Blogging for Books!!

I must say that Blogging for Books keeps me reading more....which I love. I love reading...but NEVER made time for it, well until now! We are in the midst of saving every penny to pay for our second adoption. We were very fortunate that we didn't need to take out a loan for our first adoption and we hope to do the same. Saving money is quiet boring....but reading is free and is helping to pass the time. I am also in the middle of redoing our dining room which has also kept me very busy without spending money. Ugh....taking wallpaper down....removing glue from wall....all work...but free. So after my arm feels as if it were to fall off with another scrub, I then stop to read.

I just got done reading Divine Appointments by Charlene Ann Baumbich. It was fair..middle of the road....something to pass the time. I would classify this as an easy read which left you wondering how the plot would continue but didn't necessarily make me stop putting the book down at night. The main characters have slightly extreme personalities but it is easy to think of someone in your own life with the same quirks. The story revolves around Josie and this snow globe...which is slightly mystical. I'm not really into mystical and didn't really like that portion of the book though it had a lot to do with the overall "lesson" of the book. It was not overtly religious despite the title...and actually only one main character was faith based. The book also delved into layoffs and unemployment which many people can relate to in this economy. Overall I would rate this book as a 3.5/5. "I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review".

So there you have if folks! While I wait for my next book I will keep reading the pile that is sitting on my nightstand...which currently holds 6 books, 2 started and 4 ready to be cracked!
