Welcome to the thirtieth 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.

Author is Harlan Coben
Published in October 2020

If we were having coffee, I would share the link to a new resource post I shared. This one is for magical resources: The Arcane Reservoir. I plan to update it regularly with resources I’ve had success with it: books, websites, learning platforms, events, and card decks.
If we were having coffee, I would like to invite anyone interested in a FREE tarot reading to email me at mrs.sharimarshsall@gmail.com. Let me know that you are from Weekend Coffee Share, and whether you would like a general reading or if you have an area that you’d like your reading to focus on. I will send you a PDF write-up including pictures of your reading. This offer is open until next Friday’s Weekend Coffee Share.
If we were having coffee, I would share that I’m reading Language of Lenormand by Erica Robinson and Still Waters by Tami Hoag. I’m just over halfway through writing the sequel to The Lost Goblin Map. I’m hoping to spend some time in the evenings working on my 3000-piece puzzle. It’s been sitting untouched for a while. It’s been a challenging one.
That’s it for me. Here is the coffee bean grinder. How was your week?
