Caught in the middle of a food fight, she and four annoying classmates are assigned after school detention for a month by Principal Greer.

TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTHBLURB.jpgStories of lives well lived is the way that you 

HIGH PLAINS TO PATAGONIA.jpg

To do so would rob you of the intriguing vignettes that dot the landscape as the author shares the trials and travails of the Bedford family from the United States southwest to the Argentine Patagonia at the bottom of the world. Along the way the author sprinkles history in such a captivating way that the reader is seeing the events play themselves out and learning of the interlocking world in which we live without even realizing it.

Beautiful story of life

I love this book. I am not typically satisfied with novellas, but this one was lovely. The words wrapped me in warmth and I felt as if I was there. It was more than a series of stories, but a homecoming. If you are looking for something to restore you, this is the book.

LEMON ROAD BLURB.jpgTwo weeks before Halloween, Jason McNab and Dustin Karp planned a fright-filled trip with ten friends. Dustin, the owner of a multi-million-dollar entertainment empire, purchased a large million-dollar bus to travel to the best haunted houses on the east coast.

WHEN PERFECT IS BORING GO FOR THE PERFECTLY IMPERFECT BY DANIELLE LEE ZWISSLER

PERFECTLY IMPERFECT BLURB.jpgWhen Connor Morgan dials the wrong girl, he ends up finding an absolutely perfect woman! 

Perfectly Imperfect
Roses
I sat down and looked at my bank account balance on my iPhone. To say it was laughable, was an understatement. I was twenty- four, stupid, and horrible with finances. I didn’t go out spending money like a baller or anything, but I did splurge for the occasional cute purse and stylish pair of shoes. 
I was a glutton for a cute pair of shoes. 
Damn. 
I looked up at my ceiling, and noticed the peeling paint for the first time. The apartment was a mess, and I had enough money for mac and cheese and hotdogs for the next two weeks, and that was it. No extras, just food, but my bills would be paid, and I’d be able to survive another two weeks until my next big pay was here…

LOVE POETRY ???? THIS BOOK IS A GREAT COLLECTION ONE POEM FOR EVERY DAY OF 2017 365 BY CINDY J. SMITH

karenwritesmurder's avatarkarenwritesmurder

365 blurb cjs.jpg365BLURB2.jpg

A wonderfully written collection

May 28, 2018

Format: Paperback

365 by Cindy J. Smith

Cindy J Smith wrote this collection of poems as a one-a-day project, so my intention in reading it was also one-a-day. Nah, that didn’t work out for me. Smith is really a master poet and I couldn’t stop myself, I finished it in a couple days. Really, though, as with all of my collection of poetry, I just keep going back and picking up new stuff. I can open this book at any time and find new meanings to fit my own situations. This is what Smith does for me, she writes what I can’t even express. She gets in my head, and I have made her a place there. She writes the poetry that I share the most, and I really loved this collection.
