I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am admittedly not usually the reader who loves fantasy but I knew from reviews that I wanted to read When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley. The cover is eye-catching with the graphic of Benny and the merman. I loved the oceanic colors used for it. Benny is on his own in life after losing his aunt. He has come to America and is working as a blacksmith. Benny has difficulties with his breathing and being in an environment such as a metal shop really affects his health. Benny is a talented blacksmith and his art is noticed by the owner of one of the local amusement parks - Luna Park in Coney Island. Benny is hired to build a large tank for a new exhibit and isn't told of all the details. Benny finds himself becoming attached to the new exhibit - a real merman from the ocean. I loved Benny's compassion and moral struggles within himself and with the merman. The other characters in the book that make up the menagerie were also such a great group of characters to read about. My two favorite parts in this book were the illustrations and the storyline. The illustrations added to the story and worked together with the cover. I usually don't read much fantasy but this was such a good story. (from my Goodreads review)

This audio book was filled with great care for people wanting to heal prickly relationships. The points shared can extend to all relationships, not just partner ones.

This book is the sequel to Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods. In this book, Percy Jackson explains all about some of the heroes in different Greek Myths. Still with humor and sarcasm of course. Awesome read.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I have very recently read books one and three in Ms. Cambridge's An American in Paris mystery series and loved both. I especially love how the history and culture of Paris is so detailed in her books. Tabitha and Julia are the best pair of friends. Julia is teaching Tabitha how to cook and Tabitha helps Julia with her French. The two of them made me laugh thoroughout this book as well as the other two books. Tabitha has again decided to help with local murders when she witnesses them. I don't want to give anything away so won't list who is murdered. I especially enjoy how much she annoys the Inspector with her helpfulness in solving crimes, bringing clues to him, etc. An American in Paris Mystery series was fun to read as someone who loves mysteries and cozies. I also very much enjoyed learning more about the Paris catacombs, about how important wine was during the war and in Paris culture, all of the numerous cats that are in Paris and the Coke concern.

I love astrophysics, it's so interesting and fun!

Fascinating information regarding Apollo 11 Command Module Pilot Michael Collins

Fantastic book! The best I've read all year. Reid does such a good job making you care about the characters.
