I haven't done a "what I'm reading" post in awhile because I haven't been reading too many really great books lately. As a matter of fact, I've read a couple books that I wish I hadn't wasted my time, got half way through one book and said to myself "Seriously, why am I reading this stupid book" HA and have even thought about going to the local Christian book store, looking at "real" books, making a list of what I want and budgeting a little more money for my book habit so I can get so GOOD books!! GEESH!!
With my rant done, I do have a couple of books to pass on to you.
First up is an actually book I read - I have this series, as well as the original series, in hardcover thanks to my mom.
A Wandering Heart (An Angel Island Novel) by Thomas Kinkade is the third book in this series. This one bring a movie crew to the Island to use the perfect setting to record. The main star meets someone on the island who changes her life. The story winds through that discovery and is just so enjoyable to read! Now, here is the sad news .. .. you may or may not know that Thomas Kinkade passed away at the beginning of April (just a few days after this book was released). I am hoping that Katherine Spencer will be able to continue the books - I'd hate to lose "touch" with the great characters in both of the series.
This is one of those books that you shouldn't judge by the cover - when I saw this cover my thought was that it would not be a good book because it looks kind of cheesey . . .but
A Dream Unfolding by Karen Baney was a great book. It was a story that made me want to curl up on the couch and just read to get to the end to find out what happened. Sometimes, an author writes a bunch of sentences and it gets published - sometimes though, they write a story that allows you to feel part of the lives of the characters and that is what I found from this book. It is historical fiction and tells the store of a young wife who learns from many difficult lessons as she and her husband travel west in a wagon train. I've added books 2 and 3 to my wish list :-)
I'm working now on clearing out my Kindle and deleting some books from my account. Did anyone else end up with tons of dictionaries uploaded from Kindle? I have them in about 6 languages - I think it was an amazon error but now I have to delete them all!! I really want to get rid of stuff I am not going to read so I can stock up on some GOOD stuff for this summer - I'm sure I'll be outside a lot while the kids play so books are needed!
