Wow,
Out of curiosity, I decided to see if I could find any independent reviews about my book "A Pagan Pregnancy". I found this one today and thought I would share it with you.
It is in another language, but I was able to use Google to translate it.
I always appreciate reviews such as this. As a first time author, I know I do not possess the knowledge to writing the perfect book. Her thoughts and critiques are honest and expose what areas I could improve upon. So I thought I would share it with you.

Many thanks to her for her kind words! I hope with each book I write, be it non-fiction or fiction (which I am currently working on) I will improve in my writing ability.
Sincerely,
Crystal

Book Review: Will You Love Me Still? by Valya Boutenko
Will You Love Me Still? by Valya Boutenko
Published by Raw Family
www.rawfamily.com
ISBN: 978-09704819-8-6
$8.95
Without going into great detail, this book is about a little girl and her cat and shows the relationship of unconditional love between the two.
Not only did I like the book, but my two sons loved it as well! I originally wanted this book for my 2 1/2 year old. One of the plus's about this book is its sturdy construction. This book will survive for quite some time and is very durable. As I read this book to my "baby", my older son was at our dining room table doing his homework. As I read allowed to my youngest Shaunnessy, in the corner of my eye, I would see Lancer (my oldest) fidgeting at the table. Lancer was actually trying to position himself closer to us to hear the story himself. After I completed the story, Lancer asked if he could read it himself. Of course I said sure. For a book to grab his attention and want to read it himself, is fantastic since he does not like to read at all.
Even thought the story is about a girl and her cat, the story itself has great meaning to both myself as a parent as well as to my children. Lancer and I have recently discussed things that children may do and get in trouble but no matter what their parents still love them very much. This book reinforced that concept for my family. The illustrations captured both my attention as well as that of my two sons. My boys liked the book so much that later in the evening, I could hear Lancer talking to Shaunessy in his bedroom. I opened the door a crack and seen the two of them on his bed and Lancer was actually reading to his baby brother! That has never happened before!
I would recommend this book to anyone.
Sincerely,
Crystal
