A Well-Crafted Home

I recently read through a copy of A Well-Crafted Home by Janet Crowther. What a delight!  This DIY book for your home is gorgeous.  The photos are inspiring to say the least.  Each project is unique and directions are for anyone's skill level.  So many creative ideas in one stunning book.  It's a must have and I can't wait to share it with my son and daughter in law for their new home.

This book was given to me in exchange for a fair and honest review from blogging for books.

Q & A a Day for Grandparents

I am not sure exactly what I was expecting but this is a much different approach to keeping a journal for your grandchild.

The format of a small paragraph each day for 3 years seems a bit overwhelming at first.  My first thought was that most grandparents don't spend every day with their grandchild.  After more reflection I realized that this might be something to do once your grandchild is a bit more than an infant.  The thought provoking questions will give you starting points.  What a great way to reflect on your relationship with your grandchild over 3 years and beyond !!

Say Yes to the Holiday Cookies

The ultimate Holiday Cookie Book has arrived.  My favorite part of the book is that it uses normal easy to find ingredients. There are color photos on every page and my daughter and I struggled to decide which ones to make first.  You will LOVE adding this to your cookbook collection. 

Deal or Duel - For History Buffs

My daughter-in-law is a big history buff.  I knew this game would appeal to her.  Since she works in the history department at the local college she was super excited to take this to work and play with the students. I know it will get tons of use there! Great Idea !!

White Fur

From the description I was hoping for a story I could dive into and travel to another time and place.  I struggled thru the first few pages and wasn't interested.  I set it down.  Read another book.  Willing to try again, I started from the beginning again.  Still I could not stick with it.  Sometimes a book just isn't your style.  This wasn't mine.  I will share with my little free library readers. 

The Heirs

I honestly tried to get involved and interested in this book but it just wasn't for me.  I usually try to give a book the first 100 pages till i give up.  Wasn't going to happen this time.  I felt like the characters didn't come alive for me.  I struggled with some of the words.  Overall just not my type of book.  I put this book out in the little free library at the office where I work.  I am sure someone will fall in love with it!

Here and Gone - Haylen Beck - Your summer read - Thank me later

I just finished Haylen Beck's new novel Here and Gone.  He had me at chapter one.  I haven't had a book that had my attention like this in awhile.  It was gripping, suspenseful, and had my heart pumping a few times.  The characters were intense and the story drew you in.  I am headed to the library today to look for more books by this author. By the way I have already picked out actors to play the parts of Whiteside, Collins, Mitchell, Audra and Danny in my head.  Maybe even Mrs. Gerber.  Would make a fantastic thriller movie !!
