The Time Chamber- Review

I highly recommend The Time Chamber by Korean artist Daria Song. This is a very detailed coloring book that children and adults alike can enjoy. The story follows a red-haired fairy who enters the human world as the coo-coo clock strikes midnight. The story is very short, but the amount of coloring pages more than makes up for it.  It even has a gold-foil stamping on the cover and spine which lends an elegant appearance. The beautifully illustrated book would make a wonderful gift for a loved one. You won't regret this purchase! My only complaint is that the book does not lie flat. This makes it difficult to color the middle of the image that spans both pages. However, this is the most delightful coloring book I have every owned :)

Amish Christmas at North Star- Review

Amish Christmas at North Star is a book containing four short stories by different authors. The main characters each having been born on the same day by the same Amish midwife is what ties these stories together. I had expected to see their lives entwined throughout the stories but instead each book stands on it's own. Only through the prologue and epilogue do the stories come together.

Guiding Star is the first story and it is written by Katie Ganshert. She writes about a man trying to find where one of the four babies born in that Amish birthing center ended up.

Mourning Star is authored by Amanda Flower. A mysterious death of an Amish friend is investigated. Who would have murdered the man?

Cindy Woodsmall wrote In the Stars. Kore and his ex-girlfriend end up working together to care for some children in need. Will they be able to overcome whatever obstacle broke up their relationship a year prior?

And finally, Star of Grace was written by Mindy Starns Clark and Emily Clark. This is a story dealing with the power of forgiveness.

It's hard to get much depth when the story is short, and I find that characters are not always believable. However, for some light reading this was an enjoyable book.
