Dragons, Castles, and Magic..Oh My!

I am always on the lookout for fun, fantasy/adventure books to read to my daughter.  She gets bored easily with children's books and wants more sword fights, magic, and far off imaginative books.  Since she was three years old, she's loved Lord of The Rings, Star Wars, Narnia, etc.  She'll even act out her favorite scenes over and over!

So, when the opportunity to write a review on a children/young adult book came along, I was skeptical. However, Iris and the Dragonflies by Rosemary Danielis sounded like a very promising mommy daughter cuddle time story with enough adventure to keep my daughter engaged.  Boy, was I right!


Quickly into the book, my daughter and I were transported to a world where a little girl, Iris, could talk to dragonflies!  She began to realize she has other powers, like hearing her friend Grace's voice telepathically.  Although, Iris isn't very popular at school, or even at home.  She feels her parents don't listen to her at all when she tries to tell them about her strange gifts.  They think she's a silly little girl.  


You will find out quickly that Iris is very brave for an 11 year old.  She stands up for what she knows is the right thing to do, even with adversaries and obstacles in her way.  All of this fantasy takes place in a very grounded reality, making it that much more fun for my child to get into and pretend she's Iris.


Travel with Iris from Canada to the countryside in Ireland as she gets in touch with her family roots and discovers more magic and mystery.  Then back to home to Canada where more adventures with her friend Grace await.


This book is a page-turner for young adults and us grown-ups who love fantasy!  This would be a great gift for young girls this summer.  You may not see her put this book down until she's read it from front to back.


Purchase Iris and the Dragonflies for only $.99 right now on Amazon for your Kindle (or kindle app).  Or better yet...buy a paper copy for a gift (or to keep from scrambling for a charger cord when you are in the middle of reading).


Find out more about this wonderful book and the amazing author on Facebook.







I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Pearl Mountain Image Converter Product Review

Pearl Mountain Image Converter is a very straight forward and user-friendly program.  This software allows the user to convert an image from and to so many different formats!

For Example: Have you ever had that dreaded situation of having a png image that you have to have as a jpg in order to upload it?  Or even to view it on your computer?  Pearl Mountain Image Converter takes all the hard work and online searches out of that equation.  With this software, I know I will never worry about "save as" or finding a program online to convert.

But wait!  It does more than that!  You can resize, crop, watermark, and correct brightness, contrast, hue, and sharpness.  Need to add a border?  Need to quickly rename all the adjustments you just made to an image?  This Image Converter does all of that. Better yet, this program can do this in batch to save you time on doing it one image at a time!

I'm sure there are more comprehensive image editing programs out there, but what I like about this, is the simplicity.  You don't have to juggle layers and all the other overwhelming image editing junk.  Absolutely ideal for my blog.  I have added this software as one of my top blogger utilities.

 Just a quick file format change, resize, rename and save.... upload to blog...done :D
