Books On My Reading Wish List

As I go through looking for deals on Amazon I see book suggestions. I still have books sitting on my shelf at home or sitting on my Kindle that I haven’t had time to read so I just add them to my wish list.

I’m all over the board with books. I enjoy paranormal romances, thrillers and suspense, cozy mysteries, light-hearted reads, true stories of struggle and triumph, an more. I also love a good fairytale retelling especially if it’s more grown-up or has a unique twist. I’m not good at categorizing books either so I apologize for that. But here is what’s on my wish list:

The Moonlight Child by Karen McQuestion – Reading the synopsis I’m thinking it’s a paranormal mystery but it sounds intriguing to me.

The Year of the Witching by Alexis Henderson – another paranormal read that sounds like it takes places many years ago. Discovering family secrets, witches, religion, just sounds like an interesting read to me. I actually requested this one for my birthday since my birthday is in October. I figure it’s a perfect October read.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain – as an introvert myself, admittedly, the title peaks my interest. I don’t see too many book about introverts with a positive spin so I’d like to check it out. It also happens to be a New York Times best seller

Of Spice and Men: A Pancake House Mystery by Sarah Fox – I’ve read several books in the pancake house mystery series. A meddling female main character, romance, beautifully described ocean town, and mouth watering food descriptions. Each book also has recipes for some of the foods described in the book which I LOVE. A nice cozy mystery to curl up with

Revenge of the Kudzu Debutantes by Cathy Holton – 3 friends coming together to deal with life circumstances. To me it seems like the southern version of the first wives club or something similar. I saw someone reading the 2nd book in this series and asked her about it. She told me it was very entertaining, funny, heartwarming, etc. So I’d like to give the first book a try first.

The Forgotten Ones by Steena Holmes – This book sounds absolutely rivoting. A thriller perhaps or maybe paranormal mystery. I’m not sure from the synopsis but either way, it sounds like my kinds of book .

I have a few more on my wishlist but these are towards the top of my list. Tell me what is on your reading wishlist.

Hot Holiday Toys To Watch For: Magic Mixies

I had the absolute pleasure of attending The Toy Insiders Virtual Day of Play for Holiday Toys. The one thing that was mentioned in the opening is that the toy industry is facing many of the issues that a lot of other industries are this year. That includes: delayed ship times, labor shortages, difficulty getting certain materials, etc. So the message this year is to buy early and buy “the” toy item your child wants when you see it. (If you are able to of course)

One of the items expected to be a hot holiday toy this year is Magic Mixies from Moose Toys.

During the Day of Play virtual event I showed the how-to video to my daughter and she was mesmerized. I posted a little info about it on my private facebook page and several of my friends and neighbors were telling me this is already on their kids’ wish lists.

What Is It?

It’s an interactive toy. You’ll receive a cauldron, wand, and ingredients to create a Mixie creature (included).

The short version: A magic cauldron that lights up, bubbles, and more. Your child adds all the ingredients and uses their magic wand to stir and tap the pot. Once all ingredients are added and all steps are complete, watch as the cauldron mists an reveals their Mixie creature.

The Mixie itself also interacts with your child and their wand. They can even do assist with the cauldron and spell book. Your child’s Mixie has 50+ sounds and reactions!

My favorite part? This isn’t a one and done thing. You can recreate the magic of revealing the Mixie over and over again.

I love that it has so much entertainment value and quite simply is adorable.

When and Where Can I Get It?

Depending on the site Magic Mixies will be released October 3 with Amazon listing October 1 for ship dates on pre-orders. Here’s some places and links you can find Magic Mixies.

Magic Mixies at Target Pink not available for pre-order here

Here’s Why You May Want to Consider Shopping Early This Holiday Season

2021 has been different in a lot of ways than other years. The pandemic has caused a lot of issues. Not only are we dealing with a pandemic itself but a domino effect of other issues including delayed shipping, availability of parts, labor shortages, price increases, and more.

You’ve probably seen in the news things like automotive makers not putting out as many new vehicles due to computer chip shortages. Guy I just saw that parents are having issues getting Lunchables and juice boxes. My local Giant Eagle had signs up for a while about having issues getting Lunchables in.

I’m a long time Amazon Prime member and I’ve noticed they’re really pushing shipping days and choosing delayed shipping by offering benefits if you do. Less and less items seem to have 2 day shipping available. And even when I order two day shipping sometimes it’s taking longer.

So what do Lunchables and new cars have to do with holiday shopping? Well the same issues are applying to the toy industry. Labor shortages and delayed shipping will affect the amount of products on the shelves, how soon and if they can restock, and how long it takes for you to get the toys you order online. Some of the same supply issues are also affecting the toys industry in regard to parts and materials.

For this reason I will be do my Holiday Guide Posts early this year. My suggestion, if you see the toy your child wants I would buy it early. This is the suggestion Toy Insiders is giving to make sure you get the gifts you want to give this year.

I’m not gonna lie, I already started my holiday shopping.
