Once Upon A Time Book Tag

Image
  Hello folks! Today we're doing something a tad bit different, for a few reasons. First of all, I had some people tell me that it would be cool if Wisteria Lane had some book related posts that weren't book reviews. And second, this was quicker than a full book review which was necessary for reasons that will be stated after the tag. And I get to tell y'all about more than one book at once!! So, we're here today with a book tag! *cheering*  I stole  found this tag from Lizzy at A Bit of Everything . And she got it from Tori at Sweet Obsession . Both of which are amazing blogs. Go, shoo, take a look at them. Then come back.  Alright, let's get started!!  ___________________________________ "Cinderella," a book that changed your life:  To me, this is a no brainer. God has changed my life in so many ways. I truly don't know where I'd be without His grace, mercy, and forgiveness. He's the one person who's always been there for me no matter wh...

Book Review #13 - Sunrise

Image
Thoughts: *bounces in, clutching book to chest* GUYS!  *calms down* So, I'm here to introduce you to one of my favorite authors ever. Yes, you're probably thinking something along the lines of "she's a book lover, so how many favorite authors does she have?" The answer to that: quite a few. But, Grace Livingston Hill actually is near the top of that long list of favorites.  Sunrise is such a good story! It's theme of trusting God during difficulties was a super helpful reminder for me in the last few years. I picked it up about 3 years ago, right when I first needed that reminder. I just read it once more, without remembering the storyline, and discovered it was exactly the reminder I needed.  I wouldn't say Sunrise is my favorite of Grace Livingston Hill's books, but it's still such a beautiful story. Anyway, you've heard my ramblings. Now for the rest of the review! Author: Grace Livingston Hill Genre: Romance/Historical Fiction/Mystery/Chris...

Book Review #11 - Rise of the Fallen

Thoughts: *grins widely* Hello, readers! Unfortunately, Miss Ella Grace couldn’t join us this week, so I, Raya Lee, am in charge of yet another book review. She has even been kind enough to grant me access to this blog with my own account, so that I don’t keep hacking into hers. I guess that shows that I am a good kidnapper, considering the kid I’ve nabbed (I never understood why it’s kidnapper when you’re actually nabbing the kid… so it should really be kidnabber in my opinion) granted me access to her blog. Not like I’m complaining though! Since I’ve given you some time, I figured it was time to review the second installment of the Wars of the Realm trilogy by Chuck Black! If you have not read Cloak of the Light, this post will contain some spoilers for that book. If I’m being completely honest, I didn’t read this second book until I’d read the first and last book twice through. I already had all three books at my disposal, and this second book isn’t quite as directly related to Drew...
