These is my Words!
So my wonder cousin's wife suggested this book! Thank you Brittany it was amazing!! I can't believe how fast you get caught up into her writing and you don't want to put the book down!! I would like to read more by Nancy Turner but this was the only book that my library carried, sad! Hopefully I can request more!!
Anyways if you like books based in the 1800 century pioneer time, you will love this book! I was so loving the way she just wrote everything in her journal, such a unique way to tell the story! It truly has to be one of my favorite books! Bring on more suggestions!! I love them!
No Longer Strangers
Another one! I know i know! I tend to find a good author and read all her books! She's just so darn good at writing! I loved this book too! So glad for amazing books with good story lines that are clean!

Saving Madeline
This is defineatly a must. I'm a sucker for Romance novels if you can't tell and this one was so great. The guy in this book just really made me happy. He was so sweet and such a great daddy! i love to read stories about men acting this way and know that there truly are really good guys out there, thank goodness! You will love her novels she just catches you so quickly everytime it's hard to stop reading them.
Shades of Gray
I have already posted books by this author before. She is really good, this is kinda a sequel to the last one I posted but you don't really have to read the first to understand this one. My friend who has never read the first really enjoyed this one. I have enjoyed her books so much so I will post the next on which is also from her.
Miles to Go
This is the Sequel to the last post I put. Super great book i enjoyed it better than the first it didn't drag out as long on the road, and it kept you wanting to keep reading to learn more about angel. If you liked the 1st on than this is a must. So much better than the first.

Shadows of Brierley
So I usually don't like Anita Stansfield because they all seem so similar but this one was so good. I loved the time frame and it was written alot different from the rest. So if you get a chance try it out. I read it so fast, it was really good based in the 1800s in Scotland, it had some really interesting twists to it. I thought she did an excellent job.

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
I really enjoyed this book, it wasn't the kind that you just couldn't put down but it did have a fantastic story line. The only disappointment that I had was that I wanted it to continue, it just stopped and I wanted more details. Which if you know me I'm a snoopy person and want the good parts to give me lots of details about the future and things like that. I think that's why I love epiloges ( can't spell very well) they just give me that little bit of after the ending!
Anyways, This book is set during WW2 also but this is about a Chinese boy in Seatle that falls in love with a Japanese Girl. It's just such a sweet story! You have to read it~
Also, I need suggestions on good books, leave me comments so I can read more of what you love!

Hattie Big Sky
I borrowed this book from a friend who hadn't read it yet. I thought it was ok. Easy reading but I was a little disappointed with the ending, and it was kind of a slower read, I guess the good thing is it didn't keep me up at night reading. Based back in the early 1900 during the first world war although it doesn't talk terribly alot about it so don't let that hold you back if you don't like those type of books.

The Book Thief
Wow! I love books about WW2 but this one was really interesting. It started out really different and so I told myself to keep going and after a couple chapters I really started to enjoy it! You instantly fall in love with the gilr in it, it breaks your heart to hear about all the trials that she goes through during the war. The writing in this book is super different as well but overall I ranked it as one of my favorite books written. So if you love WW2 books I highly recommend it!

the Wednesday Letters
My friend borrowed this book to me! I loved it! It was a little slow at the start the story line kept me interested and I loved the tenderness found in this novel. I hope you all take the chance to enjoy this like I did!

The Help
Loved this book, kind of long but the story is so amazing.
Based back in the 1960's its about the african american women in jackson city, missiouri! How they were maids to white familes and raised there children but we treated so poorly. I love how she uses more than on main character in the book. I got to listen to this one on my mp3 player which was so cool because they had different people read the voices for the different characters. Anyways, this is truly a great book about the culture and atmosphere of what happened in the south. It's a must read!

Children of the Promise
I don't know if you have had the oppurtunity to read this series or not, but all I can say is WOW!!! I love stories that are fictional but have some truth to them. I feel like i'm learning a little as well as enjoying a really good novel. I love books during WW2 times and this one just hit really close to home with Quinn being in Afganistan right now fighting. I can't believe the things people went through back then, the communication alone would drive me nuts. I'm so thankful I can talk to Quinn so much easier than they had did.
This book not only looks at the aspect from the US but also from Germany, your feelings will change about things that happened and your eyes will be completely opened about issues in the war that happened. So a great series to read, romance, history and war. Gotta love it!

Safe Haven
If you don't know already, I love Nicholas Sparks! I know some of his books are kind of bittersweet but recently they haven't been that way! This is his newest novel and I have to say it was good but not my favorite.
It was a little more what's the word I'm looking for?? vugal?I don't know how to put it but the overall story line was awesome! I love how he just catches you from the start and then you hooked! There is some sex in it that I wasn't overly happy about but I also felt like it had to be there to get the point of this girls life across!
Let me know what you think!

Eyes of a Stranger and Imprints
This is the 1st of the Series! A girl finds secrets about her past after moving to Portland! It has some suspense to it but not enough to keep you up at night. She also adds romance to it of course which you have to love. She is an LDS author so they are super clean, no swear words or in appropriate behavior. This book will catch your eye right from the start!
This book I think was better than the 1st. The way she keeps you going, she doesn't want you to ever put this book down until its finished. This also has suspense but like I said I love it because it's not something that will keep you up tons, although I did dream about Cults which was a little interesting. I love the main character personality in this. They way she just lets life happen and she doesn't care about looks or what she's lacking that others have. It does have a similar ending I think to the first which kind of bugs me I think she could go out of the box a little more but overall a must read!
