Happy Wednesday Everyone, To those observing Ash Wednesday, hope you have a good beginning to Lent. What's your favorite season? Since I love sunshine and cool weather, anything happy like Christmas and Easter attract me. I love the lights at Christmas, the carols, presents, everything. It's about anticipation and joy. Easter is about new life, second chances, and redemption. So what's yours and why? Hope everyone has a good Lent. Have A Wonderfully Winsome Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday Everyone, When I was growing up I read Maud Hart Lovelace's Betsy-Tacy Books:  Betsy-Tacy Betsy Tacy & Tib Betsy-Tacy Go Over Big Hill Betsy-Tacy Go Downtown Heavens To Betsy Betsy In Spite Of Herself Betsy Was A Junior Betsy And Joe Betsy And The Great World Years later, I found Betsy's Wedding and finally got to see Betsy happily married and settled. I now own all the books, including Betsy's Wedding and have read them at least once through, if not more since I got them a few years back. Growing up there were other series I got into, but I don't think I've read those series as much as I've read this one. To me, there's something incredibly personal about the fact that the characters and events bear a strong resemblance to the author, her friends and events in the author's life. It's part of the appeal. You feel like these characters are real. You want to be their friends. You want so badly to walk ...

Happy Thursday All, Some of my favorite books are ones that left me with a warm feeling in my heart and/or a smile on my face.   Here's a few of them:   Lesley Livingston with her Wondrous Strange trilogy (according to her blog she has a new release coming out July 2011) Shanna Swendson with her Enchanted, Inc. books Christie Craig with Shut Up And Kiss Me (She has a new release coming out August 2011).   Oh yeah and the list continues:   Jackson Pearce's As You Wish (She has a new release coming out August 2011, and one in sometime in 2012). Suzanne Selfors Coffeehouse Angel (She had a new release in April--the book wasn't a children's book, by the way--apparently several authors contributed to the release that came out this past April. It's called Hotel Angeline: A Novel In 36 Voices ).   Georgette Heyer's The Grand Sophy   Of course, I could name more. You see...I have a love affair with books. I consider them some...
