Blog Tour: Jackson by Emily March









My Review:
4.5 stars raised to 5 stars. This is both Book 16 in the Eternity Springs series and the first book in The McBride's of Texas series. Even if you have never read a book in the Eternity Springs series, you can still read this its more a 1st book in a new series than one of a continuing series. Plus the Eternity Springs series books can all pretty much be stand alone books. The book may have some of the characters appear from the past books, but not in a way that makes you unsure of what is going on. I originally started reading book 7 and loved the book, so much I have read all the books in the series, except for #5 and #6, which I still plan to read.

I loved this book and am so excited to continue with another off shoot of the original series. It is pretty much a sweet romance with little sexual content, which is refreshing. There was only one area of the book that I wasn't crazy about or maybe a bit bored (and thus the deduction of half a star), but since I was not able to write my review immediately, but instead a couple days later; at this point, I can not quite remember specifics of what it was, so I probably could give it a full 5 stars. I look forward to reading the next book in the series and wonder which of the other 2 cousins will be the main feature in this book. I am guessing Boone, but it could be Tucker. I'll just have to wait until later this year or next year to find out.

The Truths We Hold by Kamala Harris

The Truths We Hold: An American Journey

I really did not know anything about Kamala Harris, other than she was one of over 20 people who were running for the Democratic nomination in order to run against Donald Trump in the 2020 Election and that she was born to parents of Jamaican and Indian ancestry. I found the book quite interesting; she starts with her early life as well as a bit about her parents before she was born and continues into her professional life, as well as her personal life. I am hoping to read or listen to many of the other nominees' biographies or autobiographies. for the Democratic party over the next year. 4 stars.
