Things are going great!

Hello Everyone!
Just checking in to see who has gotten their Book of the Month yet?! Mine just arrived on Monday so I have some crazy reading to do....wow-crunch time. But the book looks great. On Sharon K Souza's web page she even has a book trailer, and that really made me excited to read the book. This one is going to be a good one!
My new job is going great! I love it-learning new things, getting to know so many new and different personalities. And I am getting lots of practice on the WII, yes, I do get paid to play video games....can you imagine? But if that is what the consumer wants to do, then that is what I need to do with them. That is when we are at the center. When we are out at the gorgeous victorian houses in Ferndale cleaning that is another story. My job is definitetly interesting. And the consumers their inspire me-wow! That is all can say. Their determination, some of them, is enough to make me think again before I complain about things in my life again
God is good-in ALL things...we need to remember that!
Love and blessings to you**Deborah

New Beginnings

Hello my friends!
It was so wonderful to have our Chick Lit Book Club Meeting last weekend. Not all of you were able to make it, but we now have an official secretary for the club who takes notes and will get them for all you so you will be able to catch up on what you missed.
It was great getting together after taking the break over the holidays, and now Lucie and I are so excited for the new year to start and the new books that we will be reading.
A new beginning for me will be the new job that God has blessed me with. It will be at a business called "Reaching for Independence" I will be assisting Mentally Disabled individuals out in the community while we clean houses for people, as they become independent adults along the way. I am so excited about this new adventure that God has allowed me to be apart of, and I really just want to make a difference here in this community-in peoples lives now, otherwise, why are we on this earth? Right? I will keep you all filled in on all the wonderful stories. I am sure there will be many.
May God bless your life this week! Deborah

Hello my friends*
I can't believe how fast January went by. Now it is the month of LOVE. And speaking of Love I am so excited to say that Jeff and I get the opportunity to getaway to a special place in Napa called the Vino Bella, thanks to my parents who have a timeshare there. I am looking forward to a wonderful trip away.
I am also excited that our book club will be meeting this weekend after a couple months off. It has been great to be reading again. I just ordered our next book of the month "Lying on Sunday" by Sharon K. Souza. It should be quite interesting.
I hope all of you have been doing well.
See you soon!

I Love Discovering New Authors!!

Hey Ladies!
I just came across this author and thought I would post a little blurb about what the book is about-we should give her a try-I am going to get this book and the other one she is going to come out with soon too! The book is titled "Her Unlikely Family" And here is a little bit of what the book is about:
Opposites attract when an uptight banker encounters a free-spirited waitress during the search for his runaway teenage niece. As they work together to heal the young girl's damaged spirit, an unlikely family begins to form...

Sounds good huh? I will definitely be checking out this (new to me) author.
Have a great week!
God Bless you all!

I Love a Good Deal

When I was shopping at Winco recentley I was so thrilled to find a bin of discounted books! Yes! That is right I said discounted! And they were of the authors that we know AND love, Karen Kingsbury, Rachel Hauck, Judith Pella to name a few. The highest price I paid for some of the books I purchased was $5.99. And the lowest price was $2.99. I also saw the whole Left Behind series in the bin as well. There were a lot of books there to choose from, so if any of you go shopping up there soon-be sure to check out the great deals! I just wanted to share the new so someone else could have the same opportunity!
Happy Reading!
Deborah

Getting Back to the Books

I have been having a hard time getting into our next "Book of the Month" Thorn in My Heart by Liz Curtis Higgs. I haven't read one book since finishing the Twilight Series. But I need to snap out of it, as I miss getting away to those adventures and lives of those many characters that I had been reading about during the summer. I guess the difference also was during the summer I was not working as much as I am now either. Oh-how I loved that time. Ha!ha! Anyways, I need to get back to the books, I have several that I purchased that I am looking forward to reading and reviewing for our book club-which doesn't meet again until February, so I do have some time to give myself, thankfully.
Any of you been reading some good books I should know about? Or that I should add to my now growing list?
Hope your week is going well!
Deborah
