Pool party; book review
Well it's another beautiful day that Joy and Katey had decided to come on up and get some sun and just chill. Just like Hailee and I had did yesterday we just laid out by the pool and did some girl talking. I would today was more of a party than yesterday because yesterday it was just Hailee and I laying out by the pool talking and playing with Onyx and today Joy, and Katey, were with me along with mom even though mom kept on disappearing every now and than to do a load of laundry. Nathan was even home and had even ordered a pizza for all of us but Hailee will probably not be joining us till a little later due to attending her sister's bridal shower. But anyway I am happy to say as I was waiting for everyone to arrive I finally finished the book I was reading.
I told you on a previous post that I was reading the book called The Mercy by Beverly Lewis. The amish author that writes the series of books about amish families. Have you ever fallen in love with the characters in a series and you are sad to say good bye to those particular characters when the last book comes to an end? In this case that is what happened. I have grown to love the protagonist which was Rose and her sister and their amish family and friends. These characters in this Rose trilogy drew me closer then to any other series I have ever read of hers. Here is brief review of each book.
Book 1 The Thorn Set in Lancaster County two sisters, self absorbed, and impulsive Hen who left her old order amish family to marry a man of the world, and the sweet obedient Rose Ann, the younger sister whose slim shoulders hold responsible for the crippled mother's care, are both troubled in spirit. Hen now has a four year old daughter and yearns for a life at her parent's house forsaking her husband. Rose Anne finds solace in currying and riding her father's driving horses accompanied by her dear childhood friend Nick who refuses to attend church.
Book 2 The judgement Rose is now engaged but loves another, and Hen is dealing with her outsider husband and his divorce threats.
Book 3 The Mercy Both sisters yearn for new beginnings. Rose finds love and Hen cares for her injured husband. Yes I read all three of them, like I said you have to read them in order because the end leaves you hanging. Well anyway as I've read some of her novels you learn words of another language. But anyway enough boasting about the book I am just curious. For any of those that are reading my blog and who I would call a book worm what are some series of books that you have come to love? I will share mine.
