May Book Review

Let's Get into it...Its long overdue

I know I haven't done book review in a long time and equally for long time escaping into any novel wasn't relaxing or was my form of escaping reality. Saying that and taking a slip of coffee, fully knowing that I have tons to books to catch up to read and review before summer begins. And yes my friends who sent me books to review, I promise to get yours next. But I am not going to lie , I might have a book problem on my hands, I say this every year but it seems I require more books and more books than I read but I wouldn't change it either way to have giant library one day. Enough of my babbling on, I could talk for hours on books alone.

Virgin River, we all know is a popular Netflix series and if you are like me , you fell in love with it within a few short minutes into episode one. And I know why I love it each page , each episode. And that's right down to each character, each character is strong and each person is a leading role no one outstands another.

I promise not to give to much away.. I will try at least but just thinking about this series makes me want to share everything !

Virgin River :Shelter Mountain

Shelter Mountain is the second novel in the series. And once you are in the novel, you are full of roller-coaster emotions and be sure to have a tissues on hand and maybe a snack of something as well. Because you are going to want to finish this novel before dusk sets. This story is about Paige coming to Virgin River to hide out from her abusive husband with their son Christopher. What Paige didn't plan is staying in the little town for as long as she did. And Peacher didn't expect to fall in love at the same time besides to help Paige. Who would of thought that Peacher to turn into Teddy bear. Watching and reading the whole town to protect Paige , a woman they didn't know much about and yet protected her as just one of their own. That's the way life of people in Virgin River , they step up for everyone without a second thought.

Ricky and Liz the young in love birds , I call them . They both fall in love unexpectedly and held each other through the toughest moment in their lives. This novel is definitely a story of the unexpected to happen and trust me by saying that would be a understatement and yet very True. I would say refer to Jack and Mel on the subject. And to refence that, once you get to pages 333 to 337; one could truly understand . Side note those pages is my favorite part in the novel. The underlining theme of this novel is ; Everyone deserves a place to call home, a place to feel safe and to escape to. Virgin River seems to the home to the unexpected ones who need it the most then never leaves the tiny town and end up calling it Home forever. And before I forget to mention Mike , the ex-marine, ex cop his story coming to the little couldn't have fitted more perfectly for his recovery and for his next chapter in this life. One more thing to note, who would thought Dan would be such a rescuer.

Virgin River : Whispering Rock

Whispering Rock is the third in the series. And by the time you are through this novel. You will be thinking the same thing I thought , "There is definitely in that water at virgin water. And when can I drink some ". My first thoughts after finishing this novel was that , Carr out did herself again. A novel full of tragic events, mistakes but in the end turned into the most beautiful story. Whispering Rock hit me in away that I could only understand why . It makes you think about things in your life and the relations from your life to the novel. Whispering Rock did have the same thing has shelter mountain did but it build on it. This one is not a book you want to miss picking up. And there is lots exciting news in-between the crazy chapters.

In this novel, I fell in love with Brie and Mike's story. So many layers between them , teaching each other to love, to trust and their passion is undeniable. They were both broken in their own situation and yet from their individual tragedy brought them together not knowing they were meant to be all along as fate would have it. Brie is one strong , brilliant lawyer that you want as a best friend. By the end of the novel , she was built even stronger through all her struggles; you will feel her emotions coming off the pages. I loved the parts about Peacher and Paige, Who knew Peacher would be like this a relationship ; being a marine. I can't wait to read more about Paul, The General; Vanessa and Tom; so much more depth to explore between them.

All in the end

You need the Virgin River book series in your life and it's better than the show. But again I am one of those book nerds that will prefer the novels over the shows, movies etc. And you know that I am going to report on my progress in completing the whole series and hopefully by the end of the year. I hope you all take my recommendation and dive right into the series with me as well.

Each book seems to get better page by page; each character that get introduced. Let me say when character that comes through the story and you think you understood them. There is a curve ball and more of their own story comes out , each one of them is full of much more depth and we has readers just scratch the surface. Carr seems to write with such grace and effortless each time. As if we are right in the center of the novel and not in our own world. I never loved a whole group of characters more then Virgin River.

I did try my very best not to share every detail from the novels and believe me I still want to .... But then you all won't read them. If you only saw my hand written notes in my book review journal , the secrets they contain from the hours reading out the sun. These stories are worth reading and the feels you will feel while reading will feel like you are hearing them around a group of best friends. I am already ordering the next two as soon as this live!

