It's Monday... What Are You Reading?
Monday, January 28, 2019
Guess what...Its Monday! What are you reading this week?
This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. It's a meme where you share what you read last week, what you're currently reading and what you plan on reading that week.
Thanks for stopping by. First let me just say that I have been in a little bit of a reading slump (for lack of a better word)... But I have regained some much needed reading pep, and below is what I am still reading this week. But not much has changed since last week, but still enjoying these reads.

Is there anything that drives you bonkers when you're reading a book and
makes you want tell the author a thing or two? (submitted by C. Lee @ cleemckenziebooks)
As far as driving me bonkers when reading I would have to say that, when the characters names change in the middle of the book and you don't know who this new name is.. or all of a sudden the whole story changes and you are left with no ending or anything to tell you where or why it changed.
I will have to say this thou, I have only read a few books that when it did happen I quite reading them. But now if it was an ARCH that I was reading I can look over that sort of thing and just send notes to editor.
So, What about you? What drives you bonkers when reading a book? If so, Please Share.
And as always, have a great Friday.
Review: Stonewiser by Dora Machado
Thursday, January 17, 2019
Author: Dora Machado
Category: Fantasy Romance
Publisher: Mermaid Publishing LLC
Pub. Date: 06/01/2008
Format: Paperback
Pages: 453
ISBN#: 0979968208
Series: Stonewiser # 1
Synopsis:
Between truth and deception, between justice and abuse, a Stonewiser stands alone with the stones. Or so begins the Stonewiser's oath. But what happens when a rebellious Stonewiser discovers that lies have tainted the stone tales? In a world devastated by the rot's widespread destruction, only the tales preserved in the stones can uphold the truth and defend the Goodlands. In this world, stone truth is valued above anyone's word, and stonewisers are the only ones capable of retrieving the tales from the stones, the only link between past and present, order and chaos.\nSariah is the most gifted stonewiser of her generation, but her talent does not atone for her shortcomings. A survivor of the Guild's brutal training, she is curious, willful, and disobedient. Yet not even Sariah is prepared for what she finds when she steals into the Guild's Sacred Vaults: A mayhem of lies and intrigues that shatters her world. Hunted, persecuted, and betrayed, Sariah must make an unlikely alliance with Kael, a cynical rebel leader pledged to a mysterious quest of his own. The fate of their dying world depends on their courage to overcome centuries of hatred and distrust. But not even the grueling journey has prepared them for what they're about to discover. Because nothing is really as it seems, and the truth is more intricate and devastating than they ever suspected . . . Vibrant with detail, alive with compelling characters, and packed with intriguing action and unforeseen twists, Stonewiser is an unforgettable adventure, an exquisite, heartwarming tale from a mesmerizing storyteller.

Review: The Shepherd's Song by Betsy Duggey and Laurie Myers
Saturday, January 12, 2019
Author: Betsy Duffey and Laurie Myers
Category: Christian/Fiction
Pub. Date: 03/11/2014
Publisher: Howard Books
Format: Hardback
Pages: 240
ISBN#: 1476738203
Synopsis:
Shortly before suffering a tragic car accident, Kate McConnell wrote the simple but powerful words of Psalm 23 on a piece of paper to give to her wayward and confused son. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. . . . As she loses consciousness from her injuries, she wonders if she’s done enough with her life.
When a lonely dry-cleaning employee finds Kate’s humble, handwritten copy of the psalm, it begins an incredible journey around the world, forever changing the lives of twelve very different people. From a soldier wounded in Iraq, to a young Kurdish girl fleeing with her family to Turkey, to a Kenyan runner about to begin the Rome Invitational Marathon, the power of the ancient words begins to take shape in various ways, drawing us into these stories inexplicably linked by the passing of the psalm from one recipient to the next.
Eventually, Kate’s paper makes it back to its starting place, and she discovers the unexpected ways that God moves and changes lives through even our smallest actions.

Publisher: Ballantine Books
Format: Hardback
Pages: 224
ISBN#: 0399181229
Synopsis:
Merry Knight is pretty busy these days. She’s taking care of her family, baking cookies, decorating for the holidays, and hoping to stay out of the cross hairs of her stressed and by-the-book boss at the consulting firm where she temps. Her own social life is the last thing she has in mind, much less a man. Without her knowledge, Merry’s well-meaning mom and brother create an online dating profile for her—minus her photo—and the matches start rolling in. Initially, Merry is incredulous, but she reluctantly decides to give it a whirl.
Soon Merry finds herself chatting with a charming stranger, a man with similar interests and an unmistakably kind soul. Their online exchanges become the brightest part of her day. But meeting face-to-face is altogether different, and her special friend is the last person Merry expects—or desires. Still, sometimes hearts can see what our eyes cannot. In this satisfying seasonal tale, unanticipated love is only a click away.
