Falling Into A Good Book

What’s Not True by Valerie Taylor Author Thanks to IRead Book Tours / Acorn Book Services, I was provided an Advance Reader’s Copy of ‘What’s Not True’ by Valerie Taylor. Even though it’s considered a standalone, the story began in ‘What’s Not Said’ where we find Kassie in an unhappy marriage and having an extra-marital affair with a younger man that she later learns is closer to her marriage than she ever could imagine which leads us to ‘What’s Not True’ where we find Kassie searching for her little bit of happiness with another trip abroad.  However, this trip just isn’t quite the same and receives news that cuts her vacation short and having to return home to the trials that await and never seem to go away. This story provides you with characters you love to hate and characters that find it in themselves to take the higher road even when faced with the selfishness of others. It’s a story of Family. A story of Friendships. A story of Love. And a Story of Forgiveness It’s a story...

Where do I even begin with this book? With the first  few pages, I was unsure with how I was going to be able to get through this book, but I quickly learned it’s not at all what it seemed it would be and I began to quickly fly through it. While reading, I couldn’t help but think about my own family, especially my grandmother, and all the things we shared and the stories she told. Makes me wish that I would have asked more, learned more, or had kept a notebook with the stories about her life, recipies and traditions. Which for Luna, she did.  Luna, the main character, began keeping a journal when she was young, off and on, and into adulthood. Even though she was not consistent in her entries, she captured things that meant something to her at that time.  Little did she know, after forgetting her journal at a cafe, the impact she would have on a complete stranger which believe it or not, she later meets at a bookstore and forms a long-lasting friendship that carries her t...

Kate Connelly’s life hasn’t been the same since her mother’s death. Her dad works all the time and often comes home late or not at all. When he is home, he is very demanding and places many of the household chores and responsibilities on Kate who is also helping raise her two younger brothers and working part-time at a local diner to help pay the bills. Being seventeen and having all these responsibilities doesn’t leave Kate much time to do anything else. One evening while working at the diner two mysterious guys show up, one in particular, harassing her much of the time and the other giving her a feeling that something may be off which is confirmed when she runs into them one evening on the wrong side of town and again when one of them begin attending her school. She learns later that he is actually a cadet from the military school who has been sent to  actively pursue her younger, gifted brother.  This book definitely keeps you in suspense and wanting to know more what exac...

My goal this year is to read the Bible in it’s entirety. Being Catholic we never spend much time reading the Bible. Sure scripture is referenced in Mass but never really get a full understanding. So this is my goal. It has enlightened me both spiritually and mentally (mind, body and soul).  I’m loving my SRT Bible.  For more on this Bible and my journey reading the Bible, follow me on  Facebook - She Walks In Faith: A Journey With God Instagram: @swif_ajourneywithgod Blog:    https://swifajourneywithgod.blogspot.com

This has been sitting on my shelf for way too long. I think it’s been for a year or two but now I’ve become a little motivated after seeing The Luminaries trailer for the STARZ channel. So here I am, giving it a go. 😊

As a reviewer for iReadBookTours, I was very excited to read ‘What’s Not Said’ by Valerie Taylor. From the first page to the last, the reader is kept guessing how things will turn out. Kassie O’Callaghan is planning on leaving her husband and her long-dead marriage of the past few years, in order to be with a young man who pays her the attention she is looking for. Kassie’s husband, Mike, is a man that is not very likable and it is easy to want to see Kassie move on with her life. But Mike interrupts her plans of divorce due to a long-held secret involving a chronic disease. Mike needs Kassie to stick around and provide him the care he needs. Throughout the story, you see and experience the strained relationship between Kassie and Mike, and you find yourself just wanting them to be done. But then there’s another twist of more secrets and more deception. Will she stay? Will she go?

Author Brit Lunden does not disappoint in The Devil and Dayna Dalton which is book 9 in the BULWARK Anthology.  Her fast-paced easy reads suck you in from the very beginning. You can’t help but not want to know more about the residents of BULWARK. In book 9, you get to learn more about Ms. Dayna Dalton who you only catch a glimpse of in the first book, BULWARK. You become more aware of Dayna and her love for a certain sheriff but that is quickly changes with a new, and more dangerous, mystery man or creature. Find what out happens and if Dayna finds her possibly happily ever after.

Another great read from author, Brit Lunden, who provides a little more insight into the life of JB Stratton who originally appeared in the BULWARK. It’s a great love story between two people, JB and Ellie, who were destined for each other. You can’t help but get wrapped up in their story from those euphoric feelings of new love and even some heartbreak. There’s no doubt that once you pick this up, you won’t put it down!

Brit Lunden’s, BULWARK, is a fast-paced easy read that keeps you guessing to the point that you don’t want to put it down! It immediately begins with a mysterious pond, a sheriff whose life becomes even more complicated outside of his deteriorating marriage, and reports of wolf sightings and even possible evidence leading to the existence of vampires? One thing is for sure, that Bulwark is no ordinary place! Brit Lunden
