Plain Proposal by Beth Wiseman
Plain Proposal was anything but plain. Beth Wiseman is an expert writer in that she knows what readers really want in a book. Something that makes us think, doesn't use foul language and leads us more and more toward our Lord and Savior. She delivers every time.
In this next part of the series, Shelby is an "English" young woman who has had a troubled life since her parents divorce and is being sent to live with her Amish relatives. Miriam and her parents are not sure what to expect when Shelby arrives. Will she be a good influence on Miriam or a negative one?
Miriam has been in love with Saul Fisher for as long as she can remember. What joy to find out maybe he feels the same way. However, Saul wants to leave the only way they have ever known to live and go to live amongst the "English".
Lots of other little sideline stories going on in here as well, Beth weaves everything so well you just gobble up the story, and before you know it it is over way too soon!

Review: Sisterhood Everlasting
Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares
They are back! Better than ever, 10 years later.. My 4 favorite young ladies have grown up, and although a large part of the book is a mystery, by the end it will all click.
Heartbreaking, but we all know life goes on so this book will have you wanting more..loving EVERY word and minute you read. Ann Brashares knows what readers want and she gave it to us.
Each one of them have endearing qualities I love. I feel like there could be another, so many loose ends in a sense..
I don't want to give away anything so I am not going to go into what happened in the book, I want you to read and find out. Just know that your time will NOT be wasted if you are a fan!!

Review: The Mice of Bistrot des Sept Frères
The Mice of Bistrot des Sept Frères by Marie Letourneau
Couldn't ask for a better subject! Mice and cooking. A family that has a restaurant wants to make the best cheese soup, each having their own part. VERY cute story, with French thrown in the mix, lots of fun to read outloud over and over.
The pictures were very delightful and excellent. Doesn't downplay to kids, but makes it fun to learn french and a good story of working together to achieve a shared goal!

Review: Magnolia Wednesdays
Magnolia Wednesdays by Wendy Wax
Cute, typical but a good fluff read. Vivi is an independent woman who lives an edgy lifestyle as a journalist. She fancies herself a wonderful writer and a single independent woman. However the bottom drops out of her life when she is replaced by someone younger, shot in the buttocks and surprise surprise she is pregnant.
So she heads home, as we all do when the going gets rough. She doesn't tell anyone in her family she is pregnant or she is writing this article anon. about surburbia and the crazy people in it.
Then she thinks there is something fishy about her brother-in-law's "accidental" death and investigates secretly. However, we must all remember our secrets catch up with us and they might hurt more than help.
Also, Vivi's boyfriend Stone is a reporter as well and is overseas at the time so Vivi doesn't tell him she is pregnant with their baby, so how will it all end?
I am sure you can guess, which takes some of the fun out of it. A few surprises mixed in, but generally a story you can breeze through and doesn't really take your breath away...
