    Hey! I will definitely add Daughter of the Forest to my list. I love fairy tale re-writes. I try to read a wide range of books but always end up loving the fantasy books the most. Glad to know that someone is reading my silly reviews. :) I write them to remind myself about the book.

    Hi, Greenmom. I’m the author of The Sandal Maker, a new novel about the public ministry of Jesus from a unique point of view. A story that will take you on a fascinating journey in first century Galilee. I’m including here the publisher's notes from Amazon.com. Let me know what you think.


    Book Description
    Caleb, an elderly Jew, leaves the safety of his home in Cana on a mission to find a man he believes is in Jerusalem. Miriam, Caleb’s only remaining child, accompanies him disguised as a boy. In the desolation of the war struck Galilean countryside, father and daughter risk their lives to journey south on the Jordan River trail. As they walk, Caleb intrigues Miriam with a captivating story of his youth that will change her future destiny. A story of a time forty years prior when he became a sandal maker in order to observe a man some called the Miracle Worker. Caleb secretly kept notes of the events he saw and heard as he followed the crowds. With his objective, skeptical point of view, he reveals the fascinating ministry of the one he called the “Master.” Heart pounding perils and the threat of death endanger the two travelers, but nothing could foretell the fate awaiting them in Jerusalem!

    From the Publisher
    A. Michaelson's new novel, The Sandal Maker, takes the reader on a fascinating journey back to the year 70 A.D. in worn torn Palestine. The author creatively weaves two stories together, one in the present, the other in the past. Heartwarming, enlightening and tragic, The Sandal Maker paints a portrait of one man's life and his involvement in how the gospel came to be.

    Okay, so I'm done with Graceling and I think I know what the deal breaker was for you. But, I'm not sure. Would you care to elaborate please? :)

    So, I'm reading Graceling right now. I'm really curious as to what the deal breaker was for you. I'll let you know when I'm done. Perhaps, I'll be able to guess too. ;)

    Thanks! I'm actually so excite! (dork, I know). You really need to read Poison Study - that is the name of the book I couldn't remember, it is really good. I finished it yesterday @ about 4pm, then was so sad that I didn't have more of it to read that night. So I picked up Esperanza Rising, which is good, but nothing like PS. Check it out of Brook's Library! You'll really enjoy it.

    Why yes! I used to work there—most unfortunate that. Right on; it's a nice shirt. Oooh! You're a graphic designer? Me too. Weird.

    Hey! I'm new to Shelfari and really excited about it. I just wanted to thank you for your book comments and recommendations. They are well-written, concise and cover all the important critique-ing points of a book. But most of all, they are more helpful than others. Bye!

    I just finished Truth About Forever. I loved it too! I will be adding that to my Favorites. I couldn't stop thinking about it after I finished it... so between finishing it after midnight, then re-thinking the whole story I got very little sleep last night!

    Just wanted to thank you for recommending These is My Words for the Weary Moms group. Such a good read. I also liked reading your review. I haven't quite finished it yet, but it has kept my attention more than many books recently.
