Review A Rose for Sergei

I absolutely loved this story. It is a true story. From the very first chapter the story just grabs you and keeps your interest. In Russia sending a red rose to someone means their heart is bleeding for you.

This book was written about the time this author spend with Sergei after Sergei defected his position from the KGB. I hope this author writes more books so I can read more by her. If you want to know more about Sergei's life then you need to pick up this book and  read it.

When reading  this story you better have some tissues with you. This is the type of story that you will think about after you finish it. It is such an emotional story. You will become attached to the characters. This story will stay with you for  a while.

The author did an amazing job writing the book. It is of her memories of the time she and Sergei spend together.

If I had a rating system on my blog I would give this book 5 stars all the way.

I am currently  reading  A Rose for Sergei by K. Kidd.

Here is what the book is about.

Improbable – Unbelievable – All True 

My search for independence, and a career with the Federal Government in Washington DC, took me on a journey that far surpassed any expectations. I was twenty-one when I met Sergei Kourdakov, a former KGB agent and Soviet naval intelligence officer who had defected from the Soviet Union. 

The moment we met, Sergei reached for my hand and would not let go. The immediate, heated attraction surprised us both, and changed my life forever. How quickly I learned that, in matters of the heart, love makes its own choices…even when you suspect you're being followed. My memoir is the heartbreaking and intriguing true story of our time together. 

Review for An Unexpected Proposal (Treasured Dreams Book 4)

In the last book An Unexpected Love (Treasured Dreams Book 3). We find out that Holly has to make a life changing decision in her career. Would she sign the contract to let a shop sell her Treasured Creations jewelry or wouldn't she?

In this book An Unexpected Proposal (Treasured Dreams Book 4). We find out that Dave has a job opportunity in Africa. Will this be the end of Holly's and Dave's relationship? Maybe Dave asks Holly a very important question? Will she say yes or would she say no... Hmm, I wonder.

To get the answers you  will need to pick up this book and read it. This series is so interesting and fun to read you will find yourself waiting anxiously for book 5.

A Review of (The Status of All Things)

The gist of the story is about a girl who time travels and changes her life through Facebook  statuses.

I really enjoyed this book. .It is the kind of book  you  can't put down. Everyone who has Facebook would identify with the book. It makes you wish that you could change your life through Facebook statuses.

The stuff that happened in the  book can happen  in real life.

For example... a wedding can be called off or your fiance can really fall for another person. If that really happened... would you try to get the man you are suppose to marry back? Here is my answer I wouldn't.

If you want to find out more I would pick up this book and read it.

Blogging For Creatives Review

I picked up this book at my favorite place... the bookstore. I have been blogging for a while now but  I wanted to learn more about blogging. I found this book to be very informative.

It has great information about how to create a blog, to creating good content and how to plan out your content plan.

It also had information about how to make a video blog. It also talked about how to promote your blog. It also talked about how to  use social media to get your blog noticed.

I would recommend this book because it is a great book for all types of bloggers out there. This book only comes in paperback form.

I am reading The Status of All Things: A Novel  by Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke.

Here is what the book is about.

What would you do if you could literally rewrite your fate—on Facebook? This heartwarming and hilarious new novel from the authors of Your Perfect Life follows a woman who discovers she can change her life through online status updates.

Kate is a thirty-five-year-old woman who is obsessed with social media. So when her fiancé, Max, breaks things off at their rehearsal dinner—to be with Kate’s close friend and coworker, no less—she goes straight to Facebook to share it with the world. But something’s changed. Suddenly, Kate’s real life starts to mirror whatever she writes in her Facebook status. With all the power at her fingertips, and heartbroken and confused over why Max left her, Kate goes back in time to rewrite their history.

Kate's two best friends, Jules and Liam, are the only ones who know the truth. In order to convince them she’s really time traveled, Kate offers to use her Facebook status to help improve their lives. But her attempts to help them don’t go exactly as planned, and every effort to get Max back seems to only backfire, causing Kate to wonder if it’s really possible to change her fate.

In The Status of All Things, Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke combine the humor and heart of Sarah Pekkanen and Jennifer Weiner while exploring the pitfalls of posting your entire life on the Internet. They raise the questions: What if you could create your picture-perfect life? Would you be happy? Would you still be you? For anyone who’s ever attempted—or failed—to be their perfect self online, this is a story of wisdom and wit that will leave you with new appreciation for the true status of your life.
