The Toddler Survival Guide by Mike & Heather Spohr

The Book ✯✯✯✯✯
Appropriately short for frazzled, worn out parents of toddlers, The Toddler SurvivalGuide is laugh-out-loud funny. Any parent with a (or multiple--yikes!) toddler(s) will find themselves nodding and laughing along with all of the statements the Spohrs make.
The book walks you through the top tips of eating, bedtime, teeth brushing, potty training, tantrums, and more. I didn't find that it gave any awesome, never before thought of tips. Most of us parents have already blundered through enough of the toddler months that we know most of these instinctually. However, this is less about being a "how to" and all about how to come out the other end of the Toddler Apocalypse with some of our humor intact knowing that we are not alone. (No, really I needed to know that it was normal to have a toddler consistently remove their diaper and still refuse to sit on the potty. Y'all. The struggle is absolutely real.)
Thank you to NetGalley, the Spohrs, and Voyageur Press…

Belle by Sarah Price

The Book ✯✯✯✮

A sweet retelling of Beauty and the Beast with an Amish twist, Price delivers a cozy little read. It isn't much different from the original--just minus the magic and the actual Beast form. Instead, it focuses on a man who was a burn victim as a child and grew increasingly mean and reclusive as his Amish community ridiculed him.
Thankfully this was not an instalove romance. It was also nothing very new, but I found myself invested in Adam and Belle as people and stayed up late into the night so that they could get their happy ending all the faster.
If you need a quick, happy read, this one is for you. However, with the Amish focus, it also includes Christian lessons. I had no issue with this and took great comfort in the lessons it taught, but others that are not as religious may not enjoy this one.
Thank you for NetGalley, Sarah Price, and Kensington Books for the free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Fiction: The Space Between Words by Michele Phoenix "There were seconds, when I woke, when the world felt unshrouded. Then memory returned."

When Jessica regains consciousness in a French hospital on the day after the Paris attacks, all she can think of is fleeing the site of the horror she survived. But Patrick, the steadfast friend who hasn’t left her side, urges her to reconsider her decision. Worn down by his insistence, she reluctantly agrees to follow through with the trip they’d planned before the tragedy.

“The pages found you,” Patrick whispered.

“Now you need to figure out what they’re trying to say.”

During a stop at a country flea market, Jessica finds a faded document concealed in an a…

Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly

The Book✯✯✯

Inspired by the life of a real World War II heroine, this debut novel reveals a story of love, redemption, and secrets that were hidden for decades.

The book stays at a continual pace. We get to be in the mind of the nefarious Herta Oberheuser, the only female doctor tried during the Nuremberg Trials. We get to follow sweet Caroline Ferriday, an elite New Yorker that spent her life helping Holocaust victims and raging against racism in the north. And we get to follow Kasia, along with her sister, as the fictional characters based off of two very real Rabbits.

It is a heartbreaking tale, but seamlessly woven. It makes you somehow understand Herta, while never fully sympathizing with her. And you cheer for Caroline in every chapter. But the real heart of the story is Kasia. If you know nothing of the Rabbits of Ravensbruck, you can either choose to do your homework before hand or not. This book will make you want to research the real horrors that happened during their surviv…
