The Dream Daughter: A Novel

By: Diane Chamberlain

Rating: 4 of 5

I have read only a few of Diane Chamberlain’s books and have enjoyed each of them. However, the beginning of “The Dream Daughter” contained enough technological and social anachronisms in a certain time period, it threw me off while reading the novel.

Once the author got beyond her descriptions of that time period and concentrated more on the story, I was able to settle in and enjoy the book for the fantasy escape feel-good novel that it is.

It is rather difficult to review this book with contextual reference without giving away quite a bit of the plot. Suffice to say that Carly, the main character would do anything to save and then help her daughter.

Susie’s Whimsical Halloween Coloring Book For All Ages

By: Susie Scott

Rating: 5 of 5

This is my second Susie Scott coloring book (the first being her Christmas book I reviewed last year.) Her designs are fun and innovative and very cute as well. I hadn’t found what I considered a great Halloween coloring book this year until I came across this one. This is not a scary book and could be fun for a younger colorer to work on. It is also great for adults as well.

I see that she released both of these books last year and, at this point, doesn’t seem to have released any more. I enjoy her designs so much, I hope she does do more books as I would certainly buy them.

The designs have detail but are not difficult to color. Each of the designs have a framing line though a few have finished elements that extend slightly further over the line. It gives the design a dimensional look that is cute and different.
