Okay, so I've been slacking on keeping this updated with the books I've read in the past couple months so here goes:
December Reads:
Surrender Bay
by Denise Hunter
Comments: This books was an enjoyable read! It made me long for summer days long past. As in true chicklit fashion the story ending was predictable but the journey to get there was good to read.
Healing Stones
by Nancy Rue& Stephen Arterburn
Comments: I am definitely excited to read more books by these authors! The book was filled with so much emotion and battles which it made a fantastic read!
Sky Blue
by Travis Thrasher
Comments: This is the second book I've read by Travis Thrasher and I'm still not a huge fan. His writing is a real challenge to my brain and I have a hard time really grasping what exactly is going on. It's an interesting novel but just not my "cup of tea".
Hollywood Nobody
by Lisa Samson
Comments: What a great little novel! The book is definitely geared to a younger (teen) audience but it was cute and fun to read. Plus it is about Hollywood gossip and blogging which are two things of interest to me.
November Reads:
First the Dead
by Tim Downs
Comments: I really enjoy Tim Downs novels! I love that it's like watching an episode of CSI without annoying commercials. I really appreciate the fact that Tim used the setting of Hurricane Katrina to base this novel on - makes it seem that much more real. It's well written and with the added splash of sarcasm and wit throughout the novel it makes for a great read.
Without a Trace
by Colleen Coble
Comments: This is first book I've read by Colleen and I enjoyed it! The plot and character developement was fantastic which made for a great read! I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

This is my thoughts immediately after I put the book down....
WOW.
God spoke many things into my heart from this book and one line I cannot get out of my head is "He is fond of you". So many times we lose sight of the fact that not only does God love you, He LIKES you. So many parts of this book hit home for me and I cried my way through it and even after. I'm left with so much hope and truth that my heart is overwhelmed with emotion that tears stream down my face. Everyday He is my life, in Me. He guides me, directs me and talks to me. I am His child loved and cared for regardless of my own decisions.
It's hard to describe what impact this book will have on me but I know it will and already is. There are only a few books I've read that have really spoke to me - this is now #1 on my list!
Books Read in August - so far

Desolation Highway
by James R. Coggins
Comments: Love that it was located in Canada! Nice change! The book was very interesting but I wasn't overly impressed with how simple the entire plot was, I guess I expected more twists and turns. It's a simple murder mystery type novel.
Homeland Insecurity
by Richard & Evangeline Abanes
Comments: Very intense book dealing with a racism and hate organizations. The book was well written and it had me hooked from start to finish so itwas a good read!
My Soul to Keep
by Davis Bunn
Comments: I really enjoyed this book! Maybe because I love going to the movies so much? It was very interesting to read a fiction story about how crazy the Hollywood movie industry is and the lengths people will go to for publicity! What I liked most about the book was that it was split into two different sides - it really worked for the plot of this novel. Interested in the movie making industry? Check this book out.
