Fallen Series Book Review August 2021

I haven't posted a book review in awhile and I thought I would share this one. And I am already on my way reading another book as you all know about my collection of books that I need to read is still a thing next to my actual library. But back to this book review.

Rapture by Lauren kate is easily my favorite book she ever written, hands down. Even tho it's young adult supernatural novel, I think everyone should read it. Let me honest here, I read the three first book way before this one and I think that was around my junior or senior of high school when I read the others. And I found the fourth book at the bottom of my unread pile. I am beyond glad I got to pick the story back up as an adult and seeing the story, the characters as a whole in different light and I think If I read it back then, I would have walked away with a different perspective then I do now. And oddly enough it made me think of angels and the age I am right now vs my age's mindset then as well. To add it felt like I grew up with the characters a bit as well in the timeline of the story. One other thing this novel opened my eyes up to angels more in the sense than believing they are just with us always but they were here for us, to guide us and hear us when no one else does.

The opening line , "First there was silence " was a powerful start to a heavy powerful,sweet novel in my opinion.Like I said before it's been about ten years since I picked up this story and remembering the story from then and seeing it in a different light now. For example we are in this time from of silence right now in life , nothing seems almost normal and many things are coming to light. Rather we like it or not , I think we have go through this as our individual lessons including living through this pandemic. And looking back at the novel where angels are called to choose sides, that being called balancing of the scales is also something that I find very intersecting what we are going through now. I am trying very hard not to give anything away because I want you all to read it to. Half way through the novel I kept thinking Luce had the answers within her to fix time all together she just need her key to find it. And I was shocked in the mysteries of each relic had opened some new information for not luce herself but everyone that was on the journey with her and Daniel. I love dee's Character she was my favorite character besides Luce but her personally added laughter and heart throughout the novel even if there was sad moment. Dee reminds me of mother willow from pocahontas, I just realized that. I do love all the angels in the novel even Cam, I think he has more the share then he lets on to everyone else.

I think the ending line of the novel couldn't have ended on a perfecter note and left me only wanting more and knowing more of course. "Love for the first and the last time ". I mean just look at those words are alone , I still don't have the words to even describe the impact of those words as a writer's perspective yet. I smiled after the book ended and I thought about Luce's and Daniel's love is and only can be described as timeless. And I couldn't be happier where the two ended up in the end , after all they been through all their live times together. But I wish it was different to the point and God didn't make them choose in the sense so they could be who (Angel's) they always were forever. Who would've thought this after chasing relics in different countries and fighting scale for nine days during time jumps that everything would lead back to jealousy and love over and about someone than just happiness for others. I still think Lucifer has a heart and love in it but maybe he just never knew how to share it right at the beginning.

As a writer I look at it as, I wonder where their story could of went if something else was said in heaven but I am also for them being mortals again ( And yes little clue ,sorry) as well to love more, to have children together. Also in the sense they do get to " live longer" in the world because their children would have part of them in them as time goes on. I know Daniel was the happiest with the decision because he would never have to chase luce through any other lifetime again. I also wish Luce had a bit more time to enjoy all of her old versions of herself to whom she is now before the novel ended but hey I can still wonder for her a bit. I feel odd by saying that , I wish there was more to know time for all them together to relax together after all they were racing against time in the first place to be honest.

My last thought , I wrote down in my little book review notebook is; If I met my soulmate in this lifetime and I also got the chance to know my previous lives with them as well , wouldn't that be amazing to know....

What are your thoughts about that if you could have the chance to know all your past lives and know who your soulmate is to?

Give the Fallen series by Lauren Kate a read and see for yourself about Luce and Daniel's love story. I can't wait to hear your thoughts! I will see you in next month's post and keep your eyes on a lookout for another book review or story coming soon!

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.

December 2020 Christmas time

Well let me to be honest this blog post for Christmas, I have left blank for about a month and literally every time I attempted the post either something came up or I was to tired to even try. So there's my disclaimer in advance on why it's so late.

