Reflections of Soul by Queen Of Spades

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Reflections of Soul is a collection of wonderful poems from an amazingly talented author who writes under the pen name Queen of Spades. I received this book as a gift recently and discovered many gems within its pages. Queenie lays bare the human condition that anybody with a soul certainly experiences throughout the course of life. She exposes the raw nerves of anger, fear, joy, yearning, love, and hope. And she does this in a way that illustrates how these lines can so easily become blurred.

This book is an exercise in writing technique; Queenie's emotions seep from her soul onto the pages so effortlessly. You'll find yourself returning to these words over and over again, recalling lines the way the greats are often recalled.

If you're a fan of poetry, this is most definitely a must-have for your library. Even if you're not into poetry, the beauty and pain of this collection is not to be missed. There are only a few poets writing today that truly move my soul. Queen of Spades is one of those few.

From Whence Jasmine Blooms by C. Desert Rose

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


As the old saying goes, “One must die in order to truly live.” From Whence Jasmine Blooms dips into this philosophy—sort of. To reach her full potential, Jasmine finds herself on a journey most of us would die for—literally. Heaven, and all of its mysteries, becomes the classroom for this curious young lady.
Jasmine doesn’t enter the Pearly Gates in the standard way. But it’s the people she meets there who become her teachers—each one sharing lessons needed for a life well lived. And many of these teachers are people she already knows—or knew.
This is a short read filled with life lessons and a focus on the bonds of love that cannot be severed even through death. What’s the meaning of life? Grab a copy of this story and find out.
