Yippie! I finished the first review batch and enjoyed each of the books. And I have three more to announce today. Before I share about the books I would like to mention that the next month will be a busy one. I’ll be taking some time away from the computer to fit in moving to a new flat and some travel. I may be without internet access for a bit. I’m hoping I won’t be out of touch for too long, but last time it took a lot longer than I anticipated. So I’m bracing for the worst. I’ll do my best to keep in touch and if anyone sends me a review request, please be patient. You may not hear back from me right away.
Now that the boring stuff is out of the way, let’s get to fun bit: the books!
Dancing in Heaven: By Christine M Grote
Dancing in Heaven is an inspirational story about my sister Annie s life, death, and her significance in the lives of those of us who loved her and others who were touched by her. Born with severe brain damage, Annie never outgrew the needs of an infant. She didn’t walk or talk. Our parents fed her, changed her clothes, and lifted her from her bed to her wheelchair and back for her entire life of 51 years. This memoir provides a window into my family’ s life with a severely disabled member. But more importantly, Dancing in Heaven is a testimony to the basic intrinsic value of human life.
Minutes before Sunset: By Shannon A. Thompson
Eric Welborn isn’t completely human, but he isn’t the only shade in the small Midwest town of Hayworth. With one year left before his eighteenth birthday, Eric is destined to win a long-raging war for his kind. But then she happens. In the middle of the night, Eric meets a nameless shade, and she’s powerful—too powerful—and his beliefs are altered. The Dark has lied to him, and he’s determined to figure out exactly what lies were told, even if the secrets protect his survival.
Broken Star: By Joann Lee
From the outside looking in, Lynn Feoras seemingly has everything a woman could desire. With numerous platinum selling CDs, lavish homes, and the ability to bring down the house with her powerful vocals, who could want for more?
Alexis Donatella is a jaded SVU officer who has no tolerance for the rich and famous. She has devoted her life to raising her daughter and to the Florida division of the Special Victims Unit. Venturing into a relationship is the furthest thing from her mind.
When Alexis and Lynn meet on the sandy beaches, sparks do not exactly fly, at least not for Alexis. When you add in a rambunctious child, a tragic secret from Lynn’s past, and obstacles no one could have foreseen, it makes for one frenzied summer.
In the midst of madness, is it possible for these two women to find love?
I can’t wait to read these! Have a wonderful few weeks everyone!
Oh yippee—more books and one that I actually have read!!!! Have fun!!!! And watch your back with that move!
I’m looking forward to reading them. Might be good that I won’t have internet access–more reading time. Will to my best with my back. Thanks!
Oooh, need to look for Minutes Before Midnight. That looks awesome!! Don’t forget your medicine LOL!
Will let you know soon about Minutes Before Midnight. And I never forget my medicine. I’m dedicated to my health.
Ok, I have to ask. How many books exactly are you reading at the same time. Every time I look at your Goodreads updates, there is a steady stream of books that you have rated. Please tell me that some of these are books you have read in the past that you are just now getting around to rating on Goodreads? You’re not actually reading like 12 at once like it seems are you?
I’ve been adding the books from my 1001 list onto my 1001 shelf. But I usually read 3 to 4 at a time. I like variety 😉 But I think I finally added all the 1001 books so the updates will slow down. Have a great week!
Phew! I was beginning to think that you were the world’s greatest speed reader, and I was about to call the Guinness Book of World Records LOL!! Have a great holiday :).
Truth be told, I’m a slow reader. I love words and like to linger over them. Holiday is going well even with a slight sunburn on my left foot and right thigh. I’m not good at applying sunscreen apparently. Hope you are having a great week!
I’m a pretty fast reader, but I do find myself reading sections over and over if I really love the way the words flow :). Now remember that sunscreen silly and have fun :).
We had a blast. Now getting ready for the move. Hope all is well with you.
I’m so glad you had a great trip! Things are busy here but good :).
Good to hear. Not the busy part, but the good part. Make time for reading!
Never fear, I always make time for reading 🙂
