Forget Me Knot (A Quilting Mystery)

By: Mary Marks

Rating: 4.5 of 5

forgetmeknot“Forget Me Knot” is the first book I have read by Mary Marks and it is the first in her series of Quilting Mysteries. It was a really good first book. I just wish the author had stepped off the political soapbox as it probably offended some readers early enough in the book that they put it down and didn’t finish it. That is a real shame as the story, plot, and characters made the book a really worthwhile read. This is the primary reason I rate it 4.5 instead of a solid 5.

Creative Haven Amazon Animals: A Coloring Book with a Hidden Picture Twist (Adult Coloring)

By: Jan Sovak

Rating: 5 of 5

This is an interesting set of 28 Amazon animal and insect designs which include one or more hidden images within each design. The designs are by artist Jan Sovak. Be aware that a couple of the designs show animals about to pounce on their prey (other animals) and that it might be disturbing to some individuals. There is also one design which includes a human which seems a little out of place but it is well drawn and should be interesting to color.

At the front of the book, there is a listing of which hidden design features are included and how many of them are spread throughout the book. At the back of the book, there is a key which shows which elements are in each design and where they are located. I would list the hidden elements but I think that would take away the fun of looking for them while you are coloring.
