Review of Lady of a Thousand Treasures by Sandra Byrd


So I asked to review this book from Tyndale and I got it! Yay!
It was quite different from what I usually read, and I didn't really like it.
I mean, it just wasn't me.
But obviously I've heard lots and lots of reviews where they loved it, so if you were thinking about reading it, you'll have to see for yourself if it is for you or not.
I didn't really like the characters. I couldn't get into them.
Eleanor was strong-willed. Yet she let people boss her around.
She was incredibly smart, yet sometimes she made really stupid decisions.
And Harry. He was quite different from the guys I like.
He had good qualities, but also had some bad ones. Which obviously is only human , but he, I don't know, I didn't like him.
I couldn't really put my full attention on this book because it just didn't catch me.
Here's the synopsis:
*"Harry claims to still love her and Eleanor yearns to believe him, but his mysterious comments and actions fuel her doubts. When she learns an Italian beauty accompanied him on his return to England, her lingering hope for a future with Harry dims."*

Review of When Through Deep Waters

I just finished reviewing this book and I have to say, it was fabulous!! Tyndale House Publishing are the ones who I went through to review it. They  are awesome! Anywho, onto the book! I have never read anything like it before, but I loved it. I was skeptical at first, but it turned out great! There was intrigue, mystery, heartache, and sweet dreams,etc etc. Alicen was a troubled woman who was overcoming a lot of things, and I think that Rachelle Dekker wrote the story well. The words and sentences to me matched up with Life After by Katie Ganshert. Which is a book I love! So good job Rachelle!! The only thing I didn't like about it was that there was too much death. The first death was necessary for the story, but I didn't like the second death. The back cover: "Alicen McCaffrey finally has the life her mother always dreamed for her: beautiful home in Santa Monica, successful husband, adorable daughter. Then tragedy blows her carefully assembled façade to p...

Losing someone you love

Now, many people have lost someone they love, I lost my grandpa right before Christmas.  I was devastated, but there wasn't anything I could do. My brain told me it was coming when he was sent to stay in the hospital, yet my heart had hope.  I really wanted to be able to see him again, it will happen one day in Heaven, but not earth. A few weeks before he was hospitalized (hope its spelled right)  I was talking to him on the phone, he was telling me how I used sit on his lap, he'd scratch my back, and I'd beg him to take me to Buddy Freddie's, I love that place, and still would had it not closed down. I have one last memory of going there on my sixth birthday before we moved.  From Florida to Texas, quite a distance by car. See, everytime we would talk, he would ask me the same threw questions, he was joking around but they were real, I won't give out this questions because I don't want to, but I wish I could've said yes one of those times he asked but I...

Okay, so I want to write this post about our new goats! We have 10 goats now! Orginally 5 but 3 gave birth. The mama's are- Reese, Sophie, and Natasha. I will post a picture of each baby and tell you the name and gender and mother. Plus a few little details about them.  Have fun!! This baby is Cocoa. Her mama is Reese. My sister got this picture and unfortunately this is the best one! Lol, she did not want to pose for a picture! She was born on the 6th. She is so cute, big and playful! So so sweet! She had a twin sister, Matilda, unfortunately she didn't make it as we (my parents) weren't there to pull her out. This is Stevie and Joey. Twins from Sophie. Born the 11th. And super cute and playful! Joey! (and parts of Sophie) He is the big brother all the way! Always there for Stevie, and so sweet and funny! Everything that his little sister does, he has to do!
