Book Review: Jade and the Tooth Fairy by Jacinta Zachariah

 
About the Book:

A magical tale about a little girl called Jade who stays up to meet the Tooth Fairy and goes to fairyland with her. She is also in for a pleasant surprise when she finds out what happens to all the teeth the Tooth Fairy takes!

My thoughts about the book:

Jade and the Tooth Fairy is a delightful childrens book. It written with such charm and imagaination. I had never thought of what the tooth fairy does with the teeth after she collects them. The illustartions look hand drawn and add to the uniqueness of the story. I highly reommend this book for any child about 5-6 who is courious about the tooth fairy.

Book Review: Bread and Wine by Shauna Niequist

I received a free copy of this book/Ebook/Product to review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC Regulations. I am a part of Handlebar Publishing. 
 

About the Book:
 As a follow up to her two-bestselling books, Bittersweet and Cold Tangerines, author and blogger Shauna Niequist returns with the perfect read for those who love food and value the community and connection of family and friends around the table.

Bread & Wine is a collection of essays about family relationships, friendships, and the meals that bring us together. This mix of Anne Lamott and Barefoot Contessa is a funny, honest, and vulnerable spiritual memoir. Bread & Wine is a celebration of food shared, reminding readers of the joy found in a life around the table. It's about the ways God teaches and nourishes people as they nourish the people around them. It's about hunger, both physical and otherwise, and the connections between the two.

With wonderful recipes included, from Bacon-Wrapped Dates to Mango Chicken Curry to Blueberry Crisp, readers will be able to recreate the comforting and satisfying meals that come to life in Bread & Wine

My Thoughts about the Book
This book was a delight to read. It was the perfect combination of two of my favorite things; cooking and writing. Shauna writes about relationships and how food and eating around the table helps to strengthen and enhance these relationships. I love how Shauna is open and honest about her journey. I felt like I was there with her throughout the book whether it was when she was learning how to cook or when she talks about her struggles with infertility.  I love how she ties each chapter around a theme and ties in a recipe with the theme. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves family, friends and food!

What to write....

If I was given a book deal , what would I write about?....

1. A Humorous Autobiography-My adventures good, bad, ugly and embarrassing of  teaching. The heroine of the book would be a cross between Amelia Bedelia and Viola Swamp. 

2. A children's book. This book would be about a group of animals and what childhood would be like for them. The animals would be similar to humans in that they could talk, think, reason, go to school, etc like humans.

3. A  Children's book. It would be about Dachshunds. Doxies act like people (at least mine does) so why not write a book about her. She seems to have a propensity for trouble and think her adventures would keep children entertained.
