Book overview (Katie's Journey to love)

                           Yes that's right it's time for another book overview.  The last time I did a book overview I was reading The pretty Little liars series and it was during Thanksgiving weekend when we were in South Carolina if I am not mistaking.  After that I was desperate to read The Game Of Thrones series because Carson had received the Season 1of the series on DVD and everyone was watching it.  Carson was very kind to lend me the first book and yes I was reading I was reading I was suddenly in the mood for another genera and I resumed an Amish book that I'd purchased and was reading in Florida last April.
                                          Book overview 
                                           Katie thought her mamm (mom) would never marry again.  Not with her reputation in the Amish community as strange.  Nor did Katie ever imagine she that she could become the object of Ben Stoll's attention.  After all he is the most popular boy around...and she is just Emma Raber's daughter doomed to always be an outsider to the other Amish youth in the community.  But when mamm married Jesse Mast and Katie finds herself riding in Ben's buggy surly everything seems possible including perhaps marriage.
                                            Than Katie receives an unexpected invitation to travel to Europe to visit the birthplace of her Amish faith and even more unexpectedly the finances for the trip are handed to her in a plain envelope from an anonymous donor.  Katie can't believe how blessed she is.  But how will she make sense of her world when it comes crashing down in the aftermath of the worse betrayal she can imagine?  Will DA HAH (The Lord) get her through this?
                                               Thoughts
                                                I greatly enjoyed this book.  This was the very first Amish book that I had read that wasn't written by Beverly Lewis.  My usual author I choose when I want an Amish story.  His style is really nice and he writes as if you are speaking their language so sometimes you have to try to figure out what they are saying but it's not that hard too.   when I saw this book at the book store I thought it was going to be the typical love story girl meets boy, they court and they get engaged and end up telling their families at the end but when I glanced at the back I was wrong.  You get to find out how the Amish travel long distances and if they communicate with the Mennonites or not and yes there is some sibling rivilary involved since Katie inherited a step sister.  I would recommend this to any one who is a fan of Christian fiction or Amish fiction.  

A Valentine's wedding!

            Well as you all know yesterday was Valentine's day and As you can tell by the post there was a wedding involved.  In a way it brought back memories the last time I attended a Valentine's day wedding it was for my cousin Billy when he married his wife Amy and I was in eighth grade.  It was a gorgeous wedding and I was a reader and the bridesmaid's gowns were a gorgeous pink.  Well anyway last night my cousin Dominc's wedding was just as much fun to see everyone walk down the aisle and to be able to enjoy yourself as a guest.  Anyway the bridesmaids wore long red strapless sweetheart neckline dresses and carried white flowers that resembled lace.   The ceremony was a tradional catholic ceremony.
                       As  we walked across the street to attend the reception the place was filled with home made cookies, and desserts all home made along with appetizers.  They had everything as far as a wedding, the first dance, the tossing of the bouquet and of the garter, and they also had all the married couples dance and slowly exit depending on how long they have been married.  Uncle Bob and aunt sue won.  They have been married 65 years.  :-) Yes we stayed till the end and it was a blast.  We got home around midnight maybe later.  If you asked if I got anything for Valentine's day I did.  Of course I got cards but I also got pajama pants along with a top.  Yes as many of you very well know I made Krispy peanut butter balls for Mark and mom and gave them them on the day before since everyone was in the spirit of giving.  :-). Well better get going till next time have a good day.

If you want to know what I have learned this year it's about friendship.  I have learned that  your true friends will support you and what ever your passion might be and mine is writing.  Thank you for those who trually support my love of writing especially my best friend Jess who inspired me to create this blog in the first place and always asks me how my book is going.  Thank you Jess for sticking by me through the good and bad.  Many people who know us well can tell we are best friends because we smile at the exact same time, dress the same color and giggle without thinking.
         Yes I am still reading.  I am reading The Game of Thrones series and for those who have read the books know those are huge books and even though I love to read I am not the fastest.  That's why you haven't seen a book overview lately and I am sure that is frustrating to some of you because that's when I would update you on the novel I am working on as well.  On my novel I am on page 29 and about to write chapter 6.  A little writer's block is setting in but I will overcome it soon.  Well better go.  Hope you enjoyed reading my blog since It has been created.  More posts are to come heck I am only 26 right?  :-). Bye.
