Welcome to my blog!

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." -Dr. Seuss

Thanks for stopping by. I really hope that you take something away from this blog, even if it's just a book recommendation that leads you to a new series or new author that you will enjoy. I know that by keeping this blog, it's encouraging me to try new genres and to expand my horizons as far as reading new books, rereading old, and I'm even inspired to read the classics that I've missed. Because I'm a mom of four, I'll also be adding children's books into my reviews as I try to spend time reading with my kids on a regular basis. So why not review those as well and share them with you?

Books, for me, have always been great escapes. I remember being stranded on the island with the Swiss Family Robinson when I was 10 years old and it was a great place to be as I was having a rough childhood at the time. I flew away with Peter Pan and traveled with Meg through wrinkles in time, in Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time. Now that I mostly read 'grown up' books, I don't travel to islands but I do live in someone else's world (or mind) for a while and it's a great way to get away from it all even if for a short time every day.

Enjoy my blog and as always, happy reading!

Save me by Lisa Scott





http://www.amazon.com/Save-Me-Lisa-Scottoline/dp/B009697UJA/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1366902745&sr=1-1&keywords=Save+Me




This was a great book.  At first I was a little thrown off.  That whole perfect wife, mother, life, etc....irritates me to no end...but then we find out more, that this model, mother, perfect person isn't so perfect...her life is pretty messed up.  The story goes from one extreme to the other...and then it finds a happy medium and you are able to get into the story and I was guessing...it became a mystery both touching, and sad, and happy...with all ends tying neatly together at the end...nothing being perfect, which was good too, but things ended just right.

Save Me was a weird title..but there was some saving going on...and this books shows how you can save yourself by saving others.

I liked it.  I will definitely read more of Lisa's works.  Coming Home is on shelves now.   I also, upon cleaning out some bookshelves, found I have one of Lisa's older novels where she was into writing suspense and wasn't into the whole relationship type of book.  It will be interesting to compare the two works of hers.

I believe I gave this book 4 Stars...and if I didn't when I first finished it, looking back, I think I would give it that now.  :)

Keep Reading!!!  I am!
