    Fangirl and 1984 - both so good! Is "Let the Right One In" a little red riding hood re-telling? I need to check it out.

      No...it's a vampire story, actually. The red cloak does make it seem like it would be a retelling, but it most definitely is not!

    Great list, though I haven't read many of them myself I have heard a lot of good about them. I've had Let the Right One In on my bookshelf for over a year now, so I should really read it soon!

    Ohh Fangirl, I love it. I'm hoping to get the chance to re-read that one later this summer. I'm glad to see you liked it so much too!

      It's my favorite Rainbow Rowell book! I'm very excited for the "sequel"...fingers crossed it's not Harry Potter-esque. Thanks for visiting, Carlisa :)

    Fangirl, yes! I read that my first semester of college so I really connected with it. I'm glad you read it and loved it this year! I'm hoping to do a re-read of it this summer if I find the time!

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedb...

Bianca's Vineyard (Book #13)

I've had Teresa Neumann's Bianca's Vineyard for a while now, thanks to my grandmother, but have been skipping over it to read other books.  I don't know why I did this because it was actually a great read.  Neumann is a local author who decided to write a novel about family history.  The majority of the novel is based on factual evidence and personal family interviews.  There is one portion, which I won't give away, that is only speculated at by Neumann, but what she does choose to speculate is a highly probably scenario. The book is written in a way that suggests it is being told to the reader, as well as Egisto's son and his wife, through flashbacks from Bianca in her 80's.  We know this because the font and boldness of these sections gives personal reflection from Bianca and foreshadows what she will eventually reveal.  She takes you back to the beginning of what changed the course for this family, mainly one brother of the Bertozzi family moving to A...
