<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> Question of the Week:</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br />Would you stop reading a book if an element of the plot strongly clashed with your personal beliefs, or would you continue reading until you finished finished the book?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> My Answer: </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Yes I would stop reading the book if it clashes between my personal beliefs. I would also still leave a review of the book and probably write to the author about it. So far I haven't had that problem yet and hopefully I won't have to but if It happens I promise not to be mean about it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">What about you would you stop reading a book if it clashes with your personal beliefs? </span></div>

Travis refuses to back down. I've never participated in a kissing battle before, but that's how would describe my current situation. Someone coughs behind us and Travis disengages, leaving my lips hovering in mid-air. He catches my look of astonishment before directing his attention to the stage. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I've never broken up with someone. Never had a lasting relationship. But I can't take back what I said to him. We both new it was coming, but neither one of us would admit it. So, I force myself to stand firm, rather than give in to the urge to peace jittery circles around the parking lot. </span></div>

Becca Thornton is clueless when it comes to love. Why else would she break up with Will Gamen, a boy at the top of the hottie short list for every other girl?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because, if she’s being totally honest, Becca will admit the truth. Her heart belongs to someone else.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For as long as she can remember, Travis Brennen has been unavailable.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Travis unexpectedly rolls back into town, Becca realizes for the first time that her feelings for him might be mutual. But Travis and Becca come from what he calls “different circumstances.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Becca’s parents are world-famous scientists and Travis’s dad is the caretaker on the Thornton family’s estate. Still, Becca can’t change the way she feels about him, no matter how hard her parents try to keep them apart.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She’ll just need to find a way to prove to her parents that Travis isn’t the guy they’ve always assumed him to be. Becca’s earned the right to grow up, make her own choices, and fall in love, even if she ends up with a broken heart.</div>

Looking forward to diving into this book this week. It looks like it will be a sweet romance with some heartbreaks as well. What do you think? Would you want to keep reading? </div>

Party planner Liv McKay has outdone herself this time. She s put together an unforgettable Fourth of July celebration for the town of Dixie, Tennessee including breathtaking fireworks and an exciting Miss Dixie Beauty Pageant. Maybe a little too exciting.<br />
As the party is winding down, Liv s sense of triumph fizzles when the body of town councilman Bubba Rowland is discovered on the festival grounds. And now the prime suspect in his murder is Liv s mother s fiance, Earl, who had a flare-up recently with Bubba. To clear Earl s name, Liv and her best friend Di burst into action to smoke out the real killer before another life is extinguished . . .<br />
A small Southern town with charm as well as bodies provides a terrific backdrop for two appealing sleuths. Down home and delightful.

<b style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.84px;">1) Why do you suppose there are so many songs about Santa Claus, yet very few about the Easter Bunny?</b><br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.84px;"><br /></b>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.84px;">A: More people celebrate Christmas then Easter. Some people don't celebrate Easter like the rest of us and the Easter Bunny was introduced to us in the 1700s. But Santa is more friendly as well. I have seen some scary Easter bunnies this year in costume. Lol</span><br />

I was always afraid to speak in front of the class when we would do out stories she would always help me out before hand to get over my fear on talking in front of the class. Now it has helped me through my life and I have not gotten afraid of talking to other people or going after what I want in my life. </span><br />

And it’s just beginning, with plans for a wedding to her longtime beau, Thomas Lapp. Everything is falling into place, which is why Clara Rose resolutely ignores her newly warm feelings for her best friend, Obidiah Brennaman. There’s never been a hint of romance between them, and no reason to pay attention to such nonsense now...</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;">Steady, sturdy Obie feels differently. He’s never thought too hard about his future, but the news that Clara Rose is about to be married is strangely unsettling.

He’ll do whatever he must to make Clara Rose see how much he loves her, and with the Lord’s help, before it’s too late...</span><span id="goog_1883490167"></span><span id="goog_1883490168"></span><br />Stacey Minterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16600947153844167310noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802615288888906073.post-53270845167603589362017-04-14T14:50:00.000-07:002017-04-14T14:50:25.240-07:00The Friday 56 + Book Beginnings <div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #666666; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15.84px; text-align: center;">

It's the final semester of senior year, and everyone at Harmony High can't wait to find out the results of theSenior Superlative votes! But the balloon bursts in Sadie's face when she discovers she's been voted "Most Likely to Get Married" to Andy - a boy she's never dated or ever thought of as a potential boyfriend. Completely and utter mortification sets in. To prove high school means something more than a Senior Superlative award, Sadie and her best friend Jana decide to create their own list of awesome non-academic achievements to be completed before graduation. Yet, the harder Sadie works to show everyone she's not the least bit attracted to Andy, the more appealing he becomes. Typical for the girl who can't seem to achieve anything important, even the completion of one lousy college application. When senioritis kicks in and the school year dwindles down to mere weeks, Sadie decides to risk her good girl reputation to prove that an Awesome Achievement means much more than any Senior Superlative vote. By the time Sadie realizes her epic screw-up, she just might have lost her chance at the prom date of her dreams.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;">From the day they met, John and Elizabeth were destined to fall in love. Their whirlwind romance started when they were young college students and lasted nearly thirty years—until Elizabeth died of cancer.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;">So when John Baxter is asked to relive his long-ago love story with Elizabeth for his grandson Cole’s heritage project, he’s not sure he can do it. The sadness might simply be too great. But he agrees and allows his heart and soul to go places they haven’t gone in decades. Back to the breathless first moments, but also to the secret heartbreak that brought John and Elizabeth together.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;">At the same time, Baxter family friend Cody Coleman is working through the breakup of his complicated relationship with Andi Ellison. He is determined to move on when a chance sighting changes his plans—and heart. Can Cody convince Andi to give their love another try, or is it time for them to say goodbye, for good?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;">As school comes to an end, Cole presents his report on the love story between his grandparents John and Elizabeth Baxter. It is a tale that touches the hearts of the entire family, and one that causes Cole to better understand his own beginning.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;">Whether you’re meeting the Baxter family for the first time or finding them all over again, </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;">Love Story</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;"> will stir your heart and remind you of the generational impact of love and the eternal bond of family.</span><br />Stacey Minterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16600947153844167310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802615288888906073.post-60149885370440754922017-04-13T11:57:00.000-07:002017-04-13T11:57:32.017-07:00Killer Characters Blogging Through the AlphabetEach day in April I will be sharing a book that starts with the letter of the Alphabet of the day that I want to read.

