A Curious Place by Barbara Woodward

This is another experimental book that I had on my list for far too long and I should have gotten to sooner, especially since it was a morsel of a book for an adult. This is a fun set of fiction for children with the predominant focus being on kindness to animals and other people.…

Five Minutes at Hotel Stormcove – An Anthology

I am not usually a big fan of short stories. It feels as though they have leave me adrift. There is no closure with what happens to the people involved, at least that's all I had felt  before i stumbled on this book. I also have not had much luck with reading authors with awards…
