"Good in Bed" by Jennifer Weiner

One of the most well written books I have ever read. It pulls you in and keeps you there. When you reach the end, you know how it goes on. It's a story that will make you smile and laugh, make you sad and cry. It's a book that will move your heart and open your eyes to how things are.

We get one chance in life. Live it to your fullest.

Jennifer Weiner is one of my FAVORITE authors. She brings humor and realities. She makes you feel good about yourself. She's one of a kind. 

"Lessons from Lucy" by Dave Barry

It's funny how life shows us different ways of looking at the world whether it's from your children, spouse, parents, or yes, dog.  We are sent from one school to another and then off to the job market before we can think and get so busy in our lives that we fail to broaden our perspectives.

Lucy is an amazing dog and does a remarkable job in helping her owner see life in a different light. It's very well written and has some very humorous parts which makes the book that much better. An easy read and one that you will want to share with your family and friends. 

Do you have a dog who shows you the beauty of life? Protects you from danger? Takes care of you when you're sick? It's with these thoughts in mind that Lucy showed her owner a different perspective.

A wonderful read. 

"The Factory Girls of Lark Lane" by Pam Howes

Liverpool, England. It was WWII and the men were called to war. When they left, the country needed bomber planes built and it was the women who stood up and made it happen.

The wonders of how people came together in a very difficult time. They helped each other out and shared what they could.

Life on Lark Lane was one of perseverance, loyalty, dedication, kindness and pulling together. It was a time of doing all you could to survive and keep your home as well as you could.

The Factory Girls of Lark Lane is a book where you find yourself screaming when the fighter planes go over and where you find yourself smiling and laughing when friends and family find ways of enjoying themselves. It's a book where, when the men come home, you smile and cry. The war is over. The men are back and everyone is ecstatic.

What a beautifully written book. Pick up a copy. You'll enjoy it

"Night Road" by Kristin Hannah

Tears fall as the last page was turned. Tears of joy. Tears of sorrow. Tears of loss. Tears of happiness. That's what "Night Road" has done to me. It moved me. It made me see how fragile life really is. It made me feel the love. It made me feel the hope and dreams. It also made me cry. 

There is nothing like a well written book. Wow. This is a keeper. Please pick up a copy and escape into a world where you'll laugh and cry and wonder and hope.

"The Great Alone" by Kristin Hannah

"The Great Alone" is a brilliant work of art. Kristin's writing style is so easy to read and describes the world around you as you read with beauty.

Life is a challenge for each and every one of us. How many of us would move up to Alaska (into the unknown) without first seeing where you were moving? The beauty of Alaska is astounding. I've been there but Kristin's descriptors make it more beautiful than I ever saw. I never saw the northern lights but they are in this book.

This is a book about life. This is a book about love and survival and more.

I loved this book. Wish it didn't end.

Pick up a copy. You'll be SO glad you did!

"Parade of Horribles" by Rhett DeVane

What a fun book to read! Rhett has done wonders with words. This story reinforces the word "friend". Life in a small town means that, yes, everyone knows everyone. They are there to help each other, listen to each other, and support each other. More like an extended family.

Enter the world Rhett has created. Relax and enjoy the people and the scenery. It's a beautiful town. I wish I could go down to Jake's flower shop and have him create a piece for me. He's so very talented! Yes, there's lots more.

Things happen to all of us. In this book, the parade of horribles is a list of things that happen. The wonders of what happens will make you smile, feel sad and anxious. I found myself laughing a few times. Now that's a wonder when reading!

Pick up a copy of "Parade of Horribles" and visit the town.

"Secondhand Sister" by Rhett DeVane

"Secondhand Sister" is a well written, get back to the basics kind of book. Rhett's humor comes through the book to the point where you laugh. The characters in the book are so well described that they come out to meet you. It's wonderful how they get together to work together and become a great big family.

I LOVE Rhett's writing style!

Sometimes you need a book to relax with. This easy to read book is one you can do that with. 

Pick up a copy and enter the world, laugh and wonder.