Sadly, the same doesn’t hold true for Laurel, a fellow Bayside Book Writer. While struggling with a demanding job, twin boys, and a terminally ill mother-in-law, Laurel learns that her perfect marriage is mostly fictional. When she catches her husband fooling around with his mother’s hospice nurse, she issues impassioned threats that will later come back to haunt her. </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">After the nurse meets a deadly denouement, Chief Rawlings is forced to take Laurel into custody. While Olivia protests the arrest, the rest of the Bayside Book Writers become a group divided, with Rawlings and Harris on one side and Olivia and Millay on the other. Now the women must race against the clock to prove that Laurel’s not the sort for murder before her story ends in tragedy…</span><br style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;" /><br />Stacey Minterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16600947153844167310noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802615288888906073.post-76096880957747937202017-04-12T13:16:00.000-07:002017-04-12T13:16:11.846-07:00Just The Way You Are Blogging through the AlphabetEach Day of April I will be giving you a book that starts with the letter of the day while Blogging through the Alphabet.

Single mom, Eisley Barrett, prefers to keep romance safely housed within a centuries-old mystery, but when she travels to England to unearth the secret, an actor with a sordid past offers her reluctant heart a very different type of discovery.</div>

Wes Harrison has a past he’s ashamed to confess. Suspicious and cynical, he’s managed to avoid romantic entanglements since a tragedy upended his career and life, that is until American Eisley Barrett comes along. Her authenticity and kindness upend his bitter assumptions and send his heart into unscripted territory.</div>

Claire Weaver came from one of the wealthiest families in Madelia, groomed from a young age to be a professional ballerina. When her teenage heart fell for a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, her parents uprooted her and moved to the other side of the country.<br />
She returned to Madelia as an adult, opening a dance studio and enjoying small town living.<br />
Daniel McAllister was living the soldier’s dream, traveling to distant lands, immersing himself in new cultures. When a devastating injury lands him stateside again, in the small town he hated as a child, his world fell apart.<br />
Sparks fly when Daniel and Claire are thrown together again, using his design smarts and her imagination to build a beautiful parade float for the town’s Lavender Day parade.<br />
Is a relationship possible even after all these years? Will Claire’s parents interfere once more when they discover she’s seeing that McAllister boy again?<br />

Though she grew up with the city’s highest aristocrats, far from her father’s old lodge, she knows that the forest holds secrets and that her father is the only hunter who’s ever come close to discovering them.<br /><br />So when her father loses his fortune and moves Yeva and her sisters back to the outskirts of town, Yeva is secretly relieved. Out in the wilderness, there’s no pressure to make idle chatter with vapid baronessas…or to submit to marrying a wealthy gentleman. But Yeva’s father’s misfortune may have cost him his mind, and when he goes missing in the woods, Yeva sets her sights on one prey: the creature he’d been obsessively tracking just before his disappearance.<br /><br />Deaf to her sisters’ protests, Yeva hunts this strange Beast back into his own territory—a cursed valley, a ruined castle, and a world of creatures that Yeva’s only heard about in fairy tales. A world that can bring her ruin or salvation. Who will survive: the Beauty, or the Beast?</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 20.9016px;"> </span>Stacey Minterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16600947153844167310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802615288888906073.post-31379293702158346202017-04-08T19:17:00.000-07:002017-04-08T19:17:16.133-07:00Greed With Envy Blogging through the Alphabet Each day this month I will be going to share a book that I want to read this year.

My wedding Dress looked like something out of a romantic fairy tale with homemade lace, pearl beadwork, and a catchedral-length train the perfect bridal gown for a second daughter of a king. My mother had started commissioning the fabrics years ago in anticipation oh her three daughters getting married. </div>

Summary: </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 34.2825px;">I was born the middle princess of a tiny country in the Alps, which means my primary duty in life has always been to make a good marriage for my family and country. That's why I'm marrying Edward Channing. He's rich, handsome, arrogant, and silent. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 34.2825px;">Seriously, he almost never talks to me at all. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 34.2825px;">He might be marrying a princess, but he obviously doesn't want to spend any more time with me than he has to. I have no problem with that. We can live entirely different lives and pursue our own interests. I'm sure we can make this arranged marriage work. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 34.2825px;">Of course, we do need to produce an heir, but I'm trying not to think about that.</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 34.2825px;">I really enjoyed the first book A Princess Next Door and I couldn't wait to start reading this. It sounds like a cute read and so far it is. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Lato, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 34.2825px;">What do you think would you want to read this book? </span></span></div>
