Give It A Chance!

Evening Loverlies! I have finished reading One More Last Chance by Cathleen Armstrong. First thing I will share with y'all is the synopsis found on Goodreads.

Sarah Cooley has come home to Last Chance, New Mexico, for one reason–because it doesn't change. After an engagement gone bad with a man who wanted to change everything about her, Sarah is more than ready for the town whose motto may as well be, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Chris Reed, on the other hand, wants nothing more than to spark some change in the little town. As the new owner of the Dip ‘n’ Dine, he’s shaking things up to draw folks from all over the Southwest into his restaurant. As it turns out, the winds of change are blowing into Last Chance–just not in the ways that Sarah or Chris might expect. With the same evocative writing and fascinating characters that won fans for her debut novel, Cathleen Armstrong invites readers back to Last Chance for a soul-searching, romantic story of two people navigating the twists and turns of small-town life.

This book is the second book of the A Place To Call Home novels, but they are easily read without reading the other books I have noticed. This book just seems like a perfect movie for Hallmark, I am hoping there is a movie of it already. If there isn't a movie made of it, there should be. It was a very sweet story about overcoming some life struggles that can be hard. As I read more into it I got really anxious just to see what will happen, and this author did not disappoint with what happens. lol Reading this book makes me want to live in the country, even though I'm sure once I was there, I probably would go bonkers. I like being able to look around at stores whenever I can, but it does make me miss the country. The people in this town Last Chance seemed to always want to help one another. It makes me hope that I can be as kind and giving as they are. Sometimes with my anxiety it will make ya wanna just be a hermit, when really deep down ya just want a friend there. I loved Elizabeth, sarah's grandmother, she was very kind and you knew she was a God fearing woman. I would love to be a grandmother like that when I get older. :) Again this was a very sweet and great story to read. Reading this book will not be a waste of your time, so give it a chance. 
Have A Blessed night!

Hope For A Perfect Spring

Evening Loverlies! I have just finished reading One Perfect Spring written by Irene Hannon. This book is very sweet and has romance. To be honest I wouldn't say it was my favorite book to read, because the author wrote this book in about four different point of views.  Every time I read a book in this writing style I always picture it as being portrayed better in a movie, I believe it would be easier to follow.  I found the story lovely seeing how certain relationships played out. It seemed like perfect coincidences with God playing a role in their lives bringing them all together. I find it very neat when that seems to happen in real life. While reading I did find myself hoping for each relationship/scenario to turn out well. This book just shows how interesting it can be when God does intertwine certain lives together, and how it plays a role in the friends and family around them. If this book seems to peek your interest, then give it a chance! You can purchase this book on amazon here

 Goodreads Synopsis:
 Claire Summers is a determined, independent single mother who is doing her best to make lemonade out of the lemons life has handed her. Keith Watson is a results-oriented workaholic with no time for a social life. As the executive assistant to a local philanthropic businessman, he’s used to fielding requests for donations. But when a letter from Claire’s eleven-year-old daughter reaches his desk, everything changes. The girl isn’t asking for money, but for help finding the long-lost son of an elderly neighbor. As Keith digs reluctantly into this complicated assignment, he has no idea how intertwined his life and Claire’s will become–nor how one little girl’s kindhearted request will touch so many lives and reap so many blessings. Through compelling characters and surprising plot twists, Irene Hannon offers readers this tenderhearted story of family connections that demonstrates how life is like lilacs–the biggest blooms often come only after the harshest winters.

Did You Find Me?

Afternoon Loverlies!! I got a few bucks for Christmas so I went to Hastings. I found some books for 3.99 each. How awesome!! I was just wanting to get some new books that aren't normally what I read. I found two I liked. :) I have finished one of them, ready to read the other. So excited!! lol This book I just finished is Come and Find Me written by Hallie Ephron. I normally read fantasy books, this is not one of those. It is about a woman named Diana, who used to be very active. Her boyfriend Daniel and their friend Jake would travel a lot. They enjoyed hiking and climbing mountains. They were also hackers. They would hack companies just to show them how they needed to make their security stronger. After one incident of them hacking into medical files, Diana read about how a patient had died because of the files being messed up. The doctors and nurses didn't know how much medicine to give the woman. Diana was sad and told Daniel and Jake that they needed to stop the hacking and do something better. The guys agreed, and to celebrate they went to the Swiss mountains to go climbing.

There was an accident while they were climbing and Daniel fell to his death. That sent Diana into deep depression and anxiety. She decided to move into the house she grew up in and Jake set up a security system with cameras for her. She was too scared to go outside, so she decided to join a virtual reality world called OtherWorld. There are real people behind each avatar in OtherWorld. (This interested me because I play on Second Life at times. It is a virtual Reality world. lol) Diana got 1,000,000 dollars in settlement money after Daniel died. Jake decided that they should invest it into making this company called Gamelan. Gamelan is basically doing the opposite of hacking, like they used to do. They would instead help companies by giving them software to help them from becoming hacked. She and Jake would even have real business meetings with these companies on OtherWorld with their avatars. Which is very handy for her, because of her anxiety.

Diana's sister Ashley comes to visit her one weekend. She gives her sister information about an event this Improv group called Spontaneous Combustion is holding. She of course didn't want to attend this event, but knew her sister would love it. While at the event her sister disappears. Diana now has to try to get over her anxiety and make herself get out into the real world to look for her sister. I thought it would be very interesting to read this, because I kind of relate to her a bit. If you want to know more about the story you must read the book. It's worth it! It was very suspenseful and on the edge of your seat exciting. ;)
