How did they become The Moonglow Sisters? It was the name given to three young girls. Orphaned, they went to live with their Grammy and got their nickname because these sisters spent a lot of time together.
Who are they as adults? There is Shelley who has been embracing a lifestyle of yoga and gurus and who feels like a failure. Then there is Madison. She is ultra successful with her own lifestyle tv show and past hurts and grudges. The third of the sisters is Gia, a peacemaker and owner of a bespoke kite shop.
The plot: When their grandmother becomes ill, the three sisters are together again. They will be reminded of Madison’s broken wedding and will watch as another sister (unbeknownst to them) feign an engagement. They will try to save their grandmother’s bed and breakfast and pray for her recovery. The chapters will be held together with quilting terminology as they try to get along for long enough to complete the quilt.
Verdict: This is an easy to read women’s fiction title. I recommend it for those of you who would like a bit of escape, although not everything is fluffy in the world of these characters.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.
![The Challenging Riddle Book for Kids: Fun Brain-Busters for Ages 9-12 by [Danielle Hall]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Hpi1j865L._SY346_.jpg)
The riddles in this book are often quite challenging. I think that even adults will find that they cannot solve them all. Geared toward children 9 to 12, this book contains many excellent puzzles to work out Luckily, there is an answer key at the end, in case either adult or child is stumped.
This book provides writers with many guidelines. In chapters on everything from style (including capitalization, abbreviations, spelling and more), to those on Business, Health and Science, Digital Security, and Religion among others, guidance and information are given that will help writers with their projects.
Many people grow up learning about Greek and Roman mythology but, of course, many cultures have their stories of heroes/heroines and gods/goddesses. This book compiles many of these stories that are Celtic in origin.
This title is exactly as described; it provides an excellent and practical guide to exploring family history. Just a few of the many things that a reader can find out from this book include learning how to research land records, learning what can be found out from a “binding order” and ways to listen to the music of one’s cultural heritage. Each section of this book is short and practical. I think that this book will be useful to many and , most especially, to those who are just beginning their exploration.
This is a pick for Resse Witherspoon’s book club.

If you’ve always wanted to read this, here is your chance. All three books for $2.99. I have always meant to read this series, maybe I will start now.
This rhyming picture book tells the story of an open adoption. As is often the case in children’s books, the characters are animal, not human. Many feel that this provides a distance that is helpful to young children.
This book should be required reading for young people, perhaps girls in particular, as the need is there to engage the next generation in the political process. This title includes 44 profiles of women, mostly from the U.S., with a few from around the world. Some of these women’s views are aligned with mine, while others are not. Perhaps this is good as the book can be used as a basis for discussion.
