The Perfect Marriage
This was chosen as our Marine mom's book club book for the month of March 2024. It took me just a few days to finish the book. Jeneva Rose has a way to her writing that makes you want to finish the book quick. The twists is enough to make you wonder and just keep on going. It was written as a narrative from both the husband and the wife's point of view which adds to the mystery.
Sarah, the wife is a very successful lawyer in Washington, D.C. Adam, the husband is a struggling writer. They decided to have a lake house to help with his writing and to escape from the city. This is where he met Kelly his mistress. The mistress was found brutally murdered in the bedroom of their lake house. Sarah decided to defend her husband even when all evidence pointed to Adam being the killer.
Jeneva Rose will keep you on the edge on who was the real killer all through to the end. It is a page turning mystery thriller. Some reviewers did not like the fact that there were scenes where you will ask yourself - how could Adam not know or why would a wife defend a husband accused of killing his mistress and some other details that seem to make it like there was not enough research done about police procedures, etc. but I don't mind it. I just want to know who killed and why.
Now, I should stop saying more or I'll be spoiling the book for you.
Enjoy!

January 2024 | Fourth Wing | KCK Soapery
Violet grew up preparing to be a scribe for Basgiath War College where her mom was the commanding general. All her life she was trained to read, record and be the best scribe. But her mom basically forced her be a dragon rider. Violet is a small, very fragile young woman whose bones always get dislocated or broken but she has the sharpest very intelligent mind. She has to use her intelligence not just to survive passing the obstacles and tests, but to survive other cadets who hates her mom. Every cadet joining the dragon rider face the likelihood of being killed in the obstables or be killed by fellow cadets.
Xaden, a guy Mira (Violet's sister) warned her to avoid at all cost. But the chemistry between them is very strong right from the very beginning when they first laid eyes on each other.
The dragons were all so likable and menacing at the same time. They will bond with a first year who survived the gauntlet and they deemed fit to bond with or they can torch you just because you said something they don't like or you looked at them the wrong way.
It's a very entertaining fantasy book full of action, witty and whimsical with a hot dose of steamy romance.
Thank you for stopping by and don't hesitate to read this book. I got this book from the library but bought the "Iron Flame" just because I don't want to wait for my turn for days. Had to continue and will continue once the rest of the empyrean book are released.

January 2024 | Semper Parents | KCK Soapery
Semper Parents I highly recommend this book to anybody who wish to learn and understand "Marine" life. If you have a family currently in the military specifically a "Marine" this book is a great help. The author is a Marine wife and a Marine mom. Semper Parents will guide you through what the Marine is going through from bootcamp to what to expect during deployments and back. It is an easy read and makes this new chapter of my life understandable. The author included a few other Marine families' perspectives too. This book would be beneficial not just to parents but to any other family members of the military as well.
As an immigrant, I never thought I'd have a kid who would want to serve in the military. Everything about this life is new to me. Books like this makes it easier as I slowly navigate military life as a Marine mom.
I have been reading books and joining facebook groups for Marine parents. Just so I can imagine what my son is going through and know what other parents are experiencing as well. Some of these groups have moms whose hearts are always broken, others have moms who are there to help each other cope.
Here are some quotes from the book I would like to share:
* Significant portion of their training is dedicated to testing their will power and strength, endurance, persistence and beating the odds.
*The best thing I could do for my Marine was to learn more about taking care of myself.
*Pretty soon it was normal to not be concerned if we didn't hear from him. We all settled into the new norm.
These lines reminds me of what is always being shared by facebook moms " Semper Gumby" always be flexible and "No news is Good news".
Here's to us all Proud Marine Parents!
Thank you for dropping by.

November 2023 | November Affiliate Marketing Income | KCK Soapery
I don't have any new sales in any of my links. Got a few clicks on all my affiliates which for now includes Nurture Soap, Mavely, and Amazon. I've been busy making soaps for inventory for my upcoming craft show on the 2nd of December.
Amazon affiliate support groups in facebook are all ranting about a big change in the Amazon platform which will include pictures/images not included in sitestripe. So that means affiliates have to ask permission from the manufacturers to post pictures when the change starts or buy the products to post. This is one reason why I haven't posted too much about my links yet. I want to know what the big change will be then go from there. But I also can't ignore the fact that it is the biggest shopping season of the year so I have another Amazon shopping post before this.
Thank you for stopping by!

November 2023 | Gifts for Christmas 2023 | KCK Soapery
Here is a list of gifts for this Christmas. Hopefully, they will help you with Black Friday shopping and check off some things in your list. They were in my notification today and I thought they will be great for everyone.
Amazon is changing their affiliate platform and some big changes are happening. That is why I haven't been actively making posts with Amazon links.
For now, enjoy your shopping here while I can still post images.
Thank you so much for your support!
