"The Time Chamber"

If you are looking for a fun book for kids, or coloring book lovers, or both, then I found it for you. Your welcome. "The Time Chamber," by Daria Song, is a children's book and coloring book combined. It tells the story of a fairy living in a cuckoo clock, who decides to leave her clock to explore the little girl's room that she lives in. It is full of beautiful pictures that are left blank for the reader to fill in with whatever colors they choose. There are also hidden objects in some of the pictures that add a little extra fun to the book.

"The Time Chamber" is more about the pictures then it is the literature. The story is cute, but it's not one that you will want to read over and over again. The coloring pages on the other hand are magnificent and are very detailed. This is not a coloring book for little kids. It is for older children or even adults who would be willing to spend the time coloring in all of the little spaces. I actually got excited when I opened the book. It would be so much fun to spend the time and make this book yours. The pages are thick and high-quality, so it will last a long time. If you have an art-lover (like my 10-year old little sister) then this is a great gift idea for them.

I received my copy of "The Time Chamber" from Blogging for Books for this review. You can get your copy here and learn more about the author here. Let me know what you think!

"Chameleon Soul Mate"

I discovered this book on the website "BookBub", check it out if you don't know what that is. I downloaded a copy of "Chameleon Soul Mate", by Evelyn Lederman, and basically from the first page could tell why it was being offered for free. The story is about an alternate universe that is a lot like ours except the people there have telepathic abilities. The main girl accidentally crosses to this universe from earth and finds out that he parents are from the first person she runs in to is her soul mate.

This book is definitely not one that I would recommend. The text is very repetitive, the details are weak, and the storyline is confusing. There is quite a bit of sex involved and the author puts the words 'soul mate' in almost every single sentence. It's ridiculous. I didn't get very far into "Chameleon Soul Mate" before I actually laughed out loud at how ludicrous it was, and I didn't read any further. Definitely 1 out of 5 stars. I only put this book on here to give you a heads up incase you are a fellow BookBub user and you've downloaded this book. If you have, I would promptly delete it. :)

"Things I've Said to My Children"

If you are a parent, or have spent time around kids, then you know that sometimes you say something that you never ever thought you would say. "Don't play with dog poop", or "stop putting rocks in her diaper" are just a couple of examples. Nathan Ripperger took the crazy things that he has had to say to his 5 boys and added pictures to go along with it. He titled this creation, "Things I've Said to My Children".

This book is literally a compilation of things that the author has said to his children, with drawings to go along with them. You can flip through the whole book in less than 10 minutes. While there are some fairly funny sayings, there isn't any sort of story to explain why that was something he had to say. It's comparable to a book full of posters. Fun to look at, but you don't really take anything away from it. I wish there was a text box added to some of the pages with just a little blurb about what was going on when that particular saying came up. It would engage the reader more and make this more of a book than simply pictures with captions.

Despite all of that, it is a fun book and might be a good gift idea for someone about to become a parent. I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
