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!

The Isaac Project - Sarah Monzon

This was a freebie I picked up, wanting to try something new.

Rebekah's grandfather is dying.  She knows that he wants to see her married, so she comes up with the idea of re-enacting the Isaac and Rebekah story from the Bible.  She enlists the help of her friend to find her a man - and fast.  Luke is a firefighter who hears about Rebekah and agrees to the idea after a troubling dream.

I made it almost halfway before I put it down.  I don't read many books that are in first person, and I find it harder to get into these kinds of stories when people are "thinking" things that don't make sense.  For instance, Luke is fighting a fire and takes the time to think about (and explain) his SCBA.  It didn't seem realistic, and while the story may have had some potential, it just wasn't for me.
