This weeks question is:
"What is the one bookish thing you would love to have, no matter the cost?"
My answer to this is a nice cozy little room with a fireplace and a big soft squishy couch to curl up on and read a good book with the fire lit with wood crackling and a nice hot cup of coffee by my side. The corners of the walls will have floor to ceiling built in book cases filled with all the books I love and have reviewed or will review. I actually saw a room like this and I want it so bad lol. It is my dream room, and my one bookish thing I would love to have :).
Thanks for stopping in! Happy Halloween everyone!

Virtual Book Tour & Review - The Sorcerer's Dream by Dreamshield
The story of a young woman bumping into the enigmatic sorcerer Running Deer and her initiation into the sorcerer's world and mastering conscious dreaming. It takes the reader throughout the magic realms of the unknown and gives a new approach to the traditional training of women sorcerers.
From Dreamshield's Website - www.dreamshield.nl
The Sorcerer’s Dream is a personal account from the author’s experiences in the Native American sorcerer’s tradition in the Art of Dreaming.
Alysa Braceau, Dreamshield explains the teachings from the Indian shaman sorcerer Running Deer in such a manner that can also be used for the reader as a guidebook to practice lucid dreaming him/herself.
My Thoughts about The Sorcerer's Dream:
This book isn't exactly what I thought it was going to be, but it was a great tale. I think I was expecting more of a direct approach to conscious dreaming. What it is though, is a memoir if you will, of Alysa's own experience as she learns the Native American techniques to conscious dreaming. It follows Alysa's teachings with the help of her guide and mentor, Running Deer.
Her experiences as she learns Shamanism is incredible. From her first dream to reaching the second reality, it was amazing to realize the actual meanings behind her dreams. The course of recognizing and facing your fears, some of which you don't even realize you have. Alysa did a great job explaining her journey and it's a great guide to follow to recognizing the meaning behind your own dreams.
The journey doesn't stop at lucid dreaming, but also includes spiritual healing as well. If you are interested in conscious dreaming and the road traveled to reach totality, then you will thoroughly enjoy this book.
I give The Sorcerer's Dream **** (4) Stars. Well done Alysa.

***** Review of Ordeal by T.K. Varenko
Ordeal by T.K. Varenko was a fantastic read! Unlike your normal Vampire Romance, Varenko captures the essence of paranormal with such beauty.
Luella is the queen of vampires, and engaged to Antoine. The problem is that both want to rule the Vampire Realm.
When Antoine sends a mere human to his queen in celebration of their engagement, he never expected her to fall in love with him. In his anger, he has this mortal put to death.
In her devastation, Luella goes on the rampage and seeks her revenge for the death of her loved one. After her killing Antoine on her killing spree, she must be punished.
Her punishment sends her into an infant body where she must endure life as Alice, a human. As she grows, her memories are lost to her. That is until she finds herself fascinated with a man, that she believes is of her dreams.
In an unexpected turn of events, she finds love and her reason for being.
Varenko did a fabulous job with this story. Using poetry to tell this tale, she was able to entice and enthrall, keeping your interest until the very end. The beauty in which Ordeal is written, is both exciting, and completely different than any other "Everyday" vampire romance. Writing in this genre is a bit challenging, but to write in this genre using poetry? Phenomenal!
It truly is Poetic Justice. I give Ordeal ***** (5) Stars, BK Walker, http://bkwalkerbooks.weebly.com
