To play along, just answer the following three (3) questions…
• What are you currently reading?
• What did you recently finish reading?
• What do you think you’ll read next?
 






I am currently reading:
When Christmas Comes by Debbie Macomber


I recently finished:
Where Angels go by Debbie Macomber

Cedar Cove Cookbook by Debbie Macomber
 

Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball by Donita K. Paul(for review)
 

I am unsure what I will read next, but it will probably be by...you guessed it! Debbie Macomber!
Do you have a favorite book by her? Or is she not your style/thing?





 

Musing Mondays

This weeks Musing Monday question is:
Where is your favorite place to find new books to read? Blogs? The library? Newspapers? Magazines? In the backs of other books? Suggestions from friends/family? Online bookstores? On the shelves of the local bookstores? (I don't necessarily mean, 'where do you find books to buy' -- I mean, 'where do you discover new titles that you add to your to-be-read lists'?).

For me, it's suggestions from my daughters, sister, friends, what catches my eye at the book stores or library. But now that I have taken my book loving and reviewing to this blog, I also find titles that I wish to read on other book blog sites and sites such as goodreads, LibraryThing, Shelfari, etc... 

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week.  It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

I am new to memes, and this is my first time partaking in this meme! It looks like a lot of fun and I am looking forward to seeing what everyone is reading!

This is what I finished last week:

Orchard Valley Brides by Debbie Macomber
 


Christmas In Cedar Cove by Debbie Macomber













I am currently reading:

 Where Angels Go by Debbie Macomber
 















Also in store for this week:

 Cedar Cove Cookbook by Debbie Macomber
 

The Least Among You (Movie) Review

Leaders are not chosen, they are called. Inspired by a true story.
Arrested in the 1965 Watts riots, Richard Kelly (Cedric Sanders) must serve probation at an all-white seminary. Although encouraged to break racial boundaries by its president Alan Beckett (William Devane), the school wants black followers not leaders. Even former missionary, Kate Allison (Lauren Holly), initially rejects Richard. A prison sentence looming, Richard meets Samuel Benton (Louis Gossett, Jr.) -- “the gardener in the basement.” As Samuel guides Richard through his many trials, Richard must choose between his dreams and his destiny.

I enjoy movies based on true events; especially when I was alive and remember hearing about them. But this movie still wasn't type of movie to watch. It did have very good acting, raw emotions that you could feel through the screen, and it was very moving. I did enjoy watching this Christian flick on the one hand though because it wasn't the typical low-cost, new-actors feel to it. I feel this movie represented what happened and what went on very well. This movie was and is inspirational and eye opening to those who didn't know about the Watt Riots and about doing what is right even if you know there are people against you or possible consequences.

A special Reminder

I recently went and visited BookJunkieMom at Rainy Day Reviews! and I read her post on The Mend Mark. The Mend Mark is a mission to spread the Word and to remind the people who wear the bracelet of His sacrifice for us. The man behind all of this; Hunter Harrison. He had a great idea. To create the bracelet to mirror the scars from the nails that went through Christ's wrists and feet. It brings a new kind of reminder to the subject I think. Harrison's mission behind this is to remind us not only of His life but his death and why he died for us. It is a great mission and I am glad to know about it and would be glad to wear it. A great conversation starter and a great way to open a door of communication to the non believer; to be able to share the great new of Christ! To find out more about this, go to BookJunkieMom's blog! Have a great day all!

Fall Into Reading

I am brand new to blogging. I have been an avid reader for years. But never thought about posting my thoughts and reviews on a blog. I thought, this will be fun! My daughter found this reading challenge for me over at Katrina's blog. I think it will be a good and fun way for me to get started with this. And with this challenge, even though I am a full time OB Nurse, I will still have time to read because I choose the amount of books I am going to read.
Here are the rules/guidelines:

• make up a list of book you would like to read and...
• read them between the challenge dates which are...
• September 22 - December 20 2010.

Here is my list:
 My Goal:

1.  Power To Heal by Joan Hunter 
2. (more to come later...:)
