Welcome to the sixteenth book review of fifty-three. As you know, I used to provide freelance book reviews to several review companies. It was a great experience that introduced me to new authors and their wonderful books. Each week this year, I’m opening my Weekend Coffee shares with a link to a review I’ve provided. Reviews are three stars or higher. The genres range from picture books to fiction and nonfiction titles.

If we were having coffee, I would share that I completed my Reiki Level 1, making me a Level 1 practitioner. Energy work is interesting, and I look forward to taking Level 2 in the future.
If we were having coffee, I would share that the eBook version of Dug Up is available for pre-order.
If we were having coffee, I would share that I have written ten thousand words for my middle-grade novel. My word goal is about twenty to twenty-five thousand. My main characters are a thirteen-year-old boy and a twelve-year-old girl. I’m having a lot of fun writing it and already have an idea brewing for a second book.
That’s my coffee news for this week. Here is the coffee bean grinder virtual friend. How was your week? (Please leave the link to your post in the comment section below so I can stop in for a virtual visit.)
