I have been visiting blogs throughout the blogsphere and reading wonderful reviews of books that have been supplied by publishers and authors. I would love to start reviewing books but do not know how to get started or who to contact. If anyone can steer me in the right direction I would love it if you would leave me a note of how I can get started or who I need to contact.
Have a blessed day!

I'm Ready to Finish a Wonderful Book...but it's hard to say goodbye.


I don't know what the weather is like where you live, but here in Northeast Indiana it's beginning to look alike like winter. It snow flurried most of the day yesterday and today I don't believe the temperature rose above 41 degrees. I love this time of year but my body isn't ready for it yet. I have been cold for two days straight...just can't seem to warm up.
I am getting ready to curl up under my afghan and finish the last few pages of a wonderful book. If you've read a previous post of mine you will know that I am a fan of Sarah Sundin. I have about 25 pages left to read in A Memory Between Us and I hate to say goodbye to Jack & Ruth. I guess what makes me the saddest is Ms. Sundin's third book in the series won't be out until next fall. :(
If you haven't tried either of her books please pick up a copy of A Distant Melody & A Memory Between Us. You won't be disappointed.

Kindle, Nook or Sony E-Reader
I'm perplexed. I really, really want to get an e-reader. Don't get me wrong I still plan on buying and reading a book with paper and ink on pages...I love the smell of a new book, don't you. I love the smell of a library too. But I would really like to be able to add to my libray by owning an e-reader. But which won should I put on my Christmas wish list?
If you have an e-reader can you share with me which one you have and if you love it or don't love it? Can anyone give me some advice as to which one is the best? I can use all the input I can get. Thank you in advance for your help!

The Anonymous Bride

I am an avid reader. I love reading Chritian Fiction the most. Especially Christian Romantic Suspense and Christian Historicals. I am currently near the end of a very good book, The Anonymous Bride, by Vickie McDonough. An absolute wonderful read I must say. It boils down to lies told, secrets kept and forgiveness given. This is the first book I have read by Ms. McDonough but I must say it definitely will NOT be the last. She has mastered her characters and dialects of the time period. If I were to grade it I would have to give it five stars!

It Feels Like Autumn...but...
Wow! The weather the last couple of days, here in Northeast Indiana, has been wonderful. High 70's with a crisp breeze in the evenings. Too bad it's going to climb back into the 90's by the weekend. My poor old body has a hard time adapting to abrupt weather changes. I tend towards sinus infections every time the seasons change.
How do you contend with severe weather changes? Does your body adapt well or do you tend to have trouble adapting?
May you have a wonderful blessed day!
Thank you for stopping by. :)

Books by Sarah Sundin

I love books! I have a passion for the written word. I absolutely cringe when I see someone mistreat a book. My family knows that if they look at or read one of my books they MUST handle it with care. I know some of you might think that's a little strange, but I treat my books as the precious child of each author. I take care of them.
Once in awhile I come across a book that pulls me in and won't let me go. I think about it long after I've read the last sentence. "A Distant Melody", by Sarah Sundin is a book like that. I fell in love with the book from the moment i read the first page & found myself in Riverside, California...my hometown.

Ms. Sundin's characters come alive on the page. Her settings are well researched...she had me walking the streets of my old hometown as if I were right there. Her knowledge of a B-17 showed that she believes in doing thorough research.
Her newest book,
"A Memory Between Us", is due to come out next month and I can hardly wait to purchase a copy.

Children are smarter then you think!
We had two young children come to church today. We have a very small church so we don't have young children very often. I was their Sunday school teacher and I was blown away. The little girl is seven years old and her little brother is five. I read them the story of Noah and the Ark, then while they were coloring pictures of Noah and the animals, I asked them questions of what I had read to them and they both fed me back the story. I was quite impressed, especially since neither child have really attended Sunday School.
The rest of today I am going to just "veg". I'm tired. Couldn't sleep much last night. I lay there in bed most of the night creating a city in my mind. Why? Because my characters are badgering me to put their stories down on paper and they need a town to run around in. :) I'm getting closer to committing them...some of them need committed!
Well, I hope and pray you have a wonderful day today! Remember too that God loves you!
Smiles & Blessings to you all!
