Welcome to Faith's Book Blog

May was an extremely slow reading month for me as I had a million and one personal things to do. So this post is going to be really short. The image above is for my niece who graduated from La Salle University this past month (One of the many reasons I did not have much time to read). I finished the following books in the month of May: Midwives by Chris Bohjalian 3/5 Stars Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost 3/5 Stars The Love Ceiling by Jean Davies Okimoto (WoWO) 2.5/5 Stars My favorite book of the month was Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost. I believe that this series has potential and I can't wait to read on. My least favorite book of the month was The Love Ceiling, it missed the mark for me. I'm hoping that next month brings better reading material and more time to read it. Some of the books coming up next month for me are: SOUVENIR by Therese Fowler Wild Heart by Lori Brighton (WoWO - June 18th) Faceless Killers by Henning Mankell Tall, Dark & Dead by Tat...

Rating: 3/5 Stars Pub. Date: November 1998 Publisher: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group Format: Trade Paperback, 372pp ISBN-13: 9780375706776 Oprah's Book Club Selection Sybil Danforth was a midwife in Vermont in the 1980's. One fateful night she had a birth go horribly wrong and an emergency C section was necessary. Sybil was sure the woman was dead when she began the the procedure but aspects of the evening bring doubt as to what really happened that fateful night. This story follows the trial of Danforth from the night in question through the end of the trial, from the perspective of Cybil's daughter Colleen, a teenager at the time of the trial, now looking back as an adult telling the story of her past. I enjoyed certain aspects of this book, the idea of the trial and the details of the birth were very interesting to me. Even the story coming from the perspective of the child was a nice take on the story. I however felt there was too much medical detail for me, I fe...

Rating: 3.5/5 Stars Mass Market Paperback: 384 pages Publisher: Avon (October 30, 2007) Language: English ISBN-10: 0061245089 Cat is half human/half vampire. Cat is a mystery to herself and to others as a half breed. Her mother was raped by a young vampire and ended up pregnant. The result of which is Cat, undetectable and unsuspectable by Vampires and humans alike; This makes Cat the perfect person to avenge her mothers rape. Cat spends her free time killing vampires to help her mother cope with what has happened to her. When Cat meets a vampire, Bones - a vampire bounty hunter, that convinces her to work with him instead of kill him, she reluctantly agrees if he helps her find and kill her father. Cat never thought she'd fall in love, but Bones turns out to be more than just another Vampire. I really enjoyed the story of Cat. Parts of the story were a bit on the corny side but it was still original and interesting to dive into the lives of Cat and Bones. I plan to read...

I just finished making two new cards. One for a Bridal Shower: (in person these jewels are lighter ) For my Niece's Graduation: I'm so proud of her! (the right side of the card cut off a little but you get the idea)

April went so fast! I felt like I spent a lot of time catching up this month in time for the discussions. I definitely need to plan out my schedule better in the future. Here is what I read this month: Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson 3/5 Stars House Rules by Jodi Picoult 3/5 Stars The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald 4/5 Stars Supernatural: Nevermore by Keith R.A. DeCandido 3/5 Stars Someone to watch over me by Judith McNaught 1/5 Stars The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks 2.5/5 Stars Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer 4/5 Stars My favorite for April was definitely Eclipse, I really enjoyed this story once I got passed the beginning. I was surprised by this because I had to restart it a couple of times before really getting into it. I was also pretty impressed with The Great Gatsby which I had never read before. My biggest disappointment for April was Someone to watch over me by Judith McNaught. I participated in a fun Blogger Hop and got introduced to some great new blogs, which I am...
