Everything Will Be Okay - Dana Perino

 


Dana Pernio "Everything Will Be Okay." 

Though I'm well past the age for most of the advice in this book, it was still a great read and a book that I'll happily purchase for young people working their way through the world. 

What surprised me the most about this book was Dana's humor. She mentioned she should write a book, "Things I wanted to Tweet but didn't" - ATTENTION PUBLISHER - PLEASE do this.!

I appreciated the stories Dana talked about regarding her life, her ups and downs, and how she handled things. 

You do not have to be a Conservative to be grateful for this amazing women who has the grace and talent, work ethic, and wit, to not only enjoy this book but use it as a motivational tool, guide to getting through the challenges.  

Available in bookstores and online.

The Orphan Witch by Paige Crutcher

 The Orphan Witch by Paige Crutcher is a novel to be savored. Very much in the vein of Alice Hoffman. In some ways authors way with description reminded me of Ray Bradbury. 

This is writing at it's finest. Well paced, lyrical, characters that you root for. 

And the best part is, the magic is believable. 

Kind of like Field Of Dreams. It seemed possible. 

Paige Crutcher will be an author to watch for anyone that loves magical realism and/or appreciates writing as an art. Thank you to the Publisher and Net Galley for the opportunity to spend time with The Orphan Witch. 

Look for it September of 2021.
