The Rise of the Maccabees: A Historical Novel (Lions of Judea Book 1)


If you like historic stories, then I am sure you will enjoy this book. There is combat scenes, a love story, and the religious background to this book. The author helps you know who the characters are.

Here is what Amazon said about the book, "When one falls The other rises… Jerusalem, 180 BCE. For 800 years the Zadokite priesthood has led the Jewish People. But the world is changing. Without, Rome is rising, crushing the other powers of the ancient world beneath it. Within, a power struggle inside the House of Zadok is a golden opportunity for interlopers, who seek to unseat them from the throne. The delicate balance which has allowed the Jewish Nation to survive in this age of Empires is threatened. On the background of these tumultuous times, Judah, scion of a minor priestly lineage, comes of age in Judea. While experiencing love, friendship, and conflict he slowly transforms into the warrior and leader his people are waiting for. This is the incredible story of Matityahu the Priest, Judah Maccabee and his brothers, and the Hellenizer Eupolemus. Together, they embark on a struggle for the survival of the Jewish people against the powerful Seleucid Empire."

Ruled By Tainted Blood

I finished reading another awesome book by Michael J. Allen called Ruled by Tainted Blood. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and I can't wait to read another story from Michael.

This book grabs your attention right off the bat by pulling you into a beautifully sculpted and fascinating story. The book pulled me into it from the very beginning, and I didn't want to put it down once I started. Michael has a way of making you feel like one of the characters at times and at other times you are seeing the scene unfold from outside the character.

Here is what Amazon says about this story,"Heartache Can Pave the Darkest Paths... All was well until our new water phoenix came. Aquaylae brought the faerie war to Atlanta’s streets. She’s is an agent of chaos, and she needs to be destroyed. I’ve found a way to make it right. A whisper from the past offers hope, but at a cost few others are willing to pay. To reclaim order, I must embrace madness. I must pollute my being with faerie essence and usurp their magic. I alone am suited to wield such power—the Shieldheart, the blood phoenix. To save Mare, to protect Atlanta, to destroy Aquaylae…no price is too high, not even my soul…"

Mission Menace

I finished reading a book by Charlie Wolfe called Mission Tango. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and I can't wait to read another story from Charlie.

This book grabs your attention right off the bat by pulling you into a terrifying story, beautifully sculpted and fascinating. The book pulled me into it from the very beginning, and I didn't want to put it down once I started.

 Here is what Amazon says about this story, "St. Petersburg is about to wake to a horrific morning.. “Le Docteur” has returned to Europe to finish his evil plan to retaliate is enemies all over the world. This time, his target is another giant, Mother Russia. “Le Docteur” uses two accomplices, who have been able to get their hands on fatal weaponry stolen from an US army base. They are planning to bomb St. Petersburg during a Vladimir Putin’s stay. David Avivi, a high ranking Israel Mossad agent, is chasing “Le Docteur” with his elite team and arrives in Europe to stop the scheme. When the Iranians get in on the plan as well, Avivi understands that he must stop the arch-terrorist for good – dead or alive."

The Bamboo Ice Cream Mystery: How to Remember and Succeed (Memory Masters Book 1)


I just finished reading this really cute book called The Bamboo Ice Cream Mystery: How to Remember and Succeed by Eran Katz.

 It was a nice easy read and a break from what I normally read. The author writes in a nice,simple imaginative style that will grab the attention of young minds. This was my first time reading this author, but I was very impressed. This book talks about memory and is such a wonderful read.

This is what Amazon says about this book, "Some people in the world only get to eat black and white ice cream. Yogoor the Schmendrik decides to change this injustice by competing in the world ice cream memory championship. The winner gains the right to control the world's ice cream fields and ice nut mines. This is the only way Yogoor and his friends will ever be able to enjoy unlimited flavors of ice cream. There's just one problem. The only one who can help him achieve his goal is an old memory master who holds the secrets to amazing memory techniques… and no one has seen him for the past 20 years. Yogoor and his friend Ella set out on an adventurous, suspense-filled, humorous and inspiring journey in search of the missing master. Will they find him? Will they develop a super memory?"

Composer of the Calm Horizon: Escape to a New World






I finished reading another book by Al Romano called Composer of the Calm Horizon: Escape to a New World.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Al's books, and I can't wait to read another story from Al. 

This book grabs your attention right off the bat by taking you far beyond the realm of what our normal little world tells us.  It takes you to other times and places. 

The book pulled me into it from the very beginning, and I didn't want to put it down once I started. It had me rereading and trying to figure out what was happening or was going to happen.

