Quest to the Uncharted Lands book tour – review

Disclosure: I received this book free as part of the book tour. Opinions shared are mine.


The first line of this book is inspiring and hopeful:

“When the Iron Glory’s engines rumbled to life for its journey to the uncharted lands, it marked a new future for the world of Solace.”

As you might imagine, fantasy abounds in The Quest to the Uncharted Lands.  Alchemy, magic, and all things steampunk find refuge in these pages.

Cat Lover’s Quotation Book makes a great gift

Disclosure: I received this book for review. Opinions shared are mine.

At the Savings in Seconds house, our pets are family.  It’s a good night when everyone has a pet to pet.  Last summer, our pound-kitty was tragically killed on the road.  We had such heartbreak over his loss.  A few weeks later, a friend who was moving out of the country asked if we’d take her 2 cats.  We had the room in our hearts to do it, and it would help a friend, so we agreed.  One year later, those cats seem like they’ve been part of our home forever.
