Review: World Before (ARC) by Lindsey Pouge and Lindsey Fairleigh

Star Rating: 4/5 stars
Recommend: Yes
Final Thoughts: Excellent intro to characters

I received a copy of this book for an honest review by the wonderful Lindsey Pouge.
This is possibly the shortest review I have ever written. I absolutely enjoyed this novel. I felt as though I was able to connect with the characters better knowing their stories of Before.
I can't say if I have a favorite part and I do not intend to do any spoilers.

Again, shortest review ever!

Do I recommend? Yes, I recommend after completing the series.
Final thoughts: sobbing my eyes out and smiling like a girl who got her favorite treat





You can order World Before on Amazon for Kindle HERE or for Paperback HERE

Until next time my Dragons!

Review: The Jewel (Lone City #1) by Amy Fleming

Star Rating: 4/5 stars
Recommend: Yes
Final Thoughts: Distraught from cliffhanger

I got The Jewel on a whim during a buy two for one sale via Audible. Which is narrated by Erin Spencer. I read the reviews for the audiobook and got a lot of mixed reviews. A lot of people didn't enjoy the narrator's speech and way of narrating. They said she "constantly sounded as though she was complaining." However, I found it rather enjoyable. Erin was clear and simple. It felt as though she was the character, Violet.
My overall rating for the audiobook: 4/5 Stars.
My overall rating for the narrator: 4/5 Stars
My overall rating of the cover: 5/5 Stars. The cover is absolutely gorgeous. At first glance you'd be under the impression that The Jewel was apart of The Selection Series by Kiera Cass.
Below is my official review for the book.

Saying Goodbye is Hard

It's never easy to say goodbye. It's even harder when you have to say goodbye to someone you love.

I know I don't post a lot, but I won't be posting much on my social media. This week my husband and I have to get ready to travel to Tennessee, to officially say goodbye to my Papaw. Papaw passed away this past weekend and everyone is trying hard to hold it together. Papaw was one of those people, that he usually kept to himself and was quiet. However when he did speak, there was something to learn. He was highly respected in my family. Papaw didn't take no crap. He encouraged all of us, grandkids and parents, to chase our dreams.
My last conversation with Papaw, was just last week. I told him that Ashton was chasing a dream and he said that he wished Ashton luck. That he was proud for Ashton's choices. I told him how much I missed him. That I was glad he and Mamaw were going to Georgia. He told me not to work too hard. Which I try not too.
I never in my life, thought that that would be our last conversation. I was even planning on calling him again soon.

As I draw this post to a close, remember that family is more important than anything else.

Until next time, my dragons.

In Search of a Senior Thoroughbred

I am on a Facebook page and made a post trying to find a horse I owned. We were having a hard time getting the post to share, so I am putting it on my blog

This is a long shot. But I am hoping someone can help.
Back in 2010, My military family had to move to Alaska. Which meant I had to sell my horse. Ever since then I've been trying to find him. I sold him to a family and they had emailed me in 2011, saying they didn't want him anymore. Before I was able to work out details for a family friend to pick him up, they sold him. I know he might not be around anymore, I just want to know where he went and if he was happy. If he is still around, I would love to have him back. He was my best friend and it killed me to sell him.
I don't know his registered name, for it was changed before I got him. But his show name was Second Stride, we called him Strider. He's English trained, hunter/jumper.
He's a senior, black (bay during summer, he loved to be in the sun) thoroughbred gelding. Only marking is a small white star. He stands around 17-18 hh which was unusually tall for his breed. I sold him in the Fayetteville, NC area. The last time I heard of him, he was boarded at a small farm in Raeford, NC called Saddletree Farm (there are two in NC). The owner of the farm at the time was a German hunter/jumper named Melissa Carr. She came and rode him before the new owners bought him, to see how he was trained. She said he was perfect.

Zephyr and Reading Problems


Yesterday I was nervous and excited all day. Why? you ask? Well Simple, I was getting a new pet. Normal people get excited for a dog or a cat. But for me, I got a fish. Yup, that's correct. A fish.
After running to Wal-Mart, I was sorely disappointed. All the fish looked sick. Now I wanted a specific type of fish. Not a gold fish or a guppy. I wanted a Betta. I always loved betta fish. So, hubs and I went to petsmart and I found my fish!
Before the reveal, here is a short story of my first bettas.
Once upon a time I had 3 at once. 2 males and a female. I gave one male to my youngest brother (my oldest male betta). Then I kept the two reds. Shark and..... honestly, I never named the female. She was a little witch. One day, I came home from school to find that the female killed Shark, my gorgeous red male. I was so upset.
To be frank, I have no clue what happened to the female.
