Love this!

It has begun!!!

Last week I got my first batch of edits from my editor. So exciting! This is really happening. I love the ideas and suggestions my editor has to make my book better. She said that she has a couple of projects to do before mine, so I'm hoping August will be the month that my book baby is born.

Edits are starting soon

This is the month my editor said that we would start the first round of edits for my book. I'm so excited. I keep checking my inbox to check for emails from my editor. Any day now. Tick tock.

Beach...enough said.

Last week we got to spend a week in California. Two days were spent at Disneyland; the rest were spent at the beach. Oh California, how I love thee!

This review is from: The Keeper's Calling (Keeper's Saga) (Paperback)

This story was fantastic. I loved diving into the world of Chase Harper. Since the story was from the point of view of a boy, I was leery of my connection to the main character; however, the author did a great job making the reader relate just as if it was a female main character. I liked seeing the relationship expand from the perspective of the reluctant teenage boy.

This story had action in all of the right places. I didn't feel like the fighting scenes were misplaced, because they were brief and necessary for the understanding of the story. A lot of times, I think fighting scenes in books are overused and I end up skimming over them. With this book, I read every scene because they were tastefully done.

This book is part of a series, and I was worried it would end with the major cliffhanger that almost all trilogies begin with and leave you screaming at the inconclusive ending of the story. To my delight, this book ended peacefully but still left me wanting to find out more about Chase Harper's story and calling. I'm excited to read the next book.

Well done, Kelly Nelson. Bravo!

Frozen Garden

What happens after you have successfully planted your garden and then mother nature decides to put a spin on things and make it snow? What happens to all of those sprouting seeds buried in the frozen ground? Well, we'll find out in a week or two if any plants decide to bloom. Ultimate fail.

Another downer note is that we suffered blistering winds that were 60-70 miles per hour yesterday. We had a bunch of shingles flying off of our house, and we don't have an easy roof with a safe incline to fix the shingles. Oh dear....

On the bright side (where I always like to stand, and it's what has been taught by my momma), at least we had general conference weekend and got to lay around in our jammies and eat lots of snacks while we listened to the prophets. Conference weekends are my favorite. And to top it off, I went with some of my friends to Flagstaff on Saturday for a girls trip. I love my girlfriends, and I love my hubby who supports me and wants me have fun with my friends. Thanks girls. Don't ever remind me how many calories are in the raspberry cheesecake. My ears are covered up. :)

Let it begin...

Last year, we started our raised bed garden. We had a few yummy carrots, a dozen corn on the cobs, big pumpkins, but not so much of anything else. We planted late in the season, so we weren't expecting much. This year is round 2. Big Breath.

I found this diagram online. I'm thinking of incorporating it into our garden space. Our outline is different, but I think it will work. Good luck, to me.

This review is from: Emergence (Kindle Edition)

I really liked 'Emergence', and I'm not surprised it has gotten good reviews. For me, I'm finicky in my selection of books to read. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a good old western, where other times I want to read about vampires (yes, I'm one of 'those' people :), and sometimes I like a good mystery. This was a good mystery story that had me interested. Because you got to see the thoughts of the hit man, I was curious to see how the story was going to end. Not a lot of books let you see from the viewpoint of the supposedly 'bad' guy. I really liked the author's writing. She is very talented, and she has a way to make the storytelling seem natural and not forced.
