    What happens when hundreds of momfluencers get together together for a "friendly" style summit? What happens when one mom goes missing and no one seems to know anything about it? It comes down to her twin sister to find out. I loved this book. It was funny and tear jerking. It hit close to home many times as a mother myself. I really loved the way the sisters POVs were so different. One a mother and one not, the girls really experienced life differently at the point of the story being told and it comes through subtly, but brilliantly on the writing. It didn't take long in the book for me to be absolutely hooked. It was such a quick and easy read.

    Overall, I did enjoy this book. Most of the characters grew on me as the book went on, and by the end there was a few that a really loved. The story had a slow start. Then it got interesting. Then it got boring again. It picked back up around the 60% mark and that's when I couldn't stop thinking about it, and needed to know what was going to happen. I will be reading the next book, though possibly out of spite because of how it ended more so than needing more of their story.

    The fourth book in the A Magical Creature series by HDA PRATT, Spitfire and Ellamight are finally ready for their journey. Will they follow the path they've been set on, or will they accept new paths placed before them? This book felt like being in a dream. The magical creatures are so unique, and it feels like such a fresh original take on their origins. It was a slow build up to the action, but once it started I couldn't stop reading. I can't wait for he next book!

    This was such a fun story. Excellent for mid-grade readers. It's a quick read with a great lesson. The characters and story were so interesting that I didn't want to put it down.

    I absolutely loved this book. It dove into the action right away and stayed busy through pretty much the entire book. I loved the story. I loved the characters. I enjoyed the magic and the world building. I would love more stories from this universe and specifically Satya in the future. I definitely recommend reading this book.

    As a mother myself who also works with trees and has an affinity for the magic that is Mother Nature, I could be biased in my review on this book, but I don't think that's true. The memoir of Suzanne Simard is a beautiful story about using science to prove that we as humans don't know better than nature like we seem to think we do. Nature, like life, is about finding balance with what's around you and doing your best to overcome adversity, even when you can't see the outcome, by digging deep into your own inner strength while also accepting support from the people around you. This book made me laugh and cry. It made me enraged and hopeful. It's a story I've already shared with people I love and will continue to think and talk about as loud as I can for as long as I can. Thank you Suzanne for sharing all the ups and downs of your life and your research with us.

    Book 3 in the "A Magical Creature" series by HDA Pratt, is a duel POV that follows Nimfa, the Rock Troll Queen, and Master, on of the male Rock Trolls and a potential mate for Nimfa. Still on her quest to reunite all the species Tylimantrica, Nimfa must also make the choice which rock troll she will choose to help them continue their race, all while making a battle plan. This book was a bit longer than the other 2 books in the series. We've left novella territory and entered novel territory. I loved the story and considering the ending, I can't wait to find out with happens next.

    This fast paced read is book 2 in the "A Magical Creature" novella series by HDA PRATT. While Flighty (book 1) was a quest for self love, Nerdiver was a quest for a soulmate. I love that while the story of the forest as a whole is carrying on, we saw this next part from a different POV in order to get a separate piece of the puzzle. I'll be reading the next book to find out what happens.
