I like the book because of the way Harry Potter going on the adventure to kill Lord Voldemort (I think), and also because of the adventure, mystery, and fantasy.

This is the first in the series that I read. Usually, I like to read from the beginning, but I was able to enjoy this immensely. I love period books with characters who are feminist and this author described these two sisters well - strong, supporting each other, and not married! Wow! They go around helping others. We need more books like this.

First time reading this author's work and although it was a pleasurable story, it was more like a light summer read to me. The premise is that Veronica found out that she was adopted through a DNA test kit given to her by her sister for Christmas. She suspected as such since her high school years but never spoke of it until now. Her adopted family thought it would be good to visit the countries that she was related to and her father paid for a trip arranged by her sister to Ireland, France Italy and Denmark. There are elements of fantasy throughout which you had to go with, but it was a very predictable story . I will rate it 3 stars, but I think the author could have made the book more interesting by giving more background on the characters and on Veronica's relationship with Jonathan previous to her trip.

This book was so funny and I loved how the plot was set up and how interesting this graphic novel was!

this book was alright. I don’t really love sports, so it’s not really my thing. I also don’t like the “I have to balance cooking and basketball, but I have to pick one,” blah, blah, blah.

This book is kind of ridiculous and dumb, but that’s exactly why I like it. It was a little simple, but nice.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am a fan of Ms. Wiseman's writing - specifically, all the research she does to write her books. I did not know much about the coal industry at all. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of it after reading Coal River. I love historical books because I like to learn while I read. Emma is a young woman who once lived in Coal River. She's vowed to never return for very good reason. After becoming an orphan years later, she finds herself back in Coal River at her Uncle Otis' home. He is the local coal mine owner and a brutal, harsh man. Her Aunt Ida only wants Emma in the home to provide free maid duties. Emma has a past history with her cousin Percy and is not happy to live in their home. Emma has maid duties as well as store clerk duties in the coal mine's general store. She begins to learn about the coal mine and how its employees are treated. Most upsetting to her is how young the breaker boys are and how dangerous their jobs are. I don't give away spoilers so I'll just say this was a spectacular, emotional read that is so well written. I was often sad while reading it, but also found a lot of hope in Emma. (from my Goodreads review)

A mix of short tales of fantasy. Magical and delightful to read each story. Love, rivalry, and magical tales that keep you entertained and wanting more!

Delicious book with beautiful photos and informative nutrition and diet.

Good book with a plot twist I did not see coming. Not creepy or scary but engaging and interesting.
