Rebecca's Choice by Jerry Eicher

Popular Amish fiction author Jerry Eicher finishes the Adam’s County Trilogy with an intriguing story of a young couple’s love, a community of faith, and devotion to truth.

Rebecca Keim is now engaged to John Miller, and they are looking forward to life together. When Rebecca goes to Milroy to attend her beloved teacher’s funeral, John receives a mysterious letter accusing Rebecca of scheming to marry him for money. Determined to forsake his past jealousies and suspicions, John tries hard to push the accusations from his mind.

Upon Rebecca’s return, disturbing news quickly follows. She is named as the sole heir to her teacher’s three farms. But there’s a condition—she must marry an Amish man. When John confronts Rebecca, she claims to know nothing. Soon Rachel Byler, the vengeful but rightful heir to the property, arrives and reveals secrets from the past. Now the whole community is reeling!

My Review - This book was pretty good...Rachael did get on my nerves through-out the book and I thought it was pretty low the things she would do to get the money. Although the ending was sad I thought it was appropriate. This was also my favorite book out of the whole trilogy. And I'll probably read other books by Eicher. So overall I gave it a 4 star!

Candle in the Darkness by Lynn Austin

Book 1 in the Refiner's Fire series. The daughter of a wealthy slave-holding family from Richmond, Virginia, Caroline Fletcher is raised in a culture that believes slavery is God-ordained and biblically acceptable. But upon awakening to the cruelty and injustice it encompasses, Caroline's eyes are opened for the first time to the men and women who have cared tirelessly for her. Her journey of maturity and faith will draw her into the abolitionist movement, where she is confronted with the risks and sacrifices her beliefs entail.

My Review -

This book was pretty good and I absolutely LOVED the ending...I took me a while to get into the book cause it was set back in the 1860's and that's not usually the type of writing I read but I love all of Austin's other books so I knew after I got into this book I'd like it as well. I will be reading the other books in this series and I can't wait to read them! :) I only gave it a 3 star, instead of 4 or 5, because I'm quiet stingy with my 4 and 5 stars! :)

Saturday 9: Hey Jealousy

Saturday 9: Hey Jealousy

1. When was the last time that you got jealous? Hum...It's been a while. I remember around Christmas being jealous of a girl at work who was pregnant. Only because I'd love to have a baby of my own. BUT God will supply that when He sees fit and that's what I keep telling myself. So being jealous really was silly!

2. At what point do you finally decide it's time to move forward with your life (like, major changes)? How do you know? What do you do? When God tells you to move forward you move forward. When He closes a door, He'll open another one.

3. When is it time to just let it ('it' can be whatever you choose) go? How do you know? What do you do? See the answer to number 2! :)

4. How many times must someone push your buttons before you've just had enough? Why? Only about two or three times.

5. If I S/O were to cheat on you, could you ever see yourself giving them a second chance? Or a third? Not really. If he wanted someone else then he should end it with me first! Or visa versa.

6. What was the last thing that someone did that you were very grateful for? Buy me Rita's!

7. How much time do you spend online in a given weekday? What about the weekends? I'd say around 2 or 3 hours per weekday and maybe 8 or 9 hours on the weekends. Just depends on how tired I am.

8. How many online journals/blogs do you read regularly? What are some of your favorites and why? About six or seven. I'm a nosey person! haha...

9. What was the last major purchase that you made? Well, we paid off my car...So it was just fully purchased in March. Other then that we just bought iPhones!

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

Six Word Saturday

Sinus’ make spring very nasty, blah!

I honestly like the spring weather where it's nice enough outside to not have your ac on or your heat. BUT my head and face could really stop hurting and spring would be ten times better!

Rebecca's Return by Jerry Eicher

I liked this book a lot more then the first in the series. It dragged for me a bit in the middle where it was just about how upset they were about John. And I was sure that something more would go on with Emma but I guess that will be saved for the third book. I gave this book three stars cause I liked it! :) I started this book on 04/22/10 and I finished it on 04/29/10.

Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult is one of my favorite authors. I love her writing and the stories she tells. One of her other books, My Sister's Keeper, is by far my favorite book ever. I also liked her book The Pact. This book was a little different but I liked this book okay. It wasn't my favorite of her's but it definitely wasn't my least favorite either. And it kind of dragged for a little bit in the middle. I knew from the get go about Kurt but I would have never guessed about Grace. I gave this book 3 stars. I started reading it on 04/02/10 and I finished it on 04/22/10.

