Summer Reads

Ok, thus far I've been a slow reader. That is compared to my normal reading pace. I've decided to try to slow down and really pay attention to the details. Usually I get really wrapped up in a story, will read all night just to finish it, and then realize that I didn't catch all of the details. This time I'm taking my time. It's been a while since I have posted on here and thought that you might like to see what I've been reading. Here it goes:

1. All 3, Hunger Games books. **May the odds ever be in your favor.**

2. I've read two new books by a new and upcoming author; Dawn Husted. She also just happens to be my sister. So while I may be biased I can honestly tell you that her books are really enjoyable and have some great twists & turns in them.  "Nicova" is a story written for a younger audience and can be found on Amazon. "Windor Book 1" is written for the older audience and can also be found on Amazon. Here is a link to her website. http://dawnhusted.weebly.com/

3. I am currently reading "TSI: The Gabon Virus" by Paul McCusker & Walt Larimore. I'm loving this one. It's action packed, has a CSI feel to it, and it's a mystery all in one. I'm having a hard time putting it down. Here's a link to it: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6151871-the-gabon-virus

4. Another book that I'm reading right now along with the before mentioned is, "The Lucky One" by Nicolas Sparks. It's awesome! 

Check them out if you are looking for a new read this summer:)

"It's a post apocalyptic world and everyone has to play to the State's demands; even to the death. It's gripping, and the characters really pull you in. Once you begin this story you won't be able to put it down. It's like nothing I have read before"
Stacy C.

Going on Hiatus

For a while now we have had a wonderful time reading and chatting with one another. Now that the school year is beginning I'm finding myself very busy. Between my children's daily needs, schooling, events of life, and being a wife my time seems stretched tight. I'm needing to put aside the book club for a season. Thank you for participating and I hope that someday we'll be able to pick it back up. God Bless~Stacy

July's Pick

         This month's book will be The Last Song written by Nicholas Sparks. I began reading this book not too long ago. I have to admit that I didn't have very high expectations for it in the beginning. However, I was happily surprised at the depth found within it's pages. You might think that Sparks is only known for writing sappy love stories. If this isn't your type of read please give this book a chance. It will surprise you that it isn't what you might expect it too be. It's very well written and more over, it's story is powerful. I had no idea that upon reading it's final pages such a wonderful message would unfold.  

         Personally I love to surround myself with good literature. When a piece is timeless I love it even more. The Last Song is timeless. It speaks to you about the truthfulness of real love, God's power, and ultimately redemption. This is a book that I will proudly sit upon my book shelf. Hopefully one day in the future my daughters will want to read it. 

          I think it's message will resonate with you too. Give it a chance, pick up a copy, and allow yourself to be taken on a journey that will be more than just entertainment to you.
