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.

Fairies at Bedtime
Every short begins about the same “Close your eyes and take a deep breathe. Imagine that you at a river, or a beach, or a farm, or inside on a rainy day.” I am paraphrasing because I am writing from memory. Each story has questions and affirmations to teach your child to use their imagination and to be a good kid.
I thought some of the stories were cute and others repetitive. . The stories were short and pretty simplistic. I would place it in the age group of age 2-5. I thought have discussion questions at the end was nice.
I was not a fan of making the stories so simple. I wanted more from the stories but I guess since I am not the target audience I should not complain. I just feel that even some kids will think this too simple as well.
The stories in general are not memorable, to me anyway. I remember that there were many different fairies in the stories, but I do not remember most of the stories. I don’t know if they would stick with child any better and you would want them to if you are focused on using the affirmations at the end.
