Saturday, April 26, 2014. A Beauty So Rare - Review. 8220;A Beauty So Rare” by Tamera Alexander, should rightly be called “A Book So Rare.” Truly. Books as beautifully written as this one are rare indeed. Eleanor and Marcus were portrayed so vividly that they will no doubt live on in the hearts and minds of readers long after “The End”. Every scene blossomed before me- just as Marcus’s roses did. Approve of this endeavor. Archduke Marcus Gottfried has come to Nashville from Austria in search of a life he.

Monday, March 24, 2014. Tide and Tempest - A Marvelous Read! You know how it feels when you finish a really good book? You’re elated to see the characters you’ve come to know, at last have their happy ending. But then…you’re disappointed. The book is over.

Sweet Peripety: May 2013
http://sweetperipety.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

He makes these flowers, which my littlest. To pick for me from our own yard. And extend with his hand. Gifts In pink. Yellow. White. Their green stems sometimes long enough. Other times, just enough to set within a little saucer. I love his utter joy in giving me such growing, living things. The Artists Daughter, a review. Truly a touching, retrosp...

But I'm thankful to God that HE. Can fashion in her heart this love again. And she will ride! Monday, June 17, 2013. Melody Carlson has written a gem! Thank yo...
