Our Wild Farming Life by Lynn Cassells and Sandra Baer

Narrated by Lynn Cassells The most thrilling part of this book was the fact that I heard it on audio. One of the authors herself narrated it, and it was so full of feeling.There were quite a few repetitions that I would have been annoyed by if I was reading it in print, but since…

The Becoming (The Dragon Heart Legacy #2) by Nora Roberts

I have read and reviewed the previous work almost exactly one year ago: The Awakening (The Dragon Heart Legacy #1) . I am a big fan of all versions of the author's works, with only a few falling through. I was pleasantly surprised when I read the first book of this series since it had…
