Review: King Charles
King Charles by Maria Isabel Sanchez VegaraMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
These little books are so thrilling. They aren't too in-depth and gloss over some points of the subject's life, but they are fun and brilliantly illustrated. I enjoyed this one because we get Charles III early life, and how he was groomed for the day that has now arrived for him. If you have not checked out this book, or any other book of this series, do yourself a favor and try one, or ten.

April Book Pick
I was in a Daisy Jones and the Six vibe because everyone has been talking about the book again (thanks to the TV show) so I picked up this book. I loved this dual timeline book from the first chapter. Jackie is the niece of a famous rock star and her well-to-do parents let her go speed the summer with her uncle and her first cousin, Willa at a home named The Sandcastle. Jackie tells us all about the things they did, the places they hid, the family fights, and how she longed to stay at The Sandcastle forever. Forever lasted about two years, until someone dies and someone never returns.
Fast forward to 1999, Jackie inherited The Sandcastle and wants to get rid of it as quickly as possible. There is a musician on-site
recording an album and the two of them form a friendship and figure out how a person can heal from their past.