Saturday 9: Hurts so Good

1. Tell us about the last time you really got hurt. Hum...I guess it was like getting hurt. I'm allergic to latex and it's only around my mouth. That was found out by the dentist using latex. My lips blew up and it was bad. But it hurt so does that count?

2. What's your oldest possession? At my parents house I have a Cabbage Patch Kid that I had from being very little, his name is Brian. But here at my house my oldest possession is probably panda blanket that my aunt Susie gave me or the green cups that were my mom and dad's. You are probably thinking the green cups are like china or something but they are actually just plastic cups. Nothing taste as good in anything else! haha

3. Do you have any phobias? Spiders and drinking or eating anything that's bad. I've always been scared of spiders but the drinking and eating anything that's bad has just surfaced in the past year. I smell milk before I drink it every time I get ready to drink it!

4. What values did your parents instill in you? To trust in God no matter what, to treat people how I wanted to be treated, to be honest all the time, and they love me!

5. What are your plans for Easter? Sonrise service tomorrow morning then back for regular services and then a cook-out at my mom's!

6. I like sun more than snow. That is a FALSE statement. I LOVE snow!

7. Tell us about 3 fads from your teenage years. I don't know about my teenage years but as a child the fads were side ponytails, leggings, and big hair.

8. Tell us what is the most important attribute in a lover. That they be more concerned with making sure the other person is happy.

9. What new piece of technology have you resisted buying and what would it take for you to change your mind? A smart phone, and it would take the prices dropping majorly!

Hidden Places by Lynn Austin

** spoiler alert ** I really liked this book until it got to Eliza's story and the whole circus bit just doesn't appeal to me I guess. But I loved Aunt Batty and Gabe. I could also tell from the get go that Eliza would fall in love with Gabe and Aunt Batty would fall in love with Walter but I wanted to find out how it all happened. It was an amazing story with the exception of Eliza's circus bit. With that I kept waiting for something major to happen to her for her to have hid it from everyone for so long.

But all that being said I can't wait for the next Lynn Austin book I'll read.

What annoys you about talking on the phone? I can't stand to talk on the phone...Weird I may be but I just don't like to do it. I would rather drive to see someone to talk to them instead of talking on the phone. It annoys me that you don't know when or what to say hanging up.

What annoys you about the over-used terms that people use? I don't know...Don't really have anything for this one.

What annoys you about restaurant foods? Well, my husband being a chef I, expect a LOT out of restaurant foods. It annoys me when I go to a restaurant and it is not as good as it should be.

What annoys you about restaurant servers? When they don't keep check on your table, or they act like you are crazy when you ask for certain stuff.

What annoys you about reading other blogs? Don't really know. I guess when a blog has so much stuff on it that it takes forever to load the page. If this is ever my page please inform me!

What annoys you about driving on the highway? People who drive slow when getting onto the interstate or people driving in the left lane slowly.

What annoys you about kids? When their parents don't control them in public. Like when you are out at the restaurant and the kids are running around crawling under the tables and stuff. I am a firm believer in spankings! If you don't like that then don't watch me when I have children raise my children how I feel they should be raised.

What annoys you about your gender? Cattyness. Women are so catty sometimes. Granted I'm catty to at times.

What annoys you about the opposite sex? They don't have to go through childbirth! HA

Rebecca's Promise by Jerry S. Eicher

I had posted before that I was going to stop posting my reviews of books. I'm rethinking this for a few reasons. First, books are a HUGE part of my life. You will hardly ever catch me without a book. (I take a book to church and leave it in the car!!). Second, I love to read reviews from other people on books because it helps me add titles to my TBR list that is ever growing. And third, I know you really wanna read what I read! haha. So, here it is......

This book was pretty good. There needed to be more trial in it though. I liked the story of Rebecca and Atlee and I'm so glad she got to see him one more time to ease her mind. It was a short and sweet story. I'll read the next book whenever my library gets it. I gave this book a 3 out of 5 stars for just liking it.

When I post a book I always rate it with stars. I get these stars from http://www.goodreads.com/ where I post all of my books. It's an awesome site you should check it out! Anyhow, here are the ratings...
1 star - didn't like it
2 stars - it was okay
3 stars - liked it
4 stars - really liked it
5 stars - it was amazing!

