Do you agree or disagree with this statement: A blogger's first name should be in a prominent place on his/her blog. (submitted by Elizabeth @ Silver's Reviews)

I will have to say I am on the fence with this question. I know when I go to a blog that I like to read I would like to also know something about the blogger. But that is just me. Your blog is your blog and you have the right to do it Your Way..

 

So what about you? What do you think?

And as always, have a great Friday!

Review: The Heart's Journey by Barbara Cameron

Title: The Heart's Journey

Author: Barbara Cameron

Category: Amish/Christian

Pub. Date: 10/01/2012 

Publisher: Abingdon Press  

Format: Paperback 

Pages: 283 

ISBN#: 1426714335
Series: Stitches in Time #2 

Synopsis: 

Naomi knows she should be excited about her upcoming wedding but she remains unmoved. Not only are her feelings for her fiance lackluster but she believes he may see her more as a servant than a partner. And he's so controlling. Is it too late to back out of the marriage? While praying for God's guidance, Naomi takes a break from her duties as a quilter and travels with her grandmother to Pinecraft, Florida. Along the way Naomi finds herself becoming attracted to Nick, their Englisch driver and friend, and the two begin to fall in love. The journey soon becomes one in which Naomi explores her most secret dream for love. But can she veer off the "safe" path she'd envisioned for her life to marry Nick?  

 
My Review:  

Author Barbara Cameron has done it again. This is the second book in the series: Stitches in Time. I read and reviewed the first book in the series a few years ago called, Her Restless Heart. Which I absolutely loved!   In my own christian walk, this book for me had more things to ponder.

I have often used the quote of "Don't judge until you have walked in their shoes." So with in the pages of Naomi's life makes you question wither or not you are making or have made some wise choices. She is a strong character even thou she is unsure at times. Her emotions play a part in her life but prayer is the most important part.  

The writing style of author Barbara Cameron is captivating!  From the time I picked it up I was hooked. There where a few little places that where a tad slow for me, and thou it took me a little bit to finish reading, I loved it!

So for all the reasons above I will be giving this book the Breath of Life rating of:

Four Clock Rating!!! 

Disclosure: I did not receive the above book in exchange for my honest opinion and or review. But the Opinions are my own and yours may differ.

 About the Author: 

 

 Barbara Cameron has a heart for writing about the spiritual values and simple joys of the Amish. She is the best-selling author of more than 40 fiction and nonfiction books, three nationally televised movies, and the winner of the first Romance Writers of America Golden Heart Award. Her books have been nominated for Carol Awards and the Inspirational Reader's Choice Award.

What's your proudest blogging milestone or achievement? 

(submitted by Cathy @ What Cathy Read Next) 

 

This was a hard topic for me. For one I will have to say, the day I started my blog. I had watched and read my daughters blog (Ali's Bookshelf) for a year or so and loved reading the excitement grow as she began to meet authors and expand her love of reading. So when she encouraged me to start my own blog was quite a big leap for me. Although I have always loved to read I never thought about reviewing them. I Loved it right off the bat. So here I am after eight years now.

 

 

So what about you? What's your proudest blogging milestone or achievement?

And as always, have a great Friday!

If you were stranded on a deserted island, which ONE book could you not live without? (submitted by Megan @ Ginger Mom & the Kindle Quest)

Seriously? This weeks topic is just not fair. But if it comes down to just one actual 
book then my answer would have to be my Bible.

 With that being said, I have a boat load of books. A ton of actual physical books, 
but I also have a ton of books on my kindle. And for the most part are by authors that I absolutely love their writing styles. Usually when going to doc. or other appointments
 I have my kindle with me. It also has a Bible app.

 

So what about you? Do you work and if so how 

do you manage everything?

And as always, have a great Friday!
