Thimble Kisses By Crystal Bozeman Clifton

This is the most sweet little tale of the unconditional love of a child I have ever read. My little 11 year old daughter cried when we read it. The pictures are so accessible to both adults and children, and the story is so precious. I cried too <3 I know some people that are going to get thimble kisses for christmas this year! I hope to read more of Crystals stories and that she keeps them coming.

The Sounds of War Thomas Ferreolus

I'd never used audible before so when I was given the opportunity to listen to the Sounds Of War by Thomas Ferreolus I was hoping for the best. But this is not about my audible experience this is about the best audio book I've ever listened to. The reader himself helped to make the characters "come alive" in my head. The sounds in the story were so true to life, and the situation that the soldiers lived in and experienced were so true. I have family in the military who went to Iraq. Now I know what it must have been like for them, hot, miserable, and possibly frightening. Thomas was such a likeable character, he would be someone that I would hang around with or go out to coffee with if he was a real person. I loved all the characters Thomas Ferreolus created. This book is brilliant, I especially enjoyed the sounds between chapters. Just an excellent excellent book!

The book "My Angel" by Jamie Gibson is an amazing, heart wrenching story about a mother's love for her children and the unspeakable pain in the loss of a child. I had the honor of reading this beautiful, completely honest, amazing story. There were so many moments that had me choked up, especially the delivery of Hailey. I applaud Jamie's choice to get rid of "him" and change her life all for the better. It takes a lot of strength to do that and only true survivors can. Hailey will always have a place in my heart. Not all pregnancies have happy endings, the babies without the happy ending, they are taken to heaven by God himself. Some of the physicians and nurses made me so angry with the way they treated Jamie and baby Hailey. Only with a loss this life changing can a person truly understand. I loved this beautiful story of anger, loss, and hope

Unfound By Christy Sloat

SYNOPSIS

Kayla Hart was loved by some, but not by all. There were whispers she was a witch. However, most chose to believe she was a misguided freak. The sad truth was she was just unpopular and a bit shy. When Kayla went missing, everyone pretended to care.The entire community scoured her small New Jersey town looking for her. Unfortunately, this tragic story has no hero. Kayla's disappearance would remain a mystery. Only she knows why, and what happened the night she became...Unfound.

REVIEW

Christy gave me the opportunity and honor of reading this awesome book before it came out. It made me love a character even more than I loved her in the Brown House and Crimson Key. I could so identify with Kayla, for all intents and purposes she WAS me. Hearing and seeing the story through her eyes was so beautiful. Seeing the gorgeous soul of this complicated character was just so very real to me. Christy really gets to the "heart" of her characters and you can see the story taking place around you and feel everything that the characters are feeling. She's such a talented word weaver and I can't wait to read the next book in the series "The White Door." The Brown House series of books is so entrancing and riveting. Its just an awesome series of books and is in my short list of favorites I would recommend to ANYONE looking for an awesome read!

The Reborn The Book of Dain by Casse NaRome
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To say I loved this book would be an understatement. The Reborn had me riveted right from the start! I read this book in 2 hrs! I loved how the characters were introduced and how the story evolved. I especially loved the evolution of Dylan/Dain and the inner conflict in his character. Cassie is an amazing author who really knows how to keep a reader turning pages. I wanted to know every twist and turn in this story! This is a book I would recommend to anyone! This was just an awesome read with characters I absolutely adored.

Becoming PVT Harmon by Casey Sean Harmon FIVE STARS!

http://www.amazon.com/Becoming-PVT-Harmon-Training-ebook/dp/B00E49XHBM/ref=sr_1_1_bnp_1_kin?ie=UTF8&qid=1376869692&sr=8-1&keywords=becoming+pvt+harmon This was a great read! It was an honest and candid view of one soldier's journey through basic training. I truly loved the way that Casey kept his faith in God the whole time, and how he shared the presence of God's love with others by praying with them. I know that he turned out to be a great Chaplain's assistant. It was admirable that he would not swear, (only when he stubbed his toe!) not many men can do that. The journal is completely from the heart and is just an amazing view of something only those who have gone through it can understand. This books is very special and should be given to each person entering the military or those that are considering it. I truly truly enjoyed it. I have true respect and a soft place for Casey for sharing his story and for the honesty it shows. It was a book I couldn't put down. I laughed with him and cried with him and wanted to hug him a few times! Thank you for sharing your amazing and incredible journal with us!

Review of Dream Family by JJ DiBenedetto

Review of Dream Family by JJ Debenedetto I just had the privilege of reading Dream Family by J.J. DiBenedetto and I must say this is one that really takes you into the head of the character. JJ was so descriptive that you felt like you were living in the story! Sara is very endearing as a character and I had so much sympathy for her in the beginning. The jail sequences and dream sequences were amazing and so true to life. I would have to literally force myself to put this book down because I would get caught up in the story. My favorite character was 5 year old Lizzie I must say. I loved her innocence and to the pointedness that reminds me of my daughter. JJ is an excellent writer and this is actually the first book from his set that I have read and it is wonderful even if it was a standalone. I went into the dream sequences he wrote and thought Holy Jeepers whats going to happen next! All in all this is a very entertaining and interesting story that I truly enjoyed and would recommend to anyone!http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BW3FPFO/ref=cm_cr_mts_prod_img