I'm picky with my 4 and 5 stars for the simple fact that if a book gets a 5 star it better blow me away and I can think of nothing else for days. To get a 4 star then a book has to be a book that I can't put down but that after it's done I don't think about it. Does my thinking make sense? haha. Anyhow, happy reading!

Your thoughts please...

http://www.stylelist.com/2010/03/10/how-long-can-you-go-without-washing-your-hair/

So I came across that article last night and thought that I couldn't go that long without washing my hair. It's hard for me to go without washing it on Saturday's. But during the week it is a must that I wash everyday. If I didn't you'd be able to have oil for your car just from my hair. haha. That was a stretch but seriously if I go one day without washing my hair then it'll be oily and nasty. So my question for you is how often do you wash your hair?

I wash and condition my hair everyday. I wash it just so it won't be oily and then I condition it because otherwise I wouldn't be able to pull a comb through it after washing it.

My thoughts....

So I haven't posted here lately because I haven't had much to say...Anyhow, here's my thoughts...

I have baby fever and it is crazy. I know that God will give me a child whenever He sees fit not when I see fit and for that I'm thankful. So when Jamie and I get pregnant it'll be awesome, until then try will be fun! haha

I am one of the crazy people that want to have more snow. And we have a saying here where I live that if it thunders in the winter then it'll snow in 7 days. Well, it thundered last night so we shall see if that saying is true or not! BUT I so want it to be true. Just one more snow before it gets to that yucky hot weather outside!

Jamie's brother is getting married and I'm so excited to be getting a sister-in-law. They are getting married in July :)

I usually say that I'm going to spend my Saturday's cleaning and then end up not doing a thing except for the laundry. Today has been different though. I've washed the dishes and put them up, made the bed, cleaned the bathroom all up, and I'm finishing up laundry now! :) Feels good to accomplished something on my day off, I'll try this more often.

I'm an avid reader and it gets on my nerves whenever I can't read as much as I want to. But I'm enjoying reading more this year since I don't have a set goal. I want to read all of the Jodi Picoult books and I only have two more books left! :)

That's enough for now...Hope you have a great night...

Sunday Stealing: The Negativity Meme

I usually try to be a pretty postive person and always look at things in a postive way but I had to do this meme.

Foods which disgust the crap out of me: where to begin...I don't like beans unless it's chili beans. Livers are nasty. Asparagus is really yucky! BUT my ultimate unfavorite food is Pinto Beans they just look sicking!

TV show I loathe: Hum...I don't think I really have one but I don't care for That 70's Show if that counts.

Movie I loathe: SAW any of them. They are freakish and just wrong and scary too...The first one was okay and then my husband and I went to see Saw II and I cried all the way through the movie.

Music genres I loathe: This may amaze some people but I don't like country at all.

Magazine which annoys me: Don't have one.

Makes me cranky at restaurant: Well since NC made all restaurants non-smoking, I'd have to say the things that makes me cranky in a restaurant is people who don't control their children.

Makes me cranky in public: Stupid people. If I'm in a hurry and people driving slow that makes me cranky. Or people going to fast. haha

Makes me cranky in general: See above two answers. Stupid people and people who don't control their children.

Pisses me off at home: Dishes being left either in the living room or being left waiting to wash to long (I'm guilty of it too though).

Pisses me off at work: I work with a bunch of women and sometimes we can all be catty.

Pisses me off in general: Doesn't piss me off but I don't like to talk on the phone.

Makes me impatient at home: Nothin' really...

Makes me impatient at work: When the children don't listen. haha...

Makes me impatient in public: Unfriendly people. If I'm coming through your line at the grocery store and you are the cashier say how are you (even if you don't care) and say thank you (even if you don't care).

Celebrity I hate: I think Lady Gaga is over-rated. She's weird!

Music artist I hate: Kayne West (I call him K-9 when I talk about him)

I could care less about: having the right clothes. I would rather wear something comfortable then something that's in style.

Annoys the crap out of me weekdays: getting up early. I am not a morning person. I'd rather stay up late and sleep late.

Annoys the crap out of me weekends: I still wake up early, although most of the time I roll over and go back to sleep.

Blogger's habit that annoys you: music on the profile all the way at the bottom where you have to wait for the page to load and then stop the music.

Feature on your blog you hate: music.

Movie star you despise: don't despise him but I'm not a Brad Pitt fan.

Politician that you hate: Again, hates a strong word but so I don't hate any politician.

