The Magic of You: A Colorful Book of Happiness
by Laura Jane
4 out of 5 stars
This cute little book is full of inspirational sayings that encourage the reader to dream big and create beautiful things! Each affirmation or mantra guides you to make your dreams and goals a reality, pushing aside fear and embracing faith.
The book is divided into sections for Self-Love, Dream, Believe, Grow, and Create. The artwork in each section has a main color scheme: pink for Self-Love, orange for Dream, green for Grow, etc…
It’s a clever way to give some structure to the otherwise random little sayings.
Friendshipping: The Art of Finding Friends, Being Friends, and Keeping Friends
by Jenn Bane (Goodreads Author), Trin Garritano, Jean Wei (Illustrations)
3 out of 5 stars
This book gives advice about forming friendships as an adult. It starts with how to find people that you have something in common with, where to look for friends, and how to recognize when a new acquaintance is interested in being friends. Then there are chapters about how to navigate difficult friend problems like hosting parties, lending money, or setting boundaries. There is some good advice about being compassionate and forgiving, and how to give a proper apology.
However, I found it odd that a book about friendship had so much political propaganda in it, almost preaching leftist ideology to the reader. It would have been much better to stick to the subject of friendship instead of forcing a political agenda into the book.

Eating with the King by Terri Rockwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was so impressed with this little book, especially because every page quotes Scripture! There are so many positive messages of encouragement in this book.

I think this book could apply to any craving or addiction, not just eating food. The messages in this book would help with anything that draws us away from God, forms a bad habit, or entices us to harm our health in some way. Continue reading
