my apologies


I was supposed to post a book review at the end of July, but we have been blessed with a newborn girl through adoption and spent the last week of July and first week of August in another state for her adoption and we are just getting settled back at home and into routine. I will be getting that post up soon so please check back soon!

Leave It to Claire, Claire Series #1

I just finished reading this book for myself, not for the author. I really enjoyed it! Author Tracey Bateman writes real life, things we all think but would never dare say!


Claire is a divorced mother of 4 who has to learn to live again. She is learning what God has for her. She has wonderful insights that we can all relate to including things like what her teenage daughter thinks of her wardrobe, and how to have the willpower to not eat the pizza while trying to loose weight! Claire not only learns to live again, but she also learns to love and respect others in the process.

Love's Rescue By: Tammy Barley

For more information about this author visit her website at http://www.tammybarley.com/

Set in 1863 during the Civil War, the conflict between the Confederates and Unionists is evident even across the country in the Nevada Territory. A book that explains not only war facts, but the history of the people's relationship with the native tribes.

The main character Jessica's story will capture your heart and mind. Finishing this story was on the four front of my mind during the times I couldn't be reading it. Though a little slow to me in the beginning, the end more than makes up for it! Jessica's tenacity gets her into many scrapes, but her rescuer is always there to help her out!

This book was extra interesting to me as it is set in a territory that I am familiar with in modern times so to hear about it during Civil War times just intrigued me. Also the ranch life was interesting as the area I live in has ranching as a way of life so to read about the way they ranched in the old days was very interesting.
