Welcome to the thirty-second 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 start with my summer reading challenge update. I have two titles left to read from my list.
- Complete Book of Solitaire and Patience Games (I’m reading through this slowly because I’m trying games as I go.)
- Save The Cat Writes a Novel
If we were having coffee, I would thank everyone who participated in the free Tarot readings I offered last week. It was wonderful to read for you.
If we were having coffee, I would share that I have added two new tabs to my blog. Please check them out: Magic and MG Series. I also posted Echoes of the Cards on Monday. Please like and share. If you like that post, you may also enjoy Energy Knows No Boundaries: Experience Distance Usui & Celtic Reiki, which I could use some likes and shares on as well.
If we were having coffee, I would share that my family made it home. Their flight was canceled because of the WestJet strike, but WestJet got them onto a different flight and home the same day they were supposed to arrive. I’m happy to have them home. I found the evenings to be too quiet without them.
Here is the coffee bean grinder. How was your week?
