Lost In The Rain

I read the Deer Life advanced copy by Ron Sexsmith some time ago and have been singing its praises ever since. There is really something quite enchanting about what Ron has done with this little nugget. It’s a brilliant fairy tale that begs to be read.

I’d like to be the cool mom who can recommend a book to their children that they actually enjoy. Therefore, I read a good number of YA and middle grade novels. A little while ago, I read the Best Mistake Mystery and fell in love with it. Find out why I loved the second book in this series….

Oh Honey points the finger at what happens when things go unchecked. It brings into focus the faults in our country’s rehabilitation process and is a definite reminder that there are too many Janes out there that need help.

There is a delicate thread holding these three characters together. Although the murder is what unites them all – the murder is not what makes the story; the characters do. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a character study, no – it doesn’t feel that way at all. It’s not a thriller either. What is it ? – It’s a great read no matter what category you decide to put it in.

Most of us have done it at some time or another. Whether as innocent, deceptive or little; in the end, a lie is a lie is a lie.

I wish this book would have been around when I was a teenager. The library of my childhood was dismal and lacking in fun. That is probably why I enjoy reading Young Adult books so much now. This was my first Lisa Maxwell book and it won’t be my last !

I’ve seen these all over the internet and I’ve always wanted to give rock painting a try. I love inexpensive crafts that are also beautiful and easy to do with the kids. Rocks are the perfect, inexpensive canvas for trial and error.

The book starts off with Anais Barbeau-Lavalette explaining the hate she feels for her grandmother. This blunt declaration startled me and compelled me to dive deep into the pages of Suzanne.

Reading young adult or middle grade novels is something I love doing from time to time. As a mother of an anxious Tourette’s son, I try to find books that will appeal to him. Good books, that won’t be put down after reading just one chapter – you know exactly what I’m talking about !
