Book of the Month
for February 2026

summary:
She was young, beautiful, and the last living heir to the throne. Why wouldn't two brothers fight to influence her?
After an unplanned trip to the doctor’s office, Sevenah Williams discovers that her ancestry is not exactly human.
This shocking news puts her on a course to find the truth about her birth parents and a tragic past that placed her in hiding as a toddler.
Eventually, she takes on her birth name―Eena―and accepts her birthright as the only living heir to the throne of Harrowbeth. But this privilege comes with a price. She learns this during the painful process of physically joining with an heirloom necklace known as the dragon’s soul. From that point on, Queen Eena slowly uncovers powers granted her by the necklace, giving her the ability to manipulate energy—a gift that comes in handy when she faces enemies who wish to see her royal line eliminated.
Eena must fight alongside new friends including Derian, the captain of the Kemeniroc; Kira, a mighty Mishmorat with spunk; and Ian, her best friend and sworn protector. Her greatest challenges, however, turn out to be personal: learning to love, to trust, and to handle adult problems when she simply longs to remain a carefree, high school senior from Earth with no bigger decisions than what to wear to prom.

Summary:
Reality depends a great deal upon one believing what he sees--or seeing what he believes. Either way.
Meet Gavin, a curious young man whose calling it is to guard the gates of his homeland. As a keykeeper, Gavin comes across many outsiders whom he creatively steers away from the borders of his magical world: A world where ogres bowl for their dinner. A world where pirates sail the clouds to plunder diamonds from the night sky. A world where bubbleberries make a person burp out loud. It is a place where anything imaginable is commonplace. All the while, the young keykeeper finds himself increasingly intrigued by stories of the outside. Snooping about, he is captivated by a dreamer who piques his interest in the ordinary.

Media: PaperGenres: Fantasy, Romance, Suspense & Thriller, Fiction & LiteratureLength: 301-400 pages
Vengeance is a monster of appetite, forever bloodthirsty and never filled.Tarishe is a modest village surrounded by walls meant to keep out one thing: werewolves. In truth, the wolves are scarcely bothersome and seldom seen excepting one night a year when a blood-red moon appears. This full moon never fails to herald the arrival of a pack of hairy beasts, drawn to the village like greedy dragons to gold. It is difficult enough to protect a young family in this world of dangerous creatures, but such a feat proves near impossible when a witch bent on vengeance casts a curse that craftily manipulates both heart and mind. A battle for survival is not only with swords but an internal struggle to love those the curse has targeted for hatred, and to hate the one who through evil enchantment manipulates her enemy's affections.

What People Are Saying...

Highly Recommended
From the gloriously beautiful cover to the opening scenes of battle and all the way through pages filled with mythical beasts, haunted creatures, bespelled objects, curses, magic and mayhem, this book reads like a classic fairy tale of old. I couldn't get over the feeling of wonder I felt losing myself within the pages of this unique and compelling story. As our heroine succumbs to the hideous effects of a foul curse over and over again, your heart will be racing along with her to find a way to overcome and finally defeat the many foes arrayed against her. This was such a fabulous take on many of the ancient legends we're all familiar with and it breathes new life into them while still retaining a sense of timelessness. The author's creativity shows a scope of imagination that is breathtaking while still honoring the classics. I would love to see more of this world explored in future books, but I'm up for whatever adventure this author has in store next. Highly recommended. (The Tarishe Curse) ―DTChantel

Relatable
Relationships? Hard work! Richelle E. Goodrich clearly understands this! This poetry, unless my perception is way off, is presented from both female and male perspectives. It’s impossible not to recognize everyone you’ve ever known in this poetry, including yourself!
Lest I was unclear, this was great writing! This is going to my daughter, who loves and writes poetry, next. She’s going to love it! (A Heart Made of Tissue Paper) ―John W.

Summary:
She was young, beautiful, and the last living heir to the throne. Why wouldn't two brothers fight to influence her?

Which rival has the power to convince her of his nobleness to gain her ultimate support?

Summary:
Annabelle, the girl who was overlooked, unwanted, insignificant, worthless.
Annabelle Fancher lives with her mother and her often-absent, alcoholic father. When he is not on the road, his presence at home creates heightened anxiety in his wife and daughter—fear caused by years of abuse. Annabelle copes with her circumstances by escaping into popular fairy tales where she dreams characters to life. When her dreams cross over into waking fantasies, and the ghostly image of a dreamed character appears before her, Annabelle begins a real struggle to separate reality from pretend and sanity from beautiful madness.
This brave, young girl tenderly acquaints the reader with her lonely struggles while sharing her courage in the face of personal adversity. Hers is a story where realism and fantasy beautifully intertwine.
This fictional tale does an honest job of mirroring the unfortunate reality of many young people whose home lives are private nightmares unobserved by the outside world. Most of the events in this book were taken from the lives of individuals known by the author.
Summary:
When it comes to fighting for your dreams, be a dragon. Breathe fire.
Slaying Dragons: Quotes, Poetry, & a Few Short Stories for Every Day of the Year is the next in a collection of inspirational books by American author and novelist, Richelle E. Goodrich. In the same style as its predecessors, Smile Anyway and Making Wishes, Slaying Dragons offers original quotes, poetry, and the occasional story to ponder, including the popular following:
"There are tomorrows on their way worth the struggles of today. Never give up."
“I can overlook the lie; what's harder to ignore is the grotesque way it has marred your character.”
“Too often we let others stamp a price tag on us and we accept their appraisal of our worth, forgetting we are in fact priceless.”
“Habits grow like dragons if you feed them.”
This book was written to entertain, inspire, and motivate individuals on a daily basis.

Summary:
Vengeance is a monster of appetite, forever bloodthirsty and never filled.
Tarishe is a modest village surrounded by fortress walls meant to keep out one thing: werewolves. In truth, the wolves are scarcely bothersome and seldom seen excepting one night a year when a blood-red moon appears. This full Tarishe moon never fails to herald the arrival of an entire pack of hairy beasts, drawn to the village like greedy dragons to golden treasure.
It is difficult enough to protect a young family in this world of dangerous creatures, but such a feat proves near impossible when an old witch bent on vengeance casts a curse that manipulates both heart and mind. The battle for survival is not only with a sword but an internal struggle to love those the curse has targeted for hatred, and to hate the one who through evil enchantment manipulates her enemy’s affections. How long will it take to learn that the old monster, vengeance, is insatiable?
This Tarishe tale is a thrilling piece of fiction told from the Queen of Werefolk's point of view.
Summary:
I have come to the conclusion that there are some things only God can teach a person, and His lessons come in the form of personalized life experiences.
The next in a line of inspirational and motivational books. In the same vein as Smile Anyway, Making Wishes, Slaying Dragons, and Being Bold, Hope Evermore includes quotes, poetry, and a number of short stories. Enjoy a profound thought for every day of the year, including the popular following:
"Love accepts you as yourself. It will never ask you to be someone else."
"It may look crazy to you, but if you had traveled another’s road in their shoes, you would see and understand the underlying sanity in their actions. This is why we should love more and judge less."
"It may look crazy to you, but if you had traveled another’s road in their shoes, you would see and understand the underlying sanity in their actions. This is why we should love more and judge less."
