"Talking to the Dead" -Grove

Talking to the Dead by Bonnie Grove

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Sometimes we don't see those giant red warning flags because they're just too unbearably painful to deal with. For Kate they turned into gaping holes in her memory in the months leading up to her husbands' untimely death. Seeking help she meets some quirky (& comical) characters, but finds friendship, hope, & love in unexpected places. The gaping holes are slowly filled in, and a painful story of betrayal is revealed. For me this book was about dealing with past hurts, healing the wounds, and starting over fresh. Moving forward to new possibilities & not living & rehashing past pains into our present lives today. This book inspires me & holds a place in my heart.

"Salvaged" -Miller

Salvaged by Stefne Miller

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is an amazing book about a girl that loses mother & best friend in one instant. It's about life, loss, love, living, boundaries, hope, forgiveness, God and so much more. I didn't want the book to end and it seemed like the characters were my best friends and family. This is a YA read for the young and young-at-heart!

"This Side of Heaven" -Kingsbury

This Side of Heaven by Karen Kingsbury

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book is so good! It taught me that being successful in the eyes of the world, may not necessarily be considered successful to God. Only God sees all that we truly and do.
It also reminded me to tell my family & friends that I love them often because life is fragile and without guarantees. At the end of the book, the author shares her inspiration for the book, and it just touched my heart so deep. You'll just have to read it for yourself!

"Jane Erye"

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is my favorite classic! It was a bit racier than I expected for its time! It took me a while to adapt to the old language & grammer, but once I did, I LOVED it! It's a must read!

"So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore"

So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore by Wayne Jacobsen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book was great! I'd give it 4 1/2 stars if I could!
Even though it is a work of fiction, I was skeptical about reading it, thinking it would attempt to talk me out of going to church. Surprisingly, it brought up many valid points that some decisions based on the needs of the church as a building may interfere with the best interests of its members or God. It also made me think a lot about what we, as a society, teach our children.
I took away so many amazing messages from this book & haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I read it about a month ago. See for yourself!

Update

So I'm not so much into art currently (except for my pottery on Tuesday nights!). My latest "thing" is reading (in the sun) so I'm thinking about creating a book blog.

I'm obsessed with GoodReads.com which U can also get to through FaceBook.

Hope all is well! Stay tuned!
