it has been a while since i’ve posted some book recommendations.

with summer in full swing, my piles of books are large and my reading appetite is larger.

i love sitting outside on my swing getting lost in another time and place.

Signs of Life by Natalie Taylor

a true story of a young woman whose husband dies shortly before she gives birth to their first child.  her book is raw and emotional.  what she is feeling during her journey.  i could feel her pain and hurt and then her slow climb out of darkness.  wonderful book.

Chosen by a Horse by Susan Richards

Get this book!!!

another true story.  susan rescues a horse. sounds simple enough.  what follows is an amazing love story.  i couldn’t put this book down.  i still get emotional when i think of it.  makes me want to rescue a horse.

coming up for air by patti callahan henry

i admit i chose this book because of the pretty cover.

a true summer read.  ellie’s marriage is a little stale.  when her mother passes away, she heads to a summer house where her mother stayed in the 60′s to find out a little more about her past.  enter handsome old boyfriend and some great locations and you have the perfect summer read.  i liked this book and picked up another one by the same author.

3 books to get you going.

do you have any recommendations for me?
