Super cute comic I found on Pinterest. This reminds me of my favorite English teacher and the time she snapped because I spelled library as liberry on a hall pass. I have the best memories of her. She definitively has ended up being one of the most influential people to have ever made a mark on my life. It is amazing the impact a good teacher can make.

Quote Of The Week

This week I am attempting to focus on my writing. I am having several ideas, but forming the story line has been a bit difficult. So I am trying to draw inspiration from the below quote.



What I'm Listening To: Brown Eyed Girl ~ Jimmy Buffett

Quote Of The Week

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I have been reading non-stop. I am really wrapped up in the Malory Family Books by Johanna Lindsey. As soon as I finish one I'm diving right into the next. That being said I felt like the quote below by Jane Austen is extremely fitting for how I feel this week. I hope you agree to how true the statement is.



What I'm Listening To: Let's Stay Together ~ Al Green

Rowan's Reader Review

Wonderland Creek ~ Lynn Austin



This was my first Lynn Austin book and I do recommend it. I loved the character of Alice. She is a librarian. And we all know that I love books. In one of the very first scenes of the book Alice reads a book during a funeral. I can so see myself doing that. I will admit that I have read during church, so pushing the boundaries to a funeral wouldn't be unimaginable (now don't go judging me; I work the night shift and I was nearly nodding off during the pastor's sermon; I had to find something to do to keep me awake).  I also enjoyed the historical look at the Pack Horse Librarian program that was created as a part of the Works Progress Administration under President Roosevelt's New Deal Initiative. It's amazing how we take simple things like a library for granted. I would love to see Lynn Austin write a follow up to this book.

My Favorite Disney Princess

Belle ~ From Beauty & The Beast

Now this is a random ramble. I love Beauty & The Beast. Belle is my absolute favorite Disney princess. Mainly because she is so normal. She also loves books and is very witty. So I'd like to share a few clips from the movie as to why Gaston could never have been Belle's man.

I played BINGO this past week with one of my dearest friends, my "sister". She cracked me up when the BINGO called said B9 and she leaned over to me and whispered "cancerous". When I saw the below post on a pinterest board it made me think of her even though it is not truly related to her comment.

Book Review ~ The Reluctant Bride by Donna Hatch

I downloaded The Reluctant Bride by Donna Hatch for free from BarnesAndNoble.com. It is an excellent romantic short story. I really enjoyed the characters. I wish this story had been developed into a much longer novel. I really think it had the strength to have made an excellent longer read. Regardless, I did enjoy it and I do recommend it.

Book Review ~ Pregnant Brides Series by Lynne Graham

~Desert Prince, Bride of Innocence
~Ruthless Magnate, Convenient Wife
~Greek Tycoon, Inexperienced Mistress

I tried out a series by an author new to me, Lynne Graham. As with most all Harlequin authors that I've tried, I was thoroughly impressed. I fell in love with my pregnant heroines and the billionaires that swept them off their feet. Of the three novels, from the Pregnant Brides Series, I especially felt that I connected with the character Elinor, from Desert Prince, Bride of Innocence. I enjoyed the whole series. And I recommend all three books for your reading pleasure.

Happy reading!

Disappointment

While surfing the internet I came across the below movie poster and I got very excited. A movie about Walt Disney. How interesting! I love Disney! What a marvelous idea. Why haven't they already made a movie based off of Walt's life? A film by Ron Howard. He makes good movies. Ryan Gosling as Walt. Well, he's a hottie and can definitively play a leading man. This looked to be a great movie in the making. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that it's not a movie in the making. It's a fake movie poster! Really? Now I'm just upset. Cruel joke for sure. What are your thoughts?
