My Review: 3 stars

This book made me thought and reflect about life the grey almost shadowy cover that made it looked like a memory, its magazine like pages,the content that's unique on its own dated back and forth through her childhood.Indeed it's very painful when you lose someone very dear to you it seems like your world stopped but in reality the world don't stop for anyone you have to move on and go on with your life it's hard but you'll get by.I like how every poem made its point or simply just conveying raw emotions at the moment page 49 titled Questions strikes me the most along with page 19,like a leaf and 41,the written word I can relate to some of it,imagined most,saw what it's like,empathizes with the whole content this made me reassess everything about me and other stuff I guess through this experiences will make us stronger and more determined in life.Thank you so much Sonya for sharing your story.

Exciting Post Day! (EPD)

My Review: 4.5 stars

Simple,cute and heartwarming quick read.Readers of all ages would enjoy reading this story picture book.The title definitely suits the story,the frame which surrounds the title is elegantly drawn,the font and size of the letters are easy in the eyes I like the illustrations the mushroom field setting in which I thought about Alice in Wonderland  is quite magical  I immediately dive in to that world and BY JOVE! that's the biggest firefly I ever saw O_O I mean like humongous! :O

The outline of the story is very relateable which is being lost that I believe most of us experience in life and sometimes finding a way out is no easy task.The moral lesson is pretty much laid out in a very straightforward in your face matter of fact manner whether you're down,lost/troubled try to smile,be optimistic and look at the bright side of things.A smile from you might find its way to others and ignite something within I enjoyed reading this book up to the last page though there's something quite lacking, a bit short and I'd like to explore more of the fantasy world and let the characters build and develop even more but all is well quite an ending.I kinda miss reading this sort of books these things and kids always reminds me the simple joys in life that I often forgot along the way sad but true.Anyway, don't forget to Follow Brightest at Facebook, along with Isshin Dream Publishing learn more about them through their Website, Twitter, Youtube, Facebook and Goodreads Account ^_^ you can also purchase a copy from Kcat Yarza.




My thoughts about the book trailer:
The song reminds me of this television show my brother and I used watch growing up "Hiraya manawari' (though the opening theme is different from this one but this got some sort of effect in me) it's very fascinating,there are different story being showcased every episode and it's full of moral lessons.I think it's really nice to let kids watch those kind of shows in which I think is running short these days that will teach kids good manners and right conduct.This also brought back some of my gamer days the song is really quite nostalgic I love it! I think it's the perfect choice as a background music,the transition of the slides,the way the book is presented is very nice and pleasing a great way to spread the hype.

I'd like to thank everybody behind this fantastic book good job guys! keep it up I can't wait to read more of your brilliant masterpiece.

The place is really jampack it's tough to find a parking space,there's lots of people walking into the streets that are parked elsewhere,longer lines than ever all in all I regret nothing I'm happy,were happy,everybody's happy it's an awesome day!there are really some awesome early bird specials,great deals,good finds but the lines are just so....ugh perhaps next time lol :))

My Review:  3 Stars
I like the book cover it has this very dark set into it as if she's planning something evil that just kinda pulls and attracts you over...very beautiful and I love the overall presentation of this picture story book,the photographs are very well executed,modern,innovative,high end fashion I enjoyed reading and browsing each piece.A very short fun read and it's really nice to see all these overflowing creativity and incorporation of art,fashion and literature at the same time but story wise not so much I understand the concept and all that but there are some details that are quite vague and lacking when it comes to character building and development as far as the story goes though I think Dries is really sweet and thoughtful.Eva's beautiful,tried her best to be human enough,blend in the crowd inspite being a vampire.A very peculiar bond is formed between the two.I don't like the ending though the gesture was quite peaceful and sweet.Readers of all ages will enjoy and learn some things from their tale.
