were not always true, or there was more to them than what was in the book.
