Candleglow and Mistletoe
by Josie Riviera
Review written by HeidiLynn's BookReviews
First, I want to thank USA’s Best-Selling
Author Josie Rivera and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may
bring you this review.
USA’s Best-Selling Author Josie
Riviera’s Candlelight and Mistletoe cover immediately caught my attention as it looked
like a sweet Christmas card. Lately, all I have been wanting to read is
Christmas books seeing it is this time of year. Candleglow and Mistletoe read
like one of the amazing Christmas movies on Hallmark Channel that I love to
curl up and watch. In fact, I think it would be great as a movie on that
channel and highly suggest Josie Rivera submit her manuscript. They are seeking
unsolicited writers as of February 2019. She would be an amazing addition to
the Hallmark Channel Christmas movie lineup! I would watch it and I know her
fellow readers would too.

Review: #MeToo Essays About How and Why This Happened, What It Means and How to Make Sure it Never Happensby Lori Perkins

#ME TOO
Essays about How and Why This Happened, What it Means, and How to Make Sure it Never Happens Again
by Lori Perkins
Review written by HeidiLynn's BookReviews
First, I want to thank Perkins, Riverdale Avenue Books and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
#Me Too Essays about How and Why This Happens, What it means, and How to Make Sure it Never Happens Again edited by Lori Perkins cover of the book got my attention right away. It is incredibly powerful with three arms up different ethnicity showing that they stand together as one. This book is filled with incredible stories from incredible strong woman who are passionate about their fight in the #MeToo and #IBelieve Movement!! I stand beside them 10000%
I knew I had to read this book. I have read many memoirs on woman who were sexually abused this year. I commend those women for coming forward and sharing their stories. They are helping those who have been in similar situations seek help. I confess that I have had many #Me Too moments in my life. For me it makes me sad and angry the men that gets away with it.
#Me Too is dedicated to Anita Hill, Tarana Burke, Rose McGowan, all the woman that have bravely come forward, all those who won’t be silenced, and to the next generation who will not let this happen to them.
This book starts off with Lori Perkins reminiscing about how she had a totally out of place sexual behavior in the workplace. She was a publisher of the local newspaper in Upper Manhattan. Out of the blue a middle-aged local New York City politician asked if she would be his mistress!! Of course, she was shocked!! I would be too!
Lori put this book for everyone to tell their stories. She is hoping that this shows the beginning of this particular phase of this movement one that can be read and passed around as a reference when people look back on this time. These essays range from personal tales and reflection to cause for action and insider stories about abuse in Hollywood.
After #MeToo by A M Carley’s essay really spoke to me. AM brought up a great point in someone that sounded a lot like the famous Hugh. I never thought of him as a predator but now I do.
Wall Street Assets by Veronica Vera, D.H. S (Excerpt from her Memoir in progress) shouldn’t have shocked me seeing the subject matter. However, it did. Veronica’s first job was in 1969 in the back office. She worked with a short, loud-mouthed Napoleon that was the head trader for the company. He had a dirty mouth while he was on the phone. So, he asked her for her name in which she replied. Then he asked if she liked his material as he unzipped his fly!! There was a reason the called him “Crazy Sherman.”
This book is a must read for every female out there young and old!! This must be passed out in school libraries, counseling offices, workplaces, crisis centers, etc. Students need to be taught about this in health class in Middle or High School. This is a serious topic!! This is not going to go away anytime soon!! We need to come together and fight it!! #METOO #IBELIEVE

Review A Christmas Forest By Rebecca Boxall
#NetGalley
Author Rebecca Boxall
The Christmas Forest
By Rebecca Boxall
Review Written By
Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Rebecca
Boxall, Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for providing me this book so I may
bring you this review.
The Christmas Forest by Rebecca Boxall
is one of the few Christmas books that I have read that will stick close to my
heart. This Christmas story is unlike I have ever read before. I prefer reading
stories that are creative where the author thinks outside of the box. She did
just that. For this very reason I would gladly read and review for her again.
Rebecca Boxall’s main character is
Enid suffers from Asperger’s. What makes this book so unique and unforgettable is
you see the world through her eyes. You will see the joy she gets spending time
with children and speaking about her love of owls. How they are on the same level
she is. Sadly, in this book you will see her in panic mode and emotional lows
as well.
My ultimate favorite story line that
Rebecca did and needs to be highly commended for was the budding friendship
between Enid and Fred. I have read and 190 books this year. No two characters
deserved to be together more. Nor have I read a sweeter yet old fashioned love
story than this one. Fred looked past Enid’s Asperger’s and saw who she really
was. He loved her for her. These two were meant to be together.
It was refreshing to see Enid and
Fred write old school letters back and forth through the mail as form of
communication. This day in age with texting and email that is lost on this
generation.
Kudos to the graphic artist who
designed the cover it is beautiful! It immediately caught my eye and needed to
know what the book was about.
At the end of this book Rebecca does
give some references to Asperger’s. Many are documentaries and some books.
This book would be great turned into
a Hallmark Christmas Channel Movie. It has a lot of great elements to be a big
hit. I would definitely watch it!!
