A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Remembering Christmas - Dan Walsh

I decided to pick this book to read since it's about Christmas and wanted to get into the spirit.  I only got into it about 22% before I gave up.

Rick is a self absorbed man who wants to go skiing the weekend after Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately for him, Rick's stepdad has an aneurysm and his mother needs him.  He comes and she asks the unthinkable of him.  She wants him to run their store until things settle down.  He has the time, but is reluctant to help.  He blames his mother for his father's abandonment.  He is very adamant to correct people if they label the man as his father.

I gave up on this one.  I wanted some happy story, it is Christmas after all, and I'm sure that eventually Rick comes to his senses, but his journey was not one that I was willing to go through.  I didn't like him at all, and I found that I was just going to have to pass.
