The Dragons of Chiril Review


I really enjoyed reading The Dragons of Chiril. I am a huge fan of fantasy books. This book is full of adventure! It kept me wanting to read more, even though it is meant to be a children's book. LOL.


The book is about Tipper. Tipper has been caring for her family's estate ever since her father disappeared. She has been making money from selling his famous artwork. After selling three statues, she learns that they were carved from an ancient foundation stone and that her reality is falling apart!


She must free her father in order to save the world, but can't do it alone.


She puts together a band of adventurers: Beccaroon (a giant parrot), Bealomondore (an aristocratic young artist), a handsome dragonkeeper prince, the Wizard Fenworth, and the tumanhofer librarian Librettowit.


This band of adventurers travel through valleys and kingdoms, deal with all sorts of good and evil to reunite the missing statues.


I could not stop reading this book! I had to find out if she was going to find her father and save her world! It is a must read, not only for children but for young adults too! 





I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

Book Review: Divine Appointments

I received Divine Appointments by Charlene Ann Baumbich from Blogging For Books a few months ago. I have read a little bit of this book everyday. I just finished it and I must say Wow! It was a touching book.

About Divine Appointments:
Josie Brooks, at the age of 47, thought she was leading an enviable single life. A successful consultant, she calls her own shots, goes where the money is, and never needs to compromise. But her precisely managed world begins to falter during a Chicago contract when an economic downturn, a bleeding heart boss, and the loyalty and kindness between endangered employees ding her coat of armor.


Throw in hot flashes, a dose of loneliness, a peculiar longing for intimacy, an unquenchable thirst—not to mention a mysterious snowglobe with a serene landscape, complete with a flowing river and lush greenery that seems to be beckoning her in—and Josie’s buttoned-up life is on the verge of coming completely undone. Maybe her solitary existence isn’t as fulfilling as she has convinced herself to believe.


It will take a few new friends, a mystical encounter, and an unexpected journey to set Josie on her own path to “right-sizing” and making the life changes that really matter. Filled with laugh-out loud moments and a gentle dash of inspiration, Divine Appointments is another heartwarming charmer from a master storyteller.

My first thoughts was "Was I really going to like this book?" It seemed aimed for an "older" audience but boy was I wrong. The more I readed into this book the more I connected with Josie. It was a heart touching story and kept me guessing what was going to happen. I recommend reading this book.
