I had the pleasure of receiving a free copy in order to review a new techno thriller book titled 'Too Much Information' by David Haskell. I haven't been able to read much over the last year since the twins were born. I can also be so indecisive when trying to decide what book to read when I actually get the chance, so when an opportunity comes up to read a new book by a new author, I will jump at the chance to check them out. This time I was pleasantly surprised.

I have always enjoyed the techno thriller genre and David Haskell does not disappoint. What do we do when technology advances faster than we are ready to accept? How can we live in a world where security practices start to cross that fine line between being "for the greater good" and alienating the basic privacy rights of the masses? 'Too Much Information' paints an exciting and believable picture.

David Haskell's writing is similar to the style of Michael Crichton. I love the way David can take seemingly random and unrelated characters, get you hooked on each one and then slowly weave them all together. I enjoyed this new book very much.

Haven: A Stranger Magic - Book Review

<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP69170bbd70059a32811e01ee0ef70459"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

I was lucky enough to be picked to receive, read and review two books by the new up and coming author D.C. Akers. I finished and reviewed the first book just last week. It was originally published back in 2010 and I enjoyed it. Then, I moved onto his next book, Haven: A Stranger Magic, that was released this year. Wow! What a difference a couple of years makes.

I am beyond satisfied with this book. After reading and becoming completely hooked on both the Harry Potter and Twilight series, I am rarely completely happy after reading a new book. I have gone so far as to reread each of those series almost seven times each. My husband thinks this is silly, funny...and hopefully a tiny bit endearing, as I will surely read them at least that many more times in my lifetime. I truly feel, and am predicting here in writing, that Haven is going to be the next big thing when it comes to young adult fiction. I finally have a new series to look forward to, with ants in my pants, anxious for the next book to come out.

Haven: A Stranger Magic begins the tale of two average teens stumbling upon the extraordinary. Not only is the story the beginning of an exciting new adventure, but D.C. Akers captures the tone of family life, sibling squabbles and being a thirteen year old kid in general perfectly. I will not spoil it for you but I will warn you that this book is going to go too fast and you will, like me, be counting down the days until book two, Haven: Revenge of the Viper, can be in your hands, curled up on the couch, ready to dig into. Happy reading!

P.S. ... D.C., keep that phone in your pocket because I see a movie deal in your future.

Terra Vonnel & the Skulls of Aries: Book Review

<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP1e6e61fcc531d15ed6b53cbd6731cc87"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

Terra Vonnel & The Skulls of Aries is a novella written by D.C. Akers. It is about a precocious young female pirate, holding her own in a world full of violence and men. She is determined and driven, not allowing a single obstacle to stand in her way. This book would be a great addition to the library of any young adult reader in your world.

I would rate this book PG-13 for the violence, but it is not gore and no worse than a typical teen video game. It was a quick read for me: an hour and a half at most. Reading it was like eating a piece of hard candy. Delicious at first and half way through you chew it right up and suddenly it is all gone, leaving you wanting another piece. I would be excited to see this as a young adult series and the adventures that Terra could encounter in the future.

All Bears Need Love: Book Review

I actually won something! I was tickled that I did and when I told my three year old daughter that I had won her a new book, she was tickled too. It is titled All Bears Need Love, By: Tanya Valentine. Daphne looked forward to the mail everyday until it arrived. Adorable.

All Bears Need Love, By: Tanya Valentine

We, of course, had to read it right away. Daphne has a thing for bears, so it was pretty perfect. It is a very touching story that all children will love. It is so simply put and yet deeply moving to an adult, like myself, at the same time. I must admit that the last page gave me goosebumps on my arms. I love when something beautiful makes that happen; a song or a voice, a special moment in a movie or even a darling childrens' book. Daphne has had me read it to her every night before bed since it arrived.

I won't give the story away. I will say, from what I have read, that the author wrote this book after adopting her son. Following the adoption, there were so many questions and opinions thrown her way, by so many different people, that this book was her answer, both to her beautiful son and to the rest of the world. Knowing this makes the book that much more special to me.

I have not adopted a child, but I have always thought about it. Now that I have five children and a husband who was raised as an only child, I probably won't. But, I wouldn't say never...just yet. (Although, I would love to be a fly on the wall to see my hubby's face when he reads that part. Ha!) I remember when I was pregnant with my second child, all those years ago, thinking and worrying about how I could possibly love another child nearly as much as I loved my oldest son. I was scared about having to share my love and that I did not want either of my babies to suffer or feel like there was not enough love to go around. I soon learned that those fears were just plain silly. My heart has expanded to encompass all of my children, none more or less than the others. My love has grown by leaps and bounds with each new addition to our family. All my bears are loved.

I hope you get a chance to check out this great new book. There are many places you can pick up a copy for a child in your world.
