I've read better. Its nice for the novice, but the experienced, stay away.

I really liked this book. I like the idea that everyone is different and that we should all like being that way. It is a great lesson for kids who just want to be like everyone else. No one is really like everyone else, and everyone has something they would like to change.

Not bad. I liked the idea of using things you can find around your house and not needing to go and purchase expensive supplies.

This book is wonderful. Kids now do not seem to use their imagination like we were once mad to do. They expect to be entertained, instead of making their own entertainment. Sadie is all about being imaginative and making her own entertainment. She gets help from the books she reads, for the stories that she wants to live, fairy wings, or no.

I did like this story but I got off to a rough start. That was entirely my fault since I read book one in this series and Whiskey beach by Nora Roberts back to back and got my story lines mixed up. Simon is just another volunteer for Fast Rescue. Or so many think. Kiera is not just another artist who likes to illustrate fairies either. But she is the type who has trouble follower her.

It took a bit to build into this story. Based on the description I thought it would launch right into a rescue, and it didn't. But I love that it was not a damsel in distress. I enjoyed the title, but there was so much going it, it suffered a little from the second book slump. We shall see how #3 turns out.

If you are going to read this series you need to read all the books close together. The story lines, as well as the time lines all cross over. This story was supposed to be about Lizzie Rush and Will Davenport. Its suppose to be a romantic thriller, but you really do not get to delve into their story. You are still enmeshed in Abigail's and Keira's stories from the first two books. This is all well and good, but I fell almost everything that happened could have happened in the other story.

Abigail has been kidnapped by Norman who is running from the FBI. He wants to punish John March and Simon for their roll in his downfall. Lizzie has secretly been spying on Norman even though she is not a spy, just an adventurous hotelier. Will is still on his quest to help Simon and that includes looking after Keira, and meeting Lizzie at the same time.

Overall the story was okay, but very convoluted. It is almost too big for its britches, and I am kind of Happy there is only one left in the series. Hopefully this last title wraps everything up nice and neat.

This was a great book. I like that they have not just instructions on making wreaths, but also small and large center pieces, and swags. I really like how the book is broken down into materials for the wreaths and not strictly into seasons like many are. Great pictures in both the completed projects, but in the how to's as well.

Love, Love, Love, Love, Love! A simple but darling story about a home where everyone is welcome if everyone helps out.