Six Word Saturday and Prayers Please....

Please pray, my aunt passed away.

My aunt passed away yesterday around 4:45pm so we are thankful for any prayers. Thanks! :)

Friday Fill-In #160 & Other stuff...

So I was supposed to post a blog yesterday but I came home from work at about 6pm and then thought well, I'm tired so I'll take a nap. That nap turned into bedtime. So last night I went to bed at 6:30pm and slept til this morning at 7:15 when I got up for work! So I'm well rested. haha...

Anyhow, here's my Friday Fill-Ins! :)

1. You have a chance to go, GO NOW!
2. GO right now!
3. There is a lot going on in my world.
4. Do NOT credit items and pay later.
5. It's time to man up and pay your debts!
6. It's all up in the air but at least I know where I'm going in the end (do you?).
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing at home but ended up at the hospital with my aunt, tomorrow my plans include laundry and visiting the hospital and Sunday, I want to go to church and spend time with family!


P.S. I'd like everyone to keep my aunt, Karen, and our family in your prayers. She has cancer and it's in it's final stages so there is nothing they can do for her except make her comfortable now. Thanks so much!

Monday Mayhem - The Scenario

The Scenario

Welcome to Monday Mayhem, where no two Mondays are the same.
Today's meme is the scenario meme. For each prompt, simply write your best answer.

1. You see a strange car pull up to your neighbor's house every day at lunch time. You accidental glance into the window of the house and notice that your 'happily married neighbor' is fooling around! What do you do? Mind my own business and pray for them (by the way, why am I home everyday at lunch???)

2. You are at the mall and a mom with really annoying screaming little kids is walking in front of you. She goes to give her kids a quarter for the giant gum ball machine and she accidentally drops a $10 bill and doesn't realize it. What do you do? Pick up and give it back to her. Was there really a question about this? haha

3. You get an email from a candy company telling you that they will send you 6 pounds of delicious chocolate if you blog about their product. When you get the product and try it you realize that it is the worst chocolate that you have ever tasted. What do you do? Post honestly and then decline the chocolate when they try to give it to you.

4. Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous and annoying things someone could do. Yet, what would you do if you were driving and listening to the radio when the announcer says that he will give $10,000 to the first person with your name that texts a message to him? Pull over and text right then and there. Mind you, you probably won't make it to be the first one but it's still worth a shot!

5. You've been invited to your boss's house for a dinner party. It's dark out and there is poor lighting when you get there. As soon as you get inside you realize that you have stepped in dog poop and you have tracked into your boss's house. What do you do? Point it out to her and apologize. Then clean it up.

6. You are at a restaurant waiting for your food to arrive. You've waited nearly 30 minutes since the moment you placed your order when your food finally shows up. There is a hair on the top of the food. Do you send it back and wait another 30 minutes or do you deal? Um, I send it back and ask to speak to the manager then I get up and leave.

7. If you had the power to do so, what would be the one question that you would like to ask anyone who reads this? Why don't more people comment on post? Everyone loves to get comments, so please leave a thought.

Six Word Saturday

Wishes I was done with school!!!!!

Last semester, I can do it! :) How about you got 2 six word sentences...HAHA

Random...

Completely random post...Have you ever noticed that I mainly post on the weekends? That's cause I forget to check blogger through-out the week.

Does anyone else get post from random people and usually about viagra or something? Can we say REJECT, that is a prime example of why all comments have to be approved by me.

I just love DVR and watching recorded shows with my husband. That's the life. But then again I love to just spend time with him! We watch House (which was really funny this week), American Idol (the auditions are funny), Biggest Loser (to help encourage us) and many more.

My birthday is coming up and I feel like I'm getting old! Especially when children come into the daycare that I work at that I had 4 years ago and they are in 3rd grade.

So to keep me to check up on blogger through-out the week I'm going to try to start doing like a Ten Facts Thursday...

1. I like chocolate.
2. I dislike liquid meds, just can't take them.
3. I'm a Christian.
4. I am turning into my mother more and more everyday, not that it's a bad thing!
5. I want to learn how to use Paint Shop Pro so I can design different things.
6. My least favorite food is probably beans. Unless they are chili beans.
7. I wished I took more pictures for memories.
8. Winter is my favorite season.
9. Summer is my least favorite season.
10. I love to read (like you didn't know that?!)

Hope you enjoyed this!
