Recommended for young children interested in science, sea creatures, ecology, Mister Seahorse is simple and fun enough to be understood and appreciated by most toddlers, but involved, detailed and busy enough to be enjoyed by slightly older children as well (up to and including ages five or six, perhaps even seven or eight). ![]() With a simple, informative text, combined with Eric Carle's magical, colourful illustrations (I love all of them, but I think my favourite is the depiction of the lion fish hiding among the coral reefs), this absolute gem of a picture book demonstrates in a fun, but educational manner that especially in the ocean, it is often the male of the species that hatches and watches over the eggs, the new generation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then there was the nurse who came across Kavorkian. Never once giving up hope, even if all that can be done is to offer a patient comfort until the very end. But the underlying theme I picked up on was HOPE. One nurse, for example, Angela from New York, used signification compassion in her care (as I am sure the majority do). some were rather tragic, but then there were some very humorous ones as well.Īs one who has been hospitalized dozens of times I felt as if I could relate to some of these nurses and their stories. nurse at the height of Covid in the ICU, a pediatric nurse or a flight nurse, these stories certainly evoked many emotions in me as I read. In any case, I found the book to be a quick, riveting read. I had this book as an audiobook ARC so I am not sure if the actual nurses dictated their own stories or if there was a series of narrators. As a person with empathic feelings I didn't know how I would be affected by these stories. James Patterson and his co-writers have brought together this compilation of over 50 E.R. ![]() ![]() ![]() So as you can imagine I will consume a book and move on never to return, this series of books however are the only ones I have gone back through multiple times. Miss Parker did well, as always.Įverything I read I remember, everything I hear I remember. ![]() It's taking me longer than usual to finish this one. As I read I'm taking away or adding stars. I suppose Sookie will eventually see the light and realize that she has been in love with Sam the whole time. I don't know, it's making Sam seem even more boring (maybe she should just keep him as a pet). So much so, that I still can't finish the book! The book begins with constant references to how good Sam is, how Sookie would like to brush his hair, how he defends her, helps her. Harris is laying the foundation for the Sookie-Sam relationship felt forced to me. ![]() Reading this is seeming more and more like homework. Harris put into this one! I love the southern vampire (sookie) series, but for some reason I can't really relate to Sookie in this one. So, I hate to be the bearer of bad news and I can only imagine the hours the Mrs. ![]() ![]() Then a surprise email from an old Internet friend changes everything. Brian isn’t thrilled with the arrangement-or his fake fiancée-but decides he’ll suffer through it if it means he’ll get an Oscar nomination.

It’s been almost a year since eighteen-year-old Ella Rodriguez was in a car accident that left her crippled, scarred, and without a mother. ![]() ![]() Add on the drowning information about vampires, werewolves, fae, etc., I feel like my brain is about to explode and I am barely, barely halfway through the first book. My hate comes in with the endless and I mean endless exposition of this world’s version of Chicago. On top of the fact their constant disagreements cause me to want to pop a bag of popcorn and watch the shenanigans ensue. Her and her sire Ethan’s banter and heated sexual tension (oh the tension). I already have a love-hate relationship with this series. ![]() ![]() ![]() I’m halfway through the series, but I want to touch base on the first two books then review the next two in the next couple days.
