Good mystery debut with believable characters

A Beeline to Murder (A Henny Penny Farmette Mystery)

By: Meera Lester

Rating: 5 of 5

61S4MJ+wUpL._SX327_BO1,204,203,200_This was a really fun and interesting debut of a new mystery series. After read the book, I discovered that the author had written a number of other books but this is apparently her first mystery – which was surprising because it was so well written. Also, she knows what she is talking about with regards to working a farmette. She and her husband have one in the general Northern California area that this book is set in. I visited her Henny Penny website and enjoyed reading about it.

Lovely big coloring book filled with gorgeous designs

Calming Therapy: An Anti-Stress Coloring Book

By: Hannah Davies

Rating: 5 of 5

This is a really lovely book of eclectic designs the intent is for the designs to have a calming effect on the colorist. I must admit I was more excited than calm when I first looked through the book. The book is divided into two sections. The first (and larger portion of the book) is for coloring. These designs have a great deal of detail and will be fun to sit and color. The second part of the book is for doodling. The designs are purposefully left open so that you can finish them as you wish. This should also be a lot of fun when I am in the mood to doodle and draw rather than color. Both sections of the book cover a wide range of designs lots of animals, plants, flowers, buildings, etc. There is such a wide range of designs, there will always be one sure to fit my mood of the day.

Another great book of Doodles by Kathy Ahrens

Zany Zendoodles Coloring Book: To Calm The Soul (Creative Coloring)

By: Kathleen G. Ahrens

Rating: 5 of 5

This is my second book of Kathy Ahrens’ Doodle style designs. The first is her book published by Creative Haven Dream Doodles which I liked so well, I went looking for other books she had done in the past. Zany Zendoodles is a self-published book via CreateSpace, so the quality of the physical page is not up to that of Creative Haven, however, the designs are every bit as wonderful.

The book has 30 hand-drawn doodle designs, including one with an owl, a peace sign, butterfly, a lovely young woman peeking through her long hair, flowers and many many more.
