Its a good start to an amazing series I'm sure. I haven't been able to finish the second one I will have to check it out again in the mean time I haven been reading other books. I did enjoy this book and can't wait to "sink my teeth" into the next one :P Am I cheesy or what?!

Soon, the whole town is filled with friendship bread and starters overflowing from the freezers until a flooding of a neighborhood city brings little Avalon together and they bake what they have to give to the poor town and spread the love, and lifts everyone's spirits in unlikely ways!

Although the site I use www.goodreads.com says its 400 pages the actual story only goes to 363 and the rest is recipies for Amish Friendship Bread if you feel like starting your own "chain mail" of bread or whatever you choose to make! I loved this book it was hard to put down and it really pulls at your heart. I would recommend every woman to read this book or hear it from an audio it is such a heart-felt story that you just don't want to keep to yourself!

Things Without A Name

                                          Pages: 392    Author: Joanne Fedler  Genre: Fiction
Her name is Faith, but consequently she doesn't have any in anything that is happy. She doesn't believe in happiness or true love. She works as a legal counciller at a company that helps woman who are being raped or in a abusive relationship.
There were some parts that it made it hard to follow on what was going on in what part of her life since it jumps back and forth from current to bits and pieces of her past. It wasn't what I was expecting to really read either but I'm glad I found it and continued to read it. It was very hard for me to put down I really enjoyed reading it. I got to know Faith and a part of me on a whole new level.

On another note I have read some books inbetween this one and the last post but I forgot to write it down/blog it. So, with it being a new year I'll try and be better about posting the books I finish!

Vampire Diaries: The Struggle

Pages: 279 Author: L.J. Smith Genre: Fantasy Fiction

Part 2 of this series gets you closer to the characters and drives you crazy. Of course I loved the book and couldn't put it down but where is that new with me?

It picks up right where it left off in the first book. Elena is determined to find and save Stefen knowing that Damon had something to do with it. Then of course someone steals Elena's diary and starts teasing her with it leaving her notes and she finds out people want to use what she has written against her beloved...How will they fix it this time?