Here is what Amazon says about this story, "

The existence of a special world rests on the shoulders of a 15-year-old boy

Ever since 15-year-old Neph Baker was accused by town members of committing arson, his life has become filled with suffering and loneliness. He was nicknamed “The Fire Kid” and is hated by literally everyone.
Everything changes when Neph discovers the Natin, a group of humanoids who invite him to their home. The Natin believe that Neph is the Composer of the Calm Horizon – the long-lost hero of legends, who could defeat the Airatsmeka, their eternal enemies.
When Neph arrives at the Novaverse, a utopian parallel world dominated by the Natin, he understands that if he doesn’t live up to his supposed destiny as the composer, the utopia will be destroyed by the Airatsmeka. The Natin have been waiting seven centuries for the opportunity to defeat the Airatmeka. There is no room for failure. If Neph doesn’t complete his mission, he will return to his life as an outcast.
Neph is willing to do anything to prove himself.
Time is running out..."

Discarded: Dumpstermancer Series, Book 1 By Michael J Allen


I finished reading another book by Michael J Allen called Discarded.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Michael's books, and this is another great story from Michael.

This book grabs your attention right off the bat with a different style of magic, which is a common occurrence.

The character is interesting, but at times I was frustrated by his behavior.

 I didn't want to put it down once I started.

Here is a short description off of Amazon: "Magic has been franchised. Magical conveniences are sold everywhere like designer coffee. Everyday life is filled with technical and magical wonders. Only, the magic is murdering people. Thoth Corp's hot new spell is turning people into ravening monsters. Their only hope to quietly rectify the situation before the epidemic spreads is the spell architect they framed and sent to prison. El's response to his former partners wasn't polite. Homeless, forbidden to use government-regulated magic, and barely surviving out of dumpsters, Eli struggles to rebuild his life. Fairytale rats thought long extinct with the rest of the fey rescue Eli from murderous vigilantes, but at a cost. They force him to save fairy matrons stolen away by Thoth's monsters, thrusting Eli between his old company and a shadow war waged against humanity. To stop the war, cure Thoth's victims, and rescue the city, Eli need only find some way to make magic out of trash."

SaviLand One Step 3 In 1 Nail Gel Polish

I recently tried the SaviLand One Step 3in1 Gel Nail Polish,and it is a decent polish.

When I first twisted the base to get it to come out into the brush, I noticed it had a thick tar-like look to it, however despite that look, it did take 3 applications to get it to not look streaked.

Here is a photo of when first applied after 3 coats:

This is a photo 2 weeks after the application through work, etc.
It did hold up pretty good. It still looked nice and is still looking okay. It did chip on a couple of nails but for going on 3 weeks, I would say that is pretty good.

I was a little disappointed that it was just sent without any instructions besides what is on the website.

They do offer it in 24 different colors, the color I chose was black.

This is what the company says about their product:
✓Don't need base/top coat anymore, 1 pen does it all.
✓Fast-dry formula. 5 minutes to complete your nail art.
✓Compared to traditional gel polish, saving money & saving time, but charming color remains the same.
✓Pen shaped appearance design,portable and easy to use. Usually can last for 14-21 days.
✓Suitable for natural nails, UV gel nails, false nails, acrylic nails, nail tips, etc.
✓No nail damage, comfortable and breathable.

Gift Cards for playing games.

I was very skeptical about getting gift cards for playing games on my phone. Most of these type apps have games that I just really don't play.

However, I found Mahjong Rewards, and it has lots of games that I play. I have already earned and received my codes for 2-$5 Amazon gift cards. I will add photos so you can see these.

I thought this was really cool. If you like games like Words with Friends 2, Yatzee with Friends, Panda Pop, Wheel of Fortune, and several more, head over to the Google Play Store and download this app.

I am not affiliated with this app at all, but wanted to let you know about it.

Haunted Blood: A Paranormal Mystery Thriller (Crimes of Spirit) by Elik Katzav

I just finished reading Haunted Blood: A Paranormal Mystery Thriller by Elik Katzav. I really enjoyed reading this and loved how the author embraced the paranormal and mystery together. The author had lots of twists and turns throughout the entire book. The characters were well written and made you feel like they could be real people. I don't want to give away too much but thought I would share what Amazon said about the book.

 "A missing reporter is found drained of blood after being murdered in a ritualistic ceremony. Now, a young boy has gone missing. David used to be a police detective before he was shamefully dismissed for claiming that a demon possessed an old priest.Now, he is taking odd jobs as a private eye and investigating the disappearance of a missing boy. As his investigation progresses, he becomes certain that supernatural forces are involved. The theft of an ancient pagan god statue from a museum, a patient in a psych ward who claims she took part in secret sacrificial killings, and a ruthless cult leader who will stop at nothing, all allow David to understand evil things are coming his way. David must solve the mystery before the clock strikes zero. If he doesn’t find the boy, he will lose himself as well." If you like mysteries and the paranormal, then I think you would love this book.
