Check out the fun I have for you today. First I have a recipe for Snickerdoodle Cookie Truffles that is sure to please and while you are waiting for them you can color! Today’s book recommendation is Color Me Mindful: Underwater by Anastasia Catris an adult coloring book. My daughter’s are in their twenties and love coloring but finding challenging books can be daunting…..this is one in a collection of coloring books that will have you digging out your crayons, colored pencils and markers.
Reawakened by Colleen Houck
Reawakened by Colleen Houck takes the reader on an adventurous quest from New York City to the tombs of Egypt. Wrapped in Egyptian mythology Awakened and its tale of good vs evil and forbidden romance will captivate listeners. While I struggled with aspects, I quite enjoyed the narrative voices of Phoebe Strole and Mark Deakins and this original fantasy.
Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho
Sorcerer to the Crown, by Zen Cho lured me with its promise of an alternate London, magic and Fae. Politics, prejudice and magic are central themes in this fantasy set against an alternate Regency England. Despite some issues, Sorcerer to the Crown with its dry humor and colorful character ended up making me smile.
The Night Sister by Jennifer McMahon
I have been in the mood for suspenseful reads and The Night Sister with its creepy vibe and paranormal elements/lores was just the perfect fix. Jennifer McMahon brings us to a rural town in Vermont and shares with us a dark, twisted tale after a horrific crime occurs. A suspenseful page-turner, The Night Sister hooked me from page one.
Magic Shifts by Ilona Andrews
Magic Shifts by Ilona Andrews is the eighth book in the Kate Daniels series. This is a series where the audio version is my preferred format in part because of Renée Raudman and her stellar performance. Admittedly, I was slightly worried after the events of Magic Breaks, but I should have known the Andrews had a plan. Intense and action-packed Kate and Curran face new challenges and old enemies giving listeners one heck of a ride.
