Susan May Warren~Licensed for Trouble

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

I was sent a free copy of Susan May Warren’s newest PJ Sugar book to review. I’ve been able to read the first two and have enjoyed all 3.
Susan May Warrens writes in a fun easy to read style. Her mysteries always have a nice twist to them. I hate figuring out a mystery before [...]

Music to My Ears!

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

James and I are reading through the Little House series together. We usually read one or two books per year.
If we just plowed straight through the series, we’d have trouble getting all our other literature books read. So, we save them for a delicious treat.
We started the series quite a few years ago, but I [...]

Please forgive me for not adding images to this post! I’m feeling a bit lazy this morning. I’ll put in Amazon links for you though.
I’m reading Spoken from the Heart by Laura Bush. It’s a very pleasant interesting book–I got it free with my Swagbucks!

Stories with a Moral~Any Ideas?

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

James and I stopped at the library tonight. I always love a good trip to the library!
While I was looking at some books waiting for James, a man came in and asked the librarian this question.
“What are some good books–not picture books–with a moral in them?”
She was slightly stumped. I thought of a few but [...]

Staying True~Book Review

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Last year, I saw an interview with the First Lady of South Carolina. You may have heard of her husband’s philandering and the scandal that ensued.
I am NOT in any way a person who follows scandals and keeps up with celebrities. However, when I caught this interview, one of the clips showed her in the [...]

On the book shelf

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Here are some of the books we’re reading around here right now.

I’m an Anne lover just as much as I’m a Laura lover! I put off reading this book because I wasn’t sure that anyone could do it justice. I started it and am enjoying it. So far my only critique is that she’s putting [...]

Ponijao who lives in Namibia with her family, is one of four babies followed from birth to first steps in Thomas Balmès’ BABIES, a Focus Features release.

One of the previews was for Babies. It [...]

Cowboy & Wills

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

I don’t know if you noticed the ad on my sidebar last week. It was for a book called Cowboy & Wills. Shortly after they submitted the ad, I was contacted and asked if I’d like to review the book.
The ad had already touched my heart so I said, “YES!”
I received a copy to review [...]
