Confuzzled Books
If you are wondering what kinds of books I review and events I host, this little section is the place to look.
Books I love to read: Children's, Young Adult, Paranormal and Fantasy books.
Books I like to read: General Fiction, Romances, Religious Fiction, Mysteries and Biographies.
So those are the genres of books I will generally review. If you send me a book outside of those areas, I'll consider it, but it may not fit my tastes. Reviews will take about 2 months to post; I try to post them around the time the book is released.
On giveaways: Sending me a signed book to give away on the site is a great way to get your book noticed. I do a "mystery book" giveaway about every 2 weeks, where I read the book and twitter about it without revealing its title, then reveal what I've been reading and give it away. The whole event takes a couple weeks, and I feature the giveaway book on my blog for most of that time.

The Last Golden Egg
Having a very fairy tale feel the story is told in a lengthy format with much description. A Kingdom with a Golden Egg of Hope is a interesting concept that loses something in the telling of the story.A young peasant boy is asked to be caretaker of the egg but is set up by a thief who steals the egg and the blame goes on the boy. The boy pleads his innocence and his animal friends help him to prove what is right.
The story doesn’t flow that smoothly and at times can be confusing. In the beginning the animals friends are mentioned only in name but you don’t know that they are animals until later. It does have a hopeful feel to it but lacks direction in some places and some editing.
I think it to be a original tale that should have been a wonderful tale of hope throughout the kingdom not tale a of trustworthiness. It just seems that it would be right if you have a tale of a Golden Egg of Hope that you make your about the hope through out the kingdom and I just did not feel that this story did that.
