Finding a unique view within human struggle...

-
Perhaps the reason I value this author the most is her unique method of finding beauty and language that explores visual perceptions of people's deficits. Most often reading about someones struggle would be depressing yet Kristen Heitzmann has a profound way of making the individual appear strong - progressive - and courageous. You find the stories compelling and motivating.

Recently, I breezed through her latest "Indelible" turning page after page. The writing style so vastly different than my last read, it took me a few pages to get the flow. Yet, I was hooked as soon as I got about 3 pages in. That is my type of book. Characters you can fall in love with, pictures and images that make you feel like you are watching your favorite movie and want to continually rewind to see that part again!

Yes, this author is definitely one of my new favorites. A great read but just so you know you will not put it down!

At the top of my "to read later" pile...

I am not currently reviewing a book/author or even reading Christian fiction at the moment. It is an interesting break from the normal and I am enjoying selecting the titles right now. Since I rarely read in the secular market it is often difficult for me to find authors that are enjoyable or to my tastes. In May or perhaps early of this year I was lent a copy of Twilight by Stephanie Meyers . Wait! Hold on! If you are completely rolling your eyes at this point and believe that I have joined the teen band wagon let me get just a few words in edgewise here. Thank you. As I was saying, I was lent a copy of Twilight a while back. I had no real desire to read it because, as you, I had no desire to join the throng of teens and even pre-teens obsessing over this book/saga. The copy I had received was at the top of my "to read later" pile, so I picked it up and turned to page one. Please understand that I am not a fan of Vampires or even that sort of thriller market. I enjoy

Another Book Give Away - Let's explore!

-
I have been sitting idle for a while on the whole book contest/give away idea mainly because so many people just email me "hey, I'll take a free book." The point of the contest is to learn more about books and reading right!? With that said, I don't really want to hear that you will accept a free book. I am sure that lots of people would take a free book. All of that said, let's try another book give away for Fall. Here is the requirement: I want to hear about what you read this summer. It does not have to be fiction, Christian, or even a book. Perhaps you read a great magazine article. Share you favorite read from this summer and why. I am going to review all the posts and emails and pick a winner based on what they share. Truly, I look forward to hearing your stories. This is how I learn about great reads myself. Enjoy! (I promise the reward that you earn is a great book!) Contest Ends: October 25, 2009
