My Review 
This was a very cute book that is a must read for any cat loving children. Fluffy is adorable and I really loved that Levi as well. I liked the wheel chair element as many children's books don't include such elements which can make children in wheel chairs fee left out.

BEACHSIDE BEGINNINGS

Inside the Book

Title: BEACHSIDE BEGINNINGS
Author: Sheila Roberts
Publisher: MIRA
Pages: 384
Genre: Women’s Fiction

BOOK BLURB:

Moira Wellman has always loved makeovers—helping women find their most beautiful selves. Funny how it’s taken her five years with her abusive boyfriend, Lang, to realize she needs a life makeover. When Moira finally gets the courage to leave Lang, the beachside town of Moonlight Harbor is the perfect place to start over.

Soon Moira is right at home, working as a stylist at Waves Salon, making new friends, saving her clients from beauty blunders and helping the women of Moonlight Harbor find new confidence as well as new looks. When she meets a handsome police officer, she’s more than willing to give him a free haircut. Maybe even her heart. But is she really ready for romance after Lang? And what if her new friend is in hot pursuit of that same cop? This is worse than a bad perm. Life surely can’t get any more difficult. Or can it?

With all the heart and humor readers have come to expect from a Sheila Roberts novel, Beachside Beginnings is the story of one woman finding the courage to live her best life. And where better to live it than at the beach?

My Review

I have to say I have become a big fan of this author and I have especially come to love her Moonlit Harbor books. BEACHSIDE BEGINNINGS was a great fit to the series and I really loved Moira Wellman and I was so glad to see her get away from her abuser and flourish on her own.

My Review

The Devil and Dayna Dalton was the third book in the series that I listened to on Audible and it was my favorite of the three. Cathy McGowan narrated this book and I found that I prefered her as a narrator. Dayna Dalton was a great main character and I liked that I got to see a different view on Sheriff Finnes through the eyes of Dayna Dalton. Overall, I really loved this series and this book in particular.

Lighten Your Mental Load by Amy Thornton

Book Details:

Book Title:  Lighten Your Mental Load by Amy Thornton
Category:  Adult non-fiction,  129 pages
Genre:  Self-Help
Publisher:  Tell-Tale Publishing
Release date:   January, 2020
Content Rating:  PG: The author uses occasional mild swear words in the book.

Book Description:

Mental labor, or the mental load, involves the many — and extremely varied — tasks that are involved in managing a household and/or workplace. This topic has exploded over the past couple of years, especially for women. As stated in an October 2017 Washington Post article, “The constant stress of trying to stay organized — and to remember to execute so many tasks every single day — is affecting women's relationships with their spouses, children, friends, and colleagues. They are experiencing mental, emotional, and physical fatigue trying to stay on top of it all.”

Lighten Your Mental Load shares real stories of what this load is like for both men and women across the globe and how it originated. It offers practical advice on how to lighten this burden through technology and other methods in the following areas:
• Home
• Shopping and Meals
• Marriage/Partners
• Children
• Pets
• Transportation
• Career
• Birthdays, Celebrations, Holidays, and Vacations
• Volunteering, Church Activities, and Hobbies
• Caregiving
• Retirement

Finally, the book discusses ways to not add to the mental load of others and how we can more evenly distribute the mental labor between both sexes for future generations.

My Review

I ended up listening to this book second and I was very happy to find that it truly did not matter that I had listened to a book later in the series first. Dan McGowan did just as good of a job with the narration of this one and I found that listening to the book really helped me to imagine JB and Ellie as I was able to close my eyes and picturing them as I heard the story unfold!
