B.R.A.G.Medallion Honoree – This tells a reader that this book is well worth their time and money!

Adversity – Endurance – Survival – Forgiveness

Never Waste Dreams— takes you back to the year 1871, as the saga of two young pioneer couples continues. They began their journey in the award-winning novel, Never Waste Tears.

Carl, Hannah, Nathan, and Sarah each take you with them in their essence and dialect. They struggle for their family. They show grit and determination for their land. They open their hearts for those who join them, as a new voice is added, saying, “I couldn’t help but wonder how much our life was going to change in ways I had not even considered.”

Can they find forgiveness for those who’ve brought them pain? Can they survive when nature’s invasion of the land takes away their livelihood?

Rejoice with them when they prosper. Weep with them in their time of despair.

Emphasis in the original.

You are born of scam; shall die in scam. Everyone is scamming others. What better expected of the most depraved-dangerous half animal-half human, 7.5-billion strong species? Fear, anger, attitude, denial, deception as proceeds of the scam are the pandemics this species loves. Scared of death, yet trades it most. Reality can de-scam lives. But, who cares? Ignorance is bliss, perfect; till death!

…and another three big paragraphs of that.

Savannah doesn’t really want to go out with Mark, a guy from college, but he keeps asking. She agrees in the hope that he’ll leave her alone afterwards. But instead of a date, Mark has something else planned for her. He drugs her and sells her to an auction house, where she is sold to Adam.
Adam inherited his parents’ island, where they worked to master their dream of solving the human genetic code, making a weapon, which is strong yet undetectable. They make clone warrior men.
They can’t resist and make a set, using their son’s DNA too, giving him little brothers who all look exactly like him so he has someone to play with and someone to help him protect the island.
Many years after his parents’ tragic death at sea, Adam comes to realize that he wants a normal life. One where he would have a wife and a child. Maybe even several children. The children wouldn’t be exact copies of him. They would be unique, like his wife…

That’s less than half of the full blurb, but I think you get the picture. (h/t Curtis)

When Balagir awakens at the fire with no recollection of his past, he discovers he is an ashen—a mysterious group of black-eyed vagabonds, addicted to the smoke they must pay the ghostly piper in exchange for power. With the help of the kalaqai (a sentient spark) and a band of nefarious companions, Balagir will have to traverse the northern wilds, cross seas and survive foreign wars if he is to discover the truth behind the Ashen Levels.

What the what, now?

Freak. Is it the subconscious voice of the mentally broken or an eternal being that feeds on the weakest among us? You decide.

That’s the whole description.

On the bloody trail of a cunning enemy, an ex-confederate soldier, Nolan, a tracker leading the US Cavalry, is driven by revenge. He finds restoration in an unlikely friendship—the son of the man who murdered his family—a distraction that could get them all killed. And the lives of ten innocent women are also at stake.

Okay, quick — how many people is that first sentence talking about?
