Books Rule

January 28, 2011 2 Comments

I love books. No really, I love them. I love writing them, reading them, and even crafting with them. I’m not as big of an ebook reader, but I do see the value in them and know a lot of people really adore them. For me, though, there is nothing like looking over at a pile like this:

That, ladies and gentlemen, is part of my “to be read” pile. My actual TBR pile is a lot higher. I have some work stuff in there, some reviews, and then my own personal enjoyment books. The pile you see here is from Christmas. (And don’t you love the card my mom gave me? Pop up reindeer!) I got quite a few good ones for Christmas. This pile includes: The Mistresses of Henry VIII, The Confessions of Catherine de Medici: A Novel, For the King, and Elizabeth’s Women: Friends, Rivals, and Foes Who Shaped the Virgin Queen. See, they aren’t all Tudor fiction!  LOL  Some of them are about Napoleon, too.

There is something about looking over at that pile that just makes me extremely happy. It’s like knowing there is a vacation waiting for you a mere inches from your everyday life. I love that.

What’s in your TBR pile?

    I love piles of books, too. I also love lots of brand new icons on my iPad reader, though.

    In my TBR pile: Half Broke Horses, The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb, and American Pastoral by Philip Roth.

The Space Between Dreaming is a moving novel written with warmth and heart and which contains valuable wisdom. I loved that the work tackles difficult topics about childlessness, childhood trauma, and betrayal by friends with sensitivity. It tenderly captures the social and emotional toll of being childless. I loved the main characters and found them to be realistic and engaging. The work masterfully explores the themes of friendships and relationships, drawing important lessons that can be applied in real life. The inclusion of art and the process of painting also enhance the story. Cherie Burbach's unforgettable novel will resonate with readers for its applicable themes and compelling characters. Fans of women's novels will love it.

Cherie Burbach's writing is surprisingly vivid, this being her debut attempt. She can take you inside the character's mind within a span of words, all the things they're struggling with put bare before you. The prose isn't flowery, but gentle enough to nudge you into relating your traumas too, and heal as the characters do.

Loved learning more about art, and the community surrounding the people in the book. Couldn't wait for the next chapter and following the women in this story. I am hoping the author has a second book in mind, to continue the journey of Jane and Grace. I would recommend this to book clubs, so they could meet and discuss what they read and what they think will happen next.

A beautifully written story about the lives of two very interesting women who come together and form a life long bond. I love how this book is written. I found myself placed in the story like I was an innocent bystander watching each moment unfold and learning more about art than I ever thought possible. As the book ended, I found myself wanting more. My hope is that there is a 2nd book in the works so I can continue watching the friendships unfold and the lives of the main characters continue to grow!