P.S: This Book review would of gone up sooner but life had a different plan in my mind and the unexpected happened ! And I might of fried my keybored with my favorite coffee to add but that's in the past. I will be adding a few more book reviews this month, be on a look out for them! And A brand New Blog post will be going up after this as well. I hope you are all doing well and get your hands on Virgin River ASAP !

See you soon!

Power March 2021

Here we are ,three months into 2021. March madness, empower women and Irish coffee ; Spring coming about.

When you read this month's blog post , just know I have been a busy bee and this month's post slipped my mind. And I just finished my caramel coffee for lunch with bit of music playing in the background, I was dragging a bit and I forgot to make a cup of life this morning. Enough of me blabbing along, back to this post !

I can't even believe it we are in March already ! It still feels like we just had Christmas to me and yet again we are three months into 2021 and spring is right around the corner. How are you doing so far into this year ? I like to call this month the madness month of all months because normally there is so much happening in this month. Preparation for the up coming tax season like most people. Noticing that I haven't keeping up with my goal of the year usually happens as well then I get my little self in gear about those things. And course the ever changing weather season as well, snow one day then blue skies the next, the repeating cycle continues on until April.

I love this month altogether, the change the air minus the fact we are faced with the anniversary of this pandemic. I don't know about you , I can't for the world to feel like it's old self but by that being said change is good to , we are learning about our old ways if you know what I mean. I love that this month is about empowering women. I know we just had international woman's day , that's when this post was suppose to go up but as fate would have it , I am still writing it. I will say us a women lived lot of lives , we carry lot and sometimes we don't always get the full recognition every time in life. But on international women's day , I think about those who lead the way before my own time that we are still learning about the strength they had when others didn't. I think about the beautiful women that I know in my present time; the ones with children , the ones who work the hardest jobs and yet they are ones who show the most strength. The Women that I don't talk often with and when I hear about their achievements they inspire me every single day.

To the lovely ladies that I know; You are loved , you are beautiful in your messy attire and in your fancy attire to.

Another favorite thing about this month is of course St Patrick's day is just around the corner as well. The smell of the slower cooker of a roast filling the house, Cooked cabbage , fresh vegetables and baked potatoes in the oven. Maybe close the meal with a bit of Irish coffee , never had one before but I am looking forward to one. I just hope I don't forget to wear something green this time or the leprechauns will see me. And yes I will be baking my Andes mint green chocolate chip cookies! I think I finally figured out a good ratio between Andes bits to chocolate chips, we shall how this round goes. Of course I will be add a picture of two of the cookies if I remember before they are consumed by the clan of cookie monsters! And like every holiday that comes around I always look up the meaning of the holiday then just recipes to make. Like St.Partick's day is the day of remembrance of Saint Patrick during the fifth century who was captured but escaped and brought Christianity to Ireland as well. To honest with you , I don't remember being taught that in school back in the day just being told to wear green on March seventeen but I learned more information now by looking into the history a bit more.

Yes, it's been another day of me delaying this months post but just know I am working on this from my bed when there's another blizzard outside and I felt ill in the last twenty-four hours and I forgot to close out this mini post which let's be honest has now has to be a mini post for the delay. And if you are thinking my bodyguards are in their bed's you are wrong they have been at the bottom of my bed , not letting me leave my bed. By that being said I can't wait for spring weather to be upon us, light rain here and there. The gardens bloom more with fresh flowers, fresh herbs and fresh vegetables from mother nature. I am currently loving the long days again, I might be the only one in that group, I like getting more done in the day , to be being able to do more outside then in the house. And before this winter storm outside I did see some mint plants coming back already which is so exciting , that just means mint lemonade sooner .

What are you looking forward about this spring ? Let me know.

Time to close out this blog post out officially. This month already gone by fast to me, took a trip out to Redondo beach , discovered the perfect Salmon that I have been searching for since my first trip to San Francisco! I can even tell you how excited I was taste that flavor again and I highly recommend you try it at the Bluewater Grill by the beach, try it with the Mediterranean Sause. And believe me I couldn't stop talking about this Salmon since that sunset night. Oh if you are ever down there, you must try coffee cartel, worth every penny and then some; I promise you that ! I just finished Shelter Mountain by Robyn Carr, I am even more in love this series and it's characters to. I am going to write the book review for the book after this goes live so be on a look out for that. I do have Whispering Rock seating next to me and I am itching to dive in into that novel. I promise to share more stories with you.

As always,

Love

Misread.

Hearts , Love and the kitchen sink

February the month of love, dovely things and some being remined about their single love life.

Yes, I know I am a bit late with post but it's not Valentines yet so this would be a combination of this valentines and the usual monthly post.

