Quaker Oatmeal Raisin

Ok! Hi guys!

Not too long ago I received my Mom voxbox from influenster to try. My first box and it has been awesome!

One of the highlights for my son was the Quaker oatmeal Raisin cookie that came in it  : ) haha!

He got to the box first so of course I didnt get to try it but, He says its ” GREAT!” : )

I think He liked it because it was fresh and so, now this has been added to our grocery list : )

Ivory bar soap

Thanks to influenster for sending me Ivory bar soap in my Mom Voxbox.

I have to say I was pleased to see that I liked it. Im not a big fan of bar soap. 

So, I used to deep clean my makeup brushes first. Well, It did such a great job of leaving them smelling very clean and the brush heads soft. I decided to give it a try on myself. I have very naturally oily skin so, this worked amazing. It doesnt dry out my skin it just leaves it clean without leaving and iky residue. Needless to say I have since purchased quite a few more bars.

A vacation on the island of ex- Boyfriends By: Stacy bierlein

Synopsis:

In three days we have played, cried, ran, fought, laughed, danced, and built fires with them all–every man we’ve ever wanted. We’re exhausted.

Two friends plan a visit to Nantucket, but find themselves on a different island completely, where the men they have loved are lined up on the beach in chronological order. A grieving mother and daughter encounter naked strangers in unexpected places en route to the Dordogne River. A restless New York artist travels to Madrid to find a European lover, only to fall for another persnickety New Yorker. Such quirks of fate are the hallmark of Stacy Bierlein’ s debut story collection. From that mysterious island in the Atlantic to the crowded highways of Los Angeles; from the Charles Bridge in Prague, to the temples of Luxor and the most remote regions of the Myanmar peninsula, Bierlein’s characters are women of dazzling ironies and introspections, always in motion and trusting in love–even when it remains out of reach.

My thoughts:

I won this book through A LibraryThing giveaway and was really excited to check it out. I received it in the mail yesterday and finished it this afternoon.

This Book contains a collection of stories from different women about their encounters with their lovers,exs, one night stands.

I really enjoyed this book, I think the author did a great job. From the start it pulls you in and keeps you interested. The author does a very good job with description. The flow of The stories was great, I never lost my interest.I think this could be a book I would read a second time.

so, overall I would recommend this for a read.  I gave it a 4 out of 5 : )

Stand By me By: Neta Jackson

 

Synopsis:

Sometimes the person you most need is the one least like you.

Kathryn Davies is a bright young woman form a prominent Phoenix family. But after making a leap of faith at a Christian music fest, dropping out of med school, and moving to inner city Chicago, her family all but disowns her.

When Kat discovers SouledOut Community Church, she longs to become a part of the multicultural church family. But her tendency to immediately say whatever she’s thinking steps on the toes of nearly everyone she meets-especially Avis Douglass.

Avis has a strong faith, is the principal of one of Chicago’s highest performing elementary schools, and is a founding member of SouledOut. But the country’s economic downturn has thrown both her and her husband’s jobs in question. And Avis hasn’t heard from her youngest daughter in months-an estrangement that gnaws at her every day. Where is God in this?

Kat’s flamboyant zeal for living a “radical” Christian life is a stark contrast to Avis’s more reserved faith. But in God’s timing, the two women discover they need each other in ways neither of them expected.

 

 My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. The pace was nice, I really liked the characters. I enjoyed the story. Definite recommend. I would give this book a 4/5.

Infinite Days By: Rebecca Maizel

Synopsis: ”Throughout all my histories, I found no one I loved more than you…no one.”

Those were some of Rhode’s last words to me. The last time he would pronounce his love. The last time I would see his face.

It was the first time in 592 years I could take a breath. Lay in the sun. Taste.

Rhode sacrificed himself so I, Lenah Beaudonte, could be human again. So I could stop the blood lust.

I never expected to fall in love with someone else that wasn’t Rhode.

But Justin was…daring. Exciting. More beautiful than I could dream.

I never expected to be sixteen again…then again, I never expected my past to come back and haunt me…

 

 

               

 

 

My Thoughts :

 

I just finished this book about 15 minutes ago. I have to say, I really enjoyed it. The story was great.

I loved Lenah as far as a strong main female character goes , I feel like she was perfect.

What really pulled me in was the back and forth from present time to going back into the 1800′s.

 Overall, I liked the pacing of the book. I enjoyed the story line and really look forward to the second book. I’m really hoping more about Rhode is in that one. : ) 

  I give this book a 5/5. I just really enjoy the authors writing style. 

 

 

I’ll Be There By: Holly Goldberg Sloan

Synopsis: 

Sam Border : wishes he could escape. Raised by an unstable father, he’s spent his life moving from place to place. But he could never abandon his little brother, Riddle.

Riddle Border : doesn’t talk much. Instead, he draws pictures of the insides of things and waits for the day when the outsides of things will make sense. He worships his older brother. But how can they leave when there’s nowhere to go? Then everything changes. Because Sam meets Emily.

Emily Bell : believes in destiny. She sings for her church choir, though she doesn’t have a particularly good voice. Nothing, she feels, is mere coincidence. And she’s singing at the moment she first sees Sam.

Everyone whose path you cross in life has the power to change you–sometimes in small ways, and sometimes in ways greater than you could have ever known. Beautifully written and emotionally profound, Holly Goldberg Sloan’s debut novel deftly explores the idea of human connection.

 

 

 

My thoughts:  I really loved this book, The story was awesome. The pace of the book was great. I think the characters of Riddle, Emily and Sam worked really well together. At times reading this book you find yourself holding your breath in anticipation of what is going to happen. I personally wanted to punch Clarence in the face haha! Overall, I think the author did a great job! I loved the ending : ) I look forward to reading more books by this author.
