This is the story of Joseph and his brothers. Joseph can interpret dreams. When he interprets dreams about his family, his brothers hate him. They hate him more because he is their father's favorite. When Joseph comes to bring them food, they plot to kill him but decide to sell him to merchants who are traveling past them. Joseph ends up in Egypt, a servant to Potipher. He gets thrown into jail where he interprets dreams for the other prisoners. His ability is brought to the attention of Pharoah who has him removed from jail to interpret his dreams. He becomes a ruler of Egypt.

This is one of my favorite Bible stories but so much was missing from this version. Though it is for children, they can understand the whole story and too much was missing in this book that it felt like I was walking into the middle of the story. I felt that I was missing the story. It also ended abruptly so I got no closure of when Joseph's brothers come to Egypt to buy food during the famine. Children may need a little explanation, but they know when things are left out. I'd like to see the author rewrite this book and put the whole story of Joseph and his coat and his brothers. The illustrations are beautiful, and they deserve the full story also.… (mehr)

Aloha to Love by Josie Riviera
Really enjoyed this story because it follows a woman-Angelina and she's a writer and some of her script needs correcting before they can make it into a movie.
The scientific expert Caleb is on the cruise also and he conducts classes about his career choice. He knows a lot about volcanoes. She takes his classes and he helps her with the script-he playing the male part.
Love that he tells her, when he stops reading his lines, that a guy wouldn't say that. what was written. They improvise and get through the script and then some.
Story also follows Rachel who's pregnant and on her way to meet her spouse who's already on the island.
Love hearing of the events that take place away from the ship and all that is learned on the excusions.
Good holiday romance, more from five others.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.… (mehr)

I liked the author's thoughts on this story: "I had thought Mary Trahern was safely settled in New Haven, Connecticut, but when I checked on her, I found out her husband had died when his ship went down in a storm. Mary was in danger of losing her sunny smile, so of course I had to rescue her, with another Trahern story."

Mary will find herself escaping the home that is stifling her sunny disposition and has just enough money to head West by train and hopefully find a job. Her travels will introduce her to Stephen, a real gentleman, and the things they encounter on their travels together will bond them closer and closer. But when they both reach their destination, the real danger begins! Another entertaining story in the Trahern Western Pioneer series. I have enjoyed them all!!… (mehr)

"Traherns are hard to kill, and Regan Trahern is one of the toughest.
Waterfalls and bears can't conquer him, how about a young lady?" (from Amazon)

Regan Trahern saves the lives of two young folks traveling in a wagon train when their parents lose their lives to the powerful river currents. Regan and 17 year old Bea and her 4 year old brother will survive the first waterfall and then experience rough, cold waters, climb down rocky heights, and carefully deal with grizzly bears. Regan will eventually take the brunt of a black bear's rage to protect the two he's come to view as his own little family. This story never lacks for action packed adventure as these three show their strength and stamina and come to care for each other in the easy to read and very enjoyable novella.… (mehr)