So lets pretend it's February first, shhh! I am listening to a new song that I have been playing on repeat ever since it came on this morning during my shower. It's something about the words that made me stop and listen while getting lost for a bit under the cascading hot water. The song is under my skin by Nate Smith I recommend you listen it for a moment something about his tone that I started to write a story about it in my head since then. Just finished my second cup of coffee on today and I thought it was time to get this blog post up before it was too late.

But saying that, sometimes being late is better then never showing up in the first place. I think that kind of complies to love as well. Here me out, saying that I think about the stories of a lost love ; the ones we hear about over history , lost love letters that people send to their loves of their lives but they never heard from them again or the person never received the letter at all. They searched for them for weeks, years but they lost hope and went on with their lives then later in life they found each other again, the lost loves as fate would have it. They still showed up for each other just took a while to find each other again five years later or twenty- five years later. I think that's a beautiful way of a love story.

I learned some other important days in this this February love month. Rose day is on the seventh. Propose day is the eighth, Chocolate day is the ninth. Teddy day is on the tenth , Promise day is the eleventh. Hug day on the twelfth , kiss day is the same day as galantines day. Isn't that interesting , I honestly Knew that each day of that week leading up to Valentines day. I think promise day is my favorite day out of all of them, what a cute day for everyone. A day of promise sounds like a beautiful day to spend with someone, to treat someone more than Valentines day. Knowing those days now , I can already plan out a story just with those days in mind and funny enough I already have a little title in mind as well.

As for Galantines day which is the day I am posting this on, is my favorite day because a bunch of ladies would get together for a cup of coffee/tea just be with each other nothing fancy. Or over the years it turned into mini cheesecakes for each one of sweet ladies from the local German bakery. I can literally taste my favorite one on my tongue, the chocolate chip cheesecake. Seating out on the desk in the heart of the town where we all grew up in. Looking at us now imagining the stories, the laughs we had and now some us have families, got the dream jobs we wished for. I think how lucky we are know to know each other through thick and thin , through sadness and in our happiest moments , we held each other up regardless in hand and hand. Happy Galantines day lovelies!

I wanted to share a few more things with you all. If you have been search of the perfect love story novel to read this month. I have my top five I can think of and I have reviewed some of them on book review page on here. Two of my favorite Nicholas Sparks books of all time made it to my list not only in the top two places. One Every Breath is by far my favorite story and it's a true story which I love the most . Two The Notebook , I think its just a classic love story but its a story about an enduring love story through it all . Virgin River by Robyn Carr was my one of favorite novels from last years reading list. I love it because the level of pain each person had in their past made them beautiful people to find love in the end but with trials still together. Next one is Me before You by Jojo Moyes another story started with a tragic beginning but through out the novel the tender love between two that shouldn't fallen in love with each other is beyond beautiful. And lastly It would be of course one for the Money by Janet Evanvoich. Because she knows how to make a girl laugh when we shouldn't be laughing and so much wit in a love story that suspense and mystery that makes a perfect romance novel.

About the kitchen sink part of this blog post... I have been a single woman for most of life when it comes this holiday , I think how special it to single during valentines week. By saying that you are thinking , yeah right. Well I treat it like every other week but I date myself for the week. Buying myself a coffee out and with the restrictions now days, what changed is I couldn't seat in the coffee shop and see all the couples treating each other with just knowing simply someone's coffee order. And side note if you haven't tried the pistachio Latte with Oat milk , I would highly recommend you do ; It tastes like Ice cream ! During Valentines week or on the day of I would sneaky buy roses for people that I know just to bright their day leaving them on their front Porsches wrapped with tissue paper and a little note attached. I believe that everyone needs a bit a love if you are coupled or not, a little bit love goes a long way regardless of the holiday to make it special. Loved buying the roses for my next-door neighbor's wife because he couldn't get to town all the time so I thoroughly enjoyed picking up her's the most because she never knew how he did it each year.

One last thing I wanted to share a thing I do for myself each year, I pick out a romantic card or two. I don't know why I even do it sometimes but when it comes to it I am an old romantic at heart. If I find one that makes me happy , again sometimes it's two; I bring them home. Last year if you remember I wrote a love story based on a particular I found in a store. One my favorite stories I have written , If I find the link I will add it. So in the end , I guess if I ever find the one , he would have lots of greeting cards from me. So I confessed my little secret , does anyone else do that ? Or am I just weird in that way? Let me know in the comments!

I must get myself going, I must make some yummy sugar cookies!

To end this monthly blogpost and to your all your lovelies I want to wish you all Happy valentines and Galantines and Happy February.
