 Made by Dana Carey Hi Everyone! Happy February, the love month! I'm participating in my writer friend's, Carrie Finison's Book Love Blog Hop. We want to share some love of books by leaving reviews on web sites or social media. Here's what Carrie has to say: "It’s a tough world out there for books and their authors. They need our support now more than ever. So this month, we’re playing Cupid for a while and spreading some BOOK LOVE around by setting aside a few minutes to give more public support to some of the books we’ve enjoyed recently – and tagging some reader friends to do the same! Do you want to play Cupid with me? Here’s how the hop works: BOOK LOVE Blog Hop Instructions 1. Pick some books you love (any genre) that you think deserve more attention than they are getting. (As much as I love The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Eric Carle does not need my help to sell more copies! I’ve tried to choose books I thought needed a little boost, or ones I love that no one else seems to have heard of.) 2. Post reviews for the books you chose on Amazon/social media. The reviews can be brief – even a short review on Amazon helps. Posting on Goodreads or Shelfari is great, too, or Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, etc. The more places you can publicly proclaim your love, the better! 3. If you want, you can also post the reviews on your own blog, or link your blog back to your reviews on social media. 4. Feel free to display the BOOK LOVE badge on your blog – and if you want, link it back to this post so your visitors know what it’s all about." It was created by Dana Carey, another writer friend. Here are the books I'm leaving reviews for.  The Story Catcher by Donna Martin published by Anaiah Press, January 2015. This is a debut book for my writer friend, Donna Martin! A whimsical picture book, perfect for those who are interested in and for those just learning how to read. How can little ones catch the words and make them behave so they can read the story? Check my review on amazon.  The Tree Lady: The True Story of How One Tree-Loving Woman Changed a City Forever by H. Joseph Hopkins, published by Beach Lane Books, Sept. 2013 I love picture book biographies, and this one doesn't disappoint. Find out how one woman changed the landscape of San Diego by planting trees! Kate Sessions had many firsts in her life, an inspirational read, especially for girls.  Red Kite, Blue Kite by Ji-li Jiang, published by Disney-Hyperion, 2013 This is a touching story of a boy and his father who love to fly kites. But when his father is taken away to a labor camp during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, the kites become a way for them to communicate. A beautiful, lyrical read for picture book lovers! I am tagging the following Cupids to continue the blog hop:

Wow, you chose some inspiring books. The tree book especially interests me...sort of like a Miss Rumphius except for trees? I can't wait to check all these out. 7/10/2025 05:18:39 am
The phrase “publish my book” refers to an author’s search for a platform or company to turn their manuscript into a published title, whether through traditional or self-publishing routes. 7/10/2025 11:33:18 pm

Being the winner of a multi-million-dollar lottery certainly is a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts and I want to use this medium to tell you how I became the famous Powerball lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Dr. Odunga would make me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Chief Dr. Odunga at Email: [email protected] and WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top Leave a Reply. |
