Reflecting Gold

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: Reflecting Gold 📚

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
I am a huge fan of Civil War novels. After reading Pursuing Gold, I was eager to read Reflecting Gold. The backdrop of 1863 Chattanooga is written well by the author. C&R Bank is not just Peter’s responsibility. Mary Beth has inherited half of the bank from her father and the burden of the bank felt heavy to her. With his dad not with him, Peter begged wisdom from God many times.

After the recent burglary attempt and a gunshot at the bank, Peter and Mary Beth need to be extra careful. They are thinking about a reinforced door at the front. Having the bank robbed was the worst nightmare of Peter but being a banker he should be prepared for that possibility.

This book has drama, mystery, romance, war, etc. Mary Beth wanted pregnancy but Peter was focused on the bank. She doesn’t feel the love, compassion and care of Peter as it was before. Read this story to know what will happen. Will Peter be wise enough to keep the bank safe? Will their family extend as Mary Beth wishes?

I am delighted to read this story. The book is well paced. The narration is great. Even if someone doesn’t like historical fiction would love this book as it involves romance and banking angle too. I enjoyed binge reading this book.

A Dark Demise

𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸: A Darker Demise 📚
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: M. C. Ryder ✍️
.
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
A Darker Demise is a Compilation of Dark Shorts written by the author M. C. Ryder. A Unity of Balance, My Salvation, The Path to Redemption are all well written. However, my favorite from the collection is My Salvation.

It is Marc’s story, a dark short to the Darkest Side of the Moon. Marc was changed into a vampire against his will. Now, he wants revenge. He is waiting for the right moment and playing along till then.

Glenn was playing in the woods with the two girls. Jomar saw a girl marked by Dragon’s Eye. He sounded the alarm and gave a vague description of the girl. The mark is behind her right ear, has long brown hair, wears a red dress, and has a bold attitude. Vladimir is the maker and is in full control. The other vampires need to keep him happy. There is something special about the girl who is meant to take down Vladimir.

I love reading Vampire stories. Vampires are fascinating characters. These stories are dark and would send a chill down your spine. The title of the book is suitable. I enjoyed one story in one sitting. The author should write some romantic paranormal fiction stories like Twilight too.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“Outpourings: Musings, Woolgathering, & Ghosts, Volume II” written by CK Sobey is an interesting read. This book has Haiku reflections and Japanese-style poetry. In this book, the author invites readers to her inner chapel. She has shared her personal talks with her inner guidance that follows her through life.

“In my garden awaits a snake” is a gripping read. The author took the stroll through her garden to know what needs weeding and what needs nourishing. Suddenly she realized that she is growing older. She hopes to go more deeply into her well of understanding with grace and energy. The narrator feels the pull towards her call strongly today and she believes it’s her time for downloading what was waiting for her.

“Lingering Awhile” is another favorite from the book. Watching a field of grass blowing and mingling in the mind is a beautiful sight. At that moment, the author felt peaceful and still. She noticed her breath is so calm. She enjoyed being here and wishes to stay longer but she has to go.

Those who love poetry, prose, musings, etc should definitely get their hands on this book. This book is an outstanding and engaging read. This is Volume II of musings and one could read it standalone. I am glad to read the author’s words, thoughts and feelings about everyday life. It made me realize that I should spend a few moments of my day in a slow manner without rushing for anything. The calm, peace that would come would be something you would appreciate for sure. It’s a thought provoking read and you would have a great time reading this book.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Alpha Bette written by the author Jennifer Manocherian is a gripping story. The main character of the story is a ninety-five-year-old widow Bette Gartner. The story details the lives of Bette’s family and friends. Bette lost her husband George when he was one hundred years old. George went away on his birthday during COVID times.

Bette has outlived many of her family members. After her husband’s death, her daughter Claire insisted on having a full-time house help but Bette doesn’t like having someone at the house all the time. I could relate myself to Bette for this as I feel my freedom is lost if a househelp is around me all the time. Still, now she has Rosie and Venera to look after her.

The story has the backdrop of New York, one of my favorite cities. The story is fast paced and you won’t be bored anytime while reading this book. The cover photo of the book is nice and the title is suitable. I had a great time reading this book. This novel has characters of different ages. If you enjoy reading stories with many characters then get your hands on this book.

𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿: Peter Julius ✍️
.

🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“UNBREAKABLE!: Healing Your Heart After A Breakup..” by the author Peter Julius is an amazing workbook. Moving on after a breakup is really hard. Just a few months ago, I had a breakup and couldn’t function properly to my full potential for a few months because of the hurt, emptiness, etc.

Through this workbook, the author wants to guide readers to find self-love, resilience and personal growth while going through a heartache. The author has mentioned some tips at the beginning of the workbook and these tips really work. This workbook takes us on a 100 day healing journey. This workbook has various activities like writing about your personal desires, reading the quote of the day, practicing gratitude, etc. My favourite quote of the day is below:

“Kindness and respect define my relationships. I embrace only what uplifts my heart and soul”

The activities that are part of this book are fun too. Readers would be able to self-love more while doing these activities. We are not alone in our healing journey. By the end of this workbook, there are great chances that you will meet a better, happier and more healed version of yourself. Those who want to be healed should follow each day’s activities properly. This is a wonderful workbook and I appreciate the author for creating this workbook full of helpful content.

I strongly recommend this to those who want to begin their healing journey.
