wishing for tomarrow



Wishing for tomarrow by Hilary Mc.kay,
is the sequel to a little princess. Its after Sara Crewe leaves the semminary for girls school. But the other girls like Jessica, Gertrude, Ermengarde and lottie and lavina are still there. And miss Minchin still remembers Sara in distaste. Ermengarde writes to Sara and misses her. Lavinia is still a stuck up girl and Lottie the mischievous girl.

I didn't like it very much, it was to modern in its writing though it was set back then. the writer does have imagination though to was happened after a little princess.

inside the voyage of the dawn treader review



Inside the voyage of the dawn treader by Devin Brown,
nearing the movie release of the voyage of the dawn treader, I was fully interested in reading this book. so I got it free from bethanyhouse publishers to review. I have to say I got more then I expected.

Devin Brown goes through all the chapters of the book: the Voyage of the dawn treader and tries to find symbolic meanings to C.S lewis's life, for instance, why the wizard with Lucy only ate bread. " Was C.S lewis a bread eater and he didn't like meat?" was the question. he goes back into the other writings that C.S. lewis wrote and quotes them to what is relevant to the story.

over all, I thought it was a very sluggish read.

under the lilacs review



thanks to Charity at:  http://austenitis.blogspot.com/, she's the one who got me to read under the lilacs, because she read it and I thought it sounded so cute!

Under the lilacs by Lousia May alcott
Its about two little girls, Bab and Betty, Ben, a run away boy who has no father who used to work at a circus, Thorny, a boy who is in a wheel chair and his older sister Celia. Its a sweet story, its about growing up. its one of those books that leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling and you say '' awww'' after you read it.

Its not really adventures. its fiction and its a good classic!

5 stars

I really recommend you read it!

one call away

One Call Away: Answering Life's Challenges with Unshakable Faith

one call away by Brenda Warner, a memoir.

I was drawn to this book by the attractive face on the cover. so I requested it.
Brenda grew up in a normal family. Her faith was important to her, she always wanted to pretty. She was a cheer leader, worried about her weight and because her father was a marine, she became a marine too because she wanted to serve her country, to her it was her dream. She met her future husband, a marine too, shortly after, she had a kid and the baby had brain damage, she had to quit her job being a marine and her husband was a little edgy as time grew  on. And then she divorced him when he was having an affair with another lady. She met Kurt Warner, a NFL player and it goes on from there what it was like to be a NFL wife and how she didn't like the populararity. throughout her life she dealt with many disappointments, tradigies but she didn't let go of her faith.

I somewhat liked it. the cover was the best thing about this book I thought.

I got this book free from booksneeze.com

raising a soul surfer review

Raising a Soul Surfer: One Family's Epic Tale

I have read soul surfer by Bethany Hamilton. this time its; raising a soul surfer by her mother, Cheri Hamilton

Cheri grew up in a family that wasn't christian. but her family loved surfing. she remembers when her first time surfing just cought on and she wanted to surf. She tells how she met Tom, her future husband, of how she became a christian and of the shark attack that happened to Bethany, how it impacted her. and after the incedent. And she said how the movie Soul surfer impacted their life too in the making of it.

it was very good book. it had more details on the shark attack and the book was more mature then Soul surfer by Bethany Hamilton.

I liked it
