To get into the Christmas season I am reading Christmas Jars by Jason F Wright. I heard that there was a movie playing in some theaters not all a month ago. I didn’t get to see it because it wasn’t playing any where near me. I will be posting a review soon.

Review: Pumpkin Everything by Beth Labonte

Here is a summary of what the book is about. After calling off her fall wedding, horror novelist Amy Fox is left with a broken heart, a mega case of writer's block, and a serious aversion to all things pumpkin spice. When she receives news that her grandfather has broken his wrist driving through a Dunkin Donuts- literally straight through the front windows- five hundred miles away, in her hometown of Autumnboro, New Hampshire, Amy has no choice but to return to check on him. If she doesn't make sure that he's back on his feet, Grandpa may be moved into assisted living, and Amy's beloved childhood home will be put on the market.

Knowing she must return, Amy worries about the only thing worse than pumpkin spice- a reunion with Kit Parker- her childhood best friend, first love, and entire reason for skipping town in the first place. As the two reconnect, a second chance seems possible... if only Kit weren't holding on to a secret that just might unravel everything.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is the perfect book to read for fall. I did not want the story to end. I thought it was well written. I just love happy endings. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Review: The Rest of the Story by Sarah Dessen

Here is a summary of what the book is about. Emma Saylor doesn't remember a lot about her mother, who died when Emma was twelve. But she does remember the stories her mom told her about the big lake that went on forever, with cold, clear water and mossy trees at the edges.

Now it's just Emma and her dad, and life is good, if a little predictable...until Emma is unexpectedly sent to spend the summer with her mother's family that she hasn't seen since she was a little girl.

When Emma arrives at North Lake, she realizes there are actually two very different communities there. Her mother grew up in working class North Lake, while her dad spent summers in the wealthier Lake North resort. The more time Emma spends there, the more it starts to feel like she is also divided into two people. To her father, she is Emma. But to her new family, she is Saylor, the name her mother always called her.

Then there's Roo, the boy who was her very best friend when she was little. Roo holds the key to her family's history, and slowly, he helps her put the pieces together about her past. It's hard not to get caught up in the magic of North Lake- and Saylor finds herself falling under Roo's spell as well.

For Saylor, it's like a whole new world is opening up to her. But when it's time to go back home, which side of her- Emma or Saylor- will win out?

I enjoyed reading this book. I found it to be interesting. I thought the book was written very well. This is the first book I have read by Sarah Dessen. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Review: Brave Love: Making Space for You to Be You by Lisa Leonard

Here is a summary of what the book is about. Women today feel pressure to be the best wife, mom, and professional possible - often at the expense of  their own identity. But what if you could experience deep peace- knowing you are loved right now, just as you are? In Brave Love, the founder of the multi- million dollar company Lisa Leonard Designs inspires women to find themselves again amidst the noise and competing demands of real life.

Brave Love is about what it means to be human, how it feels to be broken and afraid, and what happens when we dare to love deeply. Join Lisa on a journey where you will discover you  are worthy and lovable just as you are. You don't have to try harder or be better. You don't have to prove yourself and you don't have to make others okay. In this freedom you will find more peace  and more joy. Most importantly you will learn that as you stop trying to be everything to everyone, you will love others better.

Wow this book is amazing. I loved it.  I couldn't put this book down. I would highly recommend it. I felt this story was real  and honest. The author did a wonderful job writing it.

Review: God Moments for Women by Carolyn Larsen

Here is a summary of what the book is about. With the stress of everyday life, spending time with the Lord can be challenging. This devotional makes it easy to find just a couple minutes to spend time with the Lord no matter where you are. Use it to reconnect with God whenever you feel moved.

I absolutely loved this little book. It is a short quick read. I found it to be very inspirational. I believe every woman should read this book. The devotions are only a page long. You can put this book in a coat pocket or a handbag and carry it with you wherever you go to connect with God. I would highly recommend this book.


Happy Reading Everyone!

Review: Eyes on Me by Rachel Harris

Here is a summary of what the book is about. Look up the word "nerd" and you'll find Lily Bailey's picture. She's got one goal: first stop valedictorian, next stop Harvard. Until a stint in the hospital from too much stress lands her in the last place a klutz like her ever expected to be: salsa dance lessons.

Look up the word "popular" and you'll find Stone Torres's picture. His life seems perfect- star of the football team, small- town hero, lots of friends. But his family is struggling to make ends meet, so if pitching in at his mom's dance studio helps, he'll do it.

When Lily's dad offers Stone extra cash to volunteer as Lily's partner, he can't refuse. But with each dip and turn, each moment her hand is in his, his side job starts to feel all too real. Lily shows Stone he's more than his impressive football stats, and he introduces her to a world outside of studying. But with the lines blurred, can their relationship survive the secret he's been hiding?

I absolutely loved this book. I just love a happy ending. I thought this book was well written. I love all of Rachel Harris books. I am looking forward to reading more books by her.

It was now or never" Bryony Masters has been looking for her long- lost sister, Hannah, for years, but when their father has a stroke her search takes on  new urgency. So when primetime game show, What Happens in France, puts a call- out for new contestants, Bryony spots the ultimate public platform to find her reality TV - obsessed sister, and finally reunite their family.

With the help of handsome Lewis, it's not long before she's on a private jet heading for  the stunning beauty of rural France.

Blog Update

Hey Everyone
I want to apologize for not keeping my blog updated lately. I have been busy with my knitting business. On another note my husband and I are going through something very personal I don’t want to talk about it. Don’t worry it has nothing to do with our marriage we are doing good. We will be going out of town for a while. I will try to do some reading while we are gone but it will be hard because we are going to be busy. I hope everyone is having a good week.
