After working on my own work for the last month and half, which is about the last time I posted anything, I have finally sat down and read a book. I'm sorry it took so long, but I have been trying to keep my my open for my own ideas to flow onto paper, or in this day and age onto the computer. I have been working so hard on trying to get the second book, part 2, of my characters story done. I also started working a YA fantasy book. I'm hoping I can do it. Witches and Faeries and the rush to save the faery princess. Now as to not spoil what I'm working on with that I will leave it at that.
Now for the book I read. It was call Just For You by Leen Elle, but I can't find it on amazon.com anymore. Not sure if she took it off the list of kindle books, or what. If this is something you downloaded on your kindle or device you use for kindle, then I recommend that you read it.
I didn't want to put it down even though I had sometimes. It is a kind of romance. Not so much in it. Only one small part towards the end. I believe it is about showing that if one person just takes the time to be nice to another person and try and be friends that maybe that person will change a life. Also, I think it says just because sometimes your life feels like crap remember there is always tomorrow to be better and someone else could be having an even worse day than you.
I love the characters. There is Imogen, crazy unique name for a lady, and Cameron Moody. Imogen first meets Cameron when he is running late for work and pulls right into her and sprains her ankle. He takes her back into his apartment and bandages her up. That is when she sees a book very familiar to her. It is a week or so later that they run into each other again in a store when he is getting groceries. She was buying flowers. She invites him to join her for lunch and ends up eating lunch at his apartment and watching a game. The next he sees her is when his friend is coming over and she shows up before his friend, Todd, does. He tries to ignore the door. That didn't happen.
He is kind of bitter. He doesn't want to be her friend, but she keeps showing up. Do you think they will ever be friends? Want to know if they ever become more than friends? If you have downloaded it then read it. If you haven't then I wish could.
This book, I think brings a whole new prospective to people. It is worth the read if you can. I wish there was some way to get those who wish to read it from my library of books.
It may take me awhile between posts. I have 2 maybe 3 or 4 books that I am working on. When my brain feels fried is when I read. Reading also inspires me. I will try my best not to wait so long for me to read the next book. Oh and I will confess that this one was not the first one. I did read another, but I wasn't into it and took me forever to read. I couldn't get into. It was a historical romance, and took place in I want to say the highlands or the upper parts of England. Not sure because it is a mix of medieval English, meaning England, and either Ireland or Scotland tongue. It was called The Warrior's Maiden by Denise Domning. It might just be, but it felt like it would never get to where it was going. At least not in the beginning. After they got to the sheriff's homestead, it took off. Then I wanted to read it.
If you're like me and want to read through the parts that feel like it is dragging to see if there is somewhere it gets interesting for you, then you may wish to read it. It's on amazon.com. It available for $2.99. Now to warn you this is the 2nd book of 3. I did not know this at the time of starting to read it. The first one is The Warrior's Wife. If you like to read series in order. I know I do unless I didn't know it was a series to begin with.
I hope you enjoy some of the reads as I have. I only write my opinion of what I think about the book. If I don't like it or at first didn't like and then toward the of the book I did like it, I will let you know.
I feel that even if I don't like the book there will be someone out there that does. We all have our separate opinions on the things we read. I grew up with the love of books. One of the first big chapter books i ever read was a classic, The Little Women. I love that book and watched the movies. The next one I read was Moby Dick. The more I read the more my love of books grew. I had a friend introduce me to The Babysitter Club books. I read as many as I could borrow in school. As time went on I found my love romance. I also have a love of reading Shakespeare's work. For a while I was all about reading romance, but in the recent years I have let myself venture back in time to read some YA novels. I have found I like more than just romance.
That brings me to saying that all you have to do is start reading something to know if you like that genre. Don't rely on just one piece of work from a certain genre to determine if you like that genre. Just because one piece doesn't give you interest doesn't mean there is nothing in that genre you won't like. You have to be open minded and try. If you don't want to then that is your prerogative. I'm not saying you have to reading everything, I sure don't. I'm not a big fan of Science Fiction. I stay away from it for the most part. I do like some fantasy, most of includes romance. Yes, I have read the Star Wars books, only because I had been dating someone who was a huge fan. I will say I tried to read The Lord of The Ring, but I didn't understand it. Yes it was because another guy I dated was into that, but he also read romance novels and introduced me to some of my favorite authors today. Unfortunately, my husband isn't a big reader, well he doesn't read at all, but I have past my love of books to both my children. The imitate what you do, and both my son and daughter watch me read all the time, and because neither is reading on their own yet, I read to them as well. I have also taught them from a very young age how to treat books.
So you see just because I tell you how much I like or dislike a book doesn't mean you will like or dislike the same thing s as I do. I hope this helps you find some good reads. I will maybe start posting reviews on Goodreads.com as well. You can add me as a friend on there. if you like. That way you can see what I'm reading before I post something here.
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy you reads.
Thank you!