I am all cuddled up under my duvet on Christmas eve trying to figure out what to say about a closing post to the year, since this will be my final post of year. Christmas eve doesn't feel like Christmas eve for me this year. This day and evening felt like a Thursday with a tree in a corner and presents bursting from underneath it. And that Christmas tree took me three days to sort out to become the perfect display that's it's ever been in a very long time. And side note it only took me three days because I wasn't too into decorating this year but like magic the reds and gold ornaments were placed evenly for once. And everyone's special memories placed in perfectly around the tree like a mini time machine of moments if I say so myself. And watching my family place their ornaments is my favorite part of Christmas.

There was one special ornament add this morning on Christmas eve, the last and final one. A rose angel ,the rose angel was meant to go my Nene last Christmas and I forgot to give it to her, then I lost the bag to add to the forgetfulness of that year. But this rose red angel hold more meaning than what the original story behind the ornament in itself. It was like I was meant to find the missing bag of brought gifts from my trip to Christmas market in Cambria. I couldn't bring myself to place it on the Christmas tree. So I rewrapped that angel carefully as I could since she made of glass and placed the snowman gift bag in my father's hands and said," This for Nene from Nene".

I can tell you lately these days have been just days, things happen how they shouldn't have happened and I am sure everyone could agree that's how 2020 has been that way all together. But the single moment on this Christmas eve ,made the year a beautiful one for a second. Life paused.

I promise not to get to sappy anymore so smile because I am about to make you laugh a little. All December my only goal was to get one photo with three German shepherds in front of the tree ! Yes, lots of attempts later, I still don't have one with one with all of them in front of the tree. I have individual shots but nothing news worthy yet but I still have a few more days till the new year to get that perfect one. I have one of Max passed out in front of the tree because lets face it , no one tells Max what to do unless he wants to. One of Mason looking like a crying kid on Santa's lap and his eyes really big to! That was very funny and shortly after he knocked me down completely into my lap. So Mason is afraid of sparking Christmas trees in conclusion! And maverick wouldn't sit still if he heard something or one of the pups had a toy. At one point I got maverick and Mason together for one mano second.... then the ups guy showed up ,nonetheless to say he took off running and the photo shoot ended very quickly.

Again I have a few more chances for next years Christmas card, if I remember. I will add a few gallery shots of my process of the perfect picture of the three crazy bodyguards that are always on guard.

I think this would be the first year without a white Christmas and we didn't open presents on Christmas eve which has always been a tradition which feels weird but I know Santa will still come either way. Here's another funny Christmas mistake on my part. I had three ingredient recipe and I thought I was golden to make coconut raffaello balls ... well guess who brought the wrong coconut.... I discovered that upon mixing the milk wasn't soaking up the coconut well enough because it was moisten coconut flakes. Opos! Well so I quickly hid my said easy recipe in the refrigerator so if you all don't tell my secret ,Santa's will definitely bring some Christmas luck!

Well it's getting close to midnight here and typing this up on my phone with Twenty-Six percent left on my phone. I must to myself to actual sleep and prepare myself to open presents and make Christmas dinner with all the fixings.

But before I go , let me say Merry Christmas and Happy new years! I hope if you surround my family this holiday, take in every second that you can. If you aren't, I hope the WIFI is great and make lots of video calls around the world. Remember that you are loved, you are special and most of all things will get better, miracles happen. Christmas miracles happen when you at least expected. Just like seeing the Bethlehem star and no one seen the star on over 800 years! And that was a special moment to witness after discovering which way was southwest.

Ah okay now it's been thirty more minutes Santa should be here by midnight, I must get my shut eyes.

Love always, misread❤

I wanted to add this message on Christmas day, enjoying my coffee in hand and say even though this day doesn't see Christmassy as the others. We all have the best in life right now, we have family , we have friends , we have each other. We have the chance to enjoy the hours just being, no running around , no busy anything. Those hours and seconds we have today are the most cherished gift in life right now. We can't get back time if there's anything we learned this year together is we can't back time. So please take the time to be with yourself, with family, with friends by anyway you can today.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!
