Sterling by Dannika Dark


    Well, don't come at me for reading the series in the wrong order. The Seven series was supposed to come second after this one, but guess what? I'm going to read them out of order. Darks first book of the series, "Sterling" is a wonderful dive into the world unknown by humans. She has fully hooked me into yet another series. The main character Zoe is a human that was forced to change into a Mage in a brutal attack by a stranger. From there she is taken in my a string of men who would and will fight to the death for a girl who hasn't even given herself to them. 

    Zoe is renamed Silver and she must quickly learn the world of her magic to survive the coming battle. Her human friend vows to fight for her freedom and consequently becomes a Mage as well. We get to also see her love for Justus her "guardian" grow throughout the book. I would rate this book 3.9 out of a five due to the nature of every man instantly willing to lay down their life for Silver/ Zoe. It just make the whole story seem somewhat strange to me. I also do NOT like weak female leads, so I hope our main character grows on us as the series progresses. I listened to this book on Audible and the narration was fabulous. I would highly recommend trying audio books.

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
