One Little Word for 2012

The one little word that I have chosen to live by is... Authenticity.

To live the year being authentic. Being me. Being the person that I know I should be each and everyday even when it is not easy (or popular).

You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."

Three Little WordsThree Little Words by Ashley Rhodes-Courter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


An amazing story of fortitude and resilience. Breaks my heart that so many children in our country are forced to deal with living conditions that are deplorable and relationships that are harmful. To make a difference in the lives of children - a positive difference - is truly a gift that no one should discredit.



A wonderful quote from the novel that the author used in a speech. The quote is by Moliere, "It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable."

Tempted (House of Night, #6)Tempted by P.C. Cast

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It is not very often that I get engrossed in a book series. Normally, I will read two books in the series and be bored with the characters and tired of the predictability of the plot. This series, however, has kept me entertained and engrossed in the storyline and the characters. Even though the characters and vampires or fledlings, their connections with each other are believable and valid. They show true emotions that bring validity to their characters.

I am almost disappointed in how fast I have been plowing through this series that leaves me with only two books to finish.
