Living With Purpose
Multiples Illuminated – a book review Did you just discover that you are pregnant . . . with twins, triplets or more? I remember EXACTLY the moment that the ultrasound technician told me there were TWO heart beats. TWO? I had a just-turned-four-year-old and a 16-month-old at home, and this was a surprise I was […]
Once again, I’m pleased to host a blog tour by Novel Publicity. I haven’t done one in awhile, but when they told me the author was CJ Lyons, I jumped at the chance! CJ is a best selling author in the thriller genre, and I’ve been following her for several years. I heard her on […]
I love a good romantic mystery book! I received an advance review copy of this book to share with my readers. I hope you’ll enjoy this short excerpt from Hiding In Plain Sight by Angela Evans. An excerpt: Kierra’s chest suddenly felt too tight to take a breath. She desperately wanted to tell him to […]
Friends! I am so very, very excited to share this book with you: Simple Giving by Jennifer Iacovelli. Jennifer is not only a very close personal friend, but she is the creator of Philanthropy Friday, a series on her blog dedicated to sharing how others are making a difference in the world. My son Bug recently guest […]
I have been reading whenever I can find the time this summer. And I’ve read three really great books I’d like to share. They are all completely different kind of books, but all of them were great reads. Ashley’s War by Gayle Tzemach Lemmon This book rocked my world. As a blogger who likes to […]
Logos I am a sucker for historical fiction books. I was intrigued by this one when Emlyn of Novel Publicity reached out for reviewers because it was described as an historical fiction that was about Christianity but not in a religious sense – in a historical sense. It is about the man who would anonymously […]
Doesn’t that just sound lovely?? I thought so too. I do need to disclose that I received a free review copy of the book in exchange for my review…and I’m so glad I did. What an adorable book! Seriously. The story is cute – a tale of adventure in the mice world. The pictures are […]
In April 2014 I had the opportunity to review Christopher Datta’s historical fiction Touched with Fire. I loved this book. It is a book based on actual events and people in the Civil War. This particular book was about Ellen Craft, a slave who was so light skinned people believed she was white. She was […]
This house needs a mouse! Okay, MY house does not need a mouse – at least I didn’t think so until we read This House Needs a Mouse by C. Jeffrey Nunnally. By the way, I was provided a copy in exchange for my review, but all opinions are my own. Isn’t it […]
Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve worn spandex, so if mine was stolen, I probably wouldn’t even notice. So clearly I’m not talking about me here. I’m really happy to help my friend Marcia Kester Doyle announce the launch of her first book: Who Stole my Spandex?: Midlife Musings from a Middle Aged […]
THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING! It’s Monday, November 24th, three days prior to Thanksgiving, and I have already done my Black Friday shopping. What?? Yes, thank you Kohl’s. And I think my children are going to be pretty happy this year. While I don’t have to go face the in-store madness, I still dread the other […]
My favorite books are definitely suspense, thriller, and even horror. My favorite authors include James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, Stephen King, and Dean Koontz… to name a few. I love getting lost in the mystery. I love the way my heart rushes from suspense. I just love reading. So, it is so fitting that I get to […]
All Things Are Possible with God… Really, this would be the last verse in which I would expect a mother, who just lost her twelve-year-old son, to find comfort. But Anna does. On September 8, 2011, Anna sent her two children out to play, but only her daughter came back. Three years ago today, she […]
If you had to choose a super power, would you want to be a truth reader, a healer, have magical powers, or be immortal? As I read the book Cephrael’s Hand, this is the question I asked myself. In this truly spellbinding epic fantasy, there are characters with all of these powers and more. I […]
