This was another book review for Booksneeze.
I love to read. I go through reading spurts… this is one of them. Last night I started a new book, 3rd one since Friday. I’ve been staying up way too late, but I get so into the story I have a hard time putting them down. I’ve decided to add a section to my blog of the books I’ve read recently. Most of them are from this year, but a few are from last year. I know there are some that I am forgetting. I’ve been checking digital books out at the library and if I rate them it keeps a list of things I’ve read, that way I won’t forget! If you are reading something you love, sent me the title, I’ll add it to my list. Whenever I hear about a good book I add it to one of 3 lists… the library, Amazon or the Sony Reader store. That way I always have a big selection to choose from.
fyi… this font it called Bookworm. : )
Today was Evelyn’s ballet recital and I’m going to do a little horn tooting! She did wonderful and looked beautiful. At the end of the recital her teacher had some awards to give out. Evelyn received the “En Pointe Award” for an outstanding year at ballet. Only one of these awards is given each year and it brought tears to my eyes to see Evelyn be the girl chosen out of 17 girls. By getting this award she will get 20% off tuition for the next year! I don’t think she really understands what a big deal this is. She worked so hard and we are so proud of her. I didn’t realize how well she was doing until going to the dress rehearsal Friday night. She dances around the house all the time, but I could really see a ballet dancer in her this weekend.
Unfortunately I’m still a novice with our new video camera. I recorded in too high of a mode to upload to the web. Sorry! So if you want to see her performance, you’ll have to come see us and watch it on the big screen! lol!
Lately I’ve been telling this boy
that he needs to stay 3 forever. He doesn’t want to be 3, but he does want to be 5. It must be in his genes… I thought life began at 5, or so I’m told.
Now mind you, he won’t be 4 until July.
Ada Wentworth is left with nothing after the death of her father and aunt. She leaves her home in Boston and finds work as a companion to Lillian Willis, a widow that lives in Hickory Ridge, Tennessee. Being a Yankee in the South after the Civil War proves to be a challenge for Ada. 
I really enjoyed Beyond All Measure by Dorothy Love. There are several twists and turns to the story that, for me, made it hard to put down. It’s a story of faith. A reminder that we need to rely not just on ourselves, but those around us.
I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
This book was a quick read that I really enjoyed. The mystery revolving around Eleanor’s death leads Olivia down a path she never expected. She discovers things about herself that she never would have, had she not gone to Mercy Falls. She comes to recognize who her true friends are and learns to rely on a faith she didn’t know she had. I love historical fiction, the mystery and romance were a bonus. I really didn’t want the book to end.
I had never read anything from this author before and plan on looking into her other books.

My sister in-law (thanks Mel!) was kind enough to take pictures of the kids in their Easter clothes. Here they… are for your viewing pleasure!
