""Submitting to censorship is to enter the seductive world of 'The Giver': the world where there are no bad words and no bad deeds. But it is also the world where choice has been taken away and reality distorted. And that is the most dangerous world of all."

Not for me.
This book just didn't sit well with me. It was just so overwhelming maudlin, like a Lifetime made for television movie where women hate women. This story had over the top negatives, and no where near enough positives.
I also want to add that the editing for this was pretty bad. There were repeated dialog, and miss spelled words. It surprised me with this being from a large publishing group.

Redbird Fires
This book was like a cup of cocoa on a cold day. Warm, sweet, and perfect to curl up on the couch with.
Find the full review with fun links at my MLE and my blog.Warning: This review will contain spoilers.First off I want to say that I am trying my hardest not to just squeeee and gush about this book. I will probably fail cause this book was just that good, I just want to point out that I am trying.This series has easily become one of my top ten favorites, it's a series that I drop all other titles I am reading to pick up the new installment. Possibly to read the whole series again. These books make me happy, and I just want to shout out to the book world that you really need to read them...really...please...I want people to talk about them with!Okaaaay, to the book at hand...Fairies in My Fireplace is book three in the Monster Haven series. We start off not too long after Pooka ended. Zoey and the gang are exhausted with the hidden coming to her in droves. Something, or someone in the world is hunting the hidden, and Zoey as the last Aegis is the only refuge. That is until it comes to town and strikes in her backyard.There is a ring of Hidden trafficking, and they have one of her own.This is all I want to say about the main plot like cause it was just so well done, so connected to the first two books that it was pure joy to read. There were a few new characters in this, and I hope a few stick around for the novels to follow. Kam, how I love you, with your Pat Benatar outfit, exuberant nature, and constant failures to do housework. (Poor, poor Maurice). The prom dress scene was just so much awesome, it had me giggling like a fool.Now I want to warn you about the ending. My heart, it was just so much. The feels. There were many. So, so many.I loved it, and I really hope my friends with too!
I love MLP, but I found this sorely lacking. The art was fuzzy, and unclear which drove me crazy. I liked the first story, the moral was very sweet.

Lazy Sundays
Who doesn’t enjoy a lazy Sunday, this story is just perfect for one. Klein did a great job in pacing this story to keep your interest and the drama wasn’t too over the top. I did find that Scott was a bit much with his insecurities at times, and I would have liked to have more face time with his family and why he was the way he was. The drama that was, was well played and logical (see what I did there). I liked how even though both men were on different ends of a spectrum they both has insecurities that make sense.I also want to add that for a free book the editing was awesome, I only stumbled over a very few mistakes. The only one that comes to mind is a spacing issue. I have seen worse in published books, so good job beta crew!All in all this was a good read, you can’t beat the price.
The Healing of Idrys
