I am so glad to find this site and people who love books.

I have loved to read since I learned how to read in first grade from one of those giant books. I like fiction and non-fiction equally and am rediscovering a love of poetry, something I'd set aside for a few years.

I am a writer and an active blogger., blogging on my own... more »

    Hello Ms Candelaria - Happy New Year! Yes, I realize I was in the minority of readers re: The Help -- I was literally insulted and turned off by the author's style (particularly the way she chose to stereotypically characterize Abilene and emphasize the broken language of Abilene -all within the first few chapters)! But I digress...LOL! The Healing is a better book (all around) and I'll admit I was generous with the 5-star rating -- It was definitely a strong 4/4+ for me and I bumped it up to a 5. If you can tolerate slavery-era fiction, it's worth picking up.

    I agree with you. I was able to read it in a day. Had some great themes but it was all over the place.

    Hi, Enjoying the book so far. I want to see the movie. But love reading a novel before seeing it come to life on screen. I will let you know what I think about the book.. ;-)

    I liked it a lot. I didn't think I was going to like it at first but it turned out really great. What proboly suprised me the most is how Pearl ended up living in luxury years after she arrived to Europe. I was also suprised at how Dimmesdale punished himself through out the book, like when he cut the letter A into his chest I thought that was really nasty and sounded extremely painful.

    But also thank you for the earrings they are so pretty! Thank you again (:

    I would like to suggest reading THE ENDLESS HOUR- The True Story of a Haunted Soul.I completed publication
    in November 2010.

    Over eighteen years in the making,THE ENDLESS HOUR is about an illustration I created in 1988 that became
    reality two years later,which involves a spiritual death experience.

    This touching and terrifying true story is not only about me.It is also about... you.

    For more information go to theendlesshour.com. Once you enter the website you can watch the book video and
    read reviews. You may also want to visit amazon.com and read the first seven chapters of THE ENDLESS HOUR.

    Thanks,
    Jesse

    Yes, it was very interesting. I did get tired of it about 3/4 of the way through but I read on because I wanted to see how it ended. Do you have a copy. I bought two by mistake. I can send it to you if you'd like!

    Lord take this cup away from me....
    "I can't son, it belongs to you"
    But Lord this cup is too much for me to bear!
    "You can handle it, Jesus drank from the cup"
    But Lord I aint Jesus!
    "But He lives in YOU!"
    But Lord I am weak!
    "His strength works best when you’re weak"
    But Lord have you seen what's in my cup?
    "Yeah I know I put it in there!"
    But Lord there is sickness in my cup!
    "And I called you to heal"
    But Lord there is confusion in my cup!
    "And I called you to teach"
    But Lord there is pain in my cup!
    "And I called you spread my Word"
    But Lord why do I have to drink THIS cup?
    ”Because I want you to act like my Son!”
    Last question Lord....Does everyone have to drink this cup?
    "Everyone has to taste their reality"

    Girl, it will take me until next year at least to read all those books, I'm still working through the houseful of books I already have.

    Hello! I've been extremely busy with work and it's not leaving me any time for reading (for pleasure). Hopefully things will slow down in February as I have a ton of books on my backlog that I really want to read. Thanks for checking in on me! How are you doing? Any plans for SB weekend? Read anything notable lately?

    Sorry to hear you found Say You're One of Them depressing. The subject is touchy, yes, a lot of uncomfortable situations too. But someone has to tell that story. I'm in the first chapter and I'm reading it very slowly because I want to study how Akpan transitions from scene to scene. Akpan does an excellent job with the conversations considering he is Nigerian not Kenyan. We are two different cultures.

    Will surely share my final thoughts when I am done.

    It is interesting, but not as good as his previous books. I was more interested in the family dynamics of the characters. I was also interested in the book because my father was a mason also. i wouldn't be worried, the wife of a mason is supposed to get benefits if something happens to her husband (smile!).
