The Kingmaking: Book One of the Pendragon's Banner Trilogy by Helen Hollick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I downloaded this for free July 26, 2013 to my Nook library. It feels like historical fiction, even though the author says it is a novel where she has to combine legend and stories from an age when histories were rarely written.
I enjoyed it enough to seek out the second of its trilogy at my local library.

The Florence Legacy: A Novel by Lauraine Snelling
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this novel as I have enjoyed all 33 of the books by Ms. Snelling that I have read.
I swear that I have read another book in which Bree Lindstrom is a character, or at least there is another character who is widowed because her husband had a boating accident or died while fishing in a small boat. But I cannot remember which of the contemporary novels Snelling wrote where this happened.
I actually took a star away because I spent too much time trying to remember what that other book was titled.

Draw Your Day for Kids!: How to Sketch and Paint Your Amazing Life by Samantha Dion Baker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I borrowed the Kindle edition from my local library.
If you enjoy DionBaker's Instagram posts, you may enjoy this book for the suggestions of "Drawing Challenges" and lists of items to draw. I like the suggestion of drawing someting three times: once from life: once from a photo reference you took; and once from memory.
As an adult, I got some ideas for myself. I imagined the kids I know might just roll their eyes at her suggestions.
