I bought this desk and chair a few days ago. The moment I saw them, I knew I had to have them, especially the chair. I think it's an amazing piece of furniture. I've always loved things that were different and I've never seen one like it before.

THIS WEEKS LETTER IS: "E "
My book is:
Eternal On The Water by Joseph MonningerAbout The Book:
From the day Cobb and Mary meet kayaking on Maine's Allagash River and fall deeply in love, the two approach life with the same sense of adventure they use to conquer the river's treacherous rapids. But rivers do not let go so easily...and neither does their love. So when Mary's life takes the cruelest turn, she vows to face those rough waters on her own terms and asks Cobb to promise, when the time comes, to help her return to their beloved river for one final journey.
Set against the rugged wilderness of Maine, the exotic islands of Indonesia, the sweeping panoramas of Yellowstone National Park, and the tranquil villages of rural New England, Eternal on the Water is at once heartbreaking and uplifting — a timeless, beautifully rendered story of true love's power.

Thunderus wind, pulling and whipping through tree after tree until it finally reached me in a fury. Rain pelted down in thick sheets and I couldn't see my hands in front of me.
Book Tour & Review: Sons Of Thunder
About the book:
Sophie Frangos is torn between the love of two men and the promise that binds them all together. Markos Stavros loves Sophie from afar while battling his thirst for vengeance and his hunger for honor. Dino, his quiet and intelligent brother, simply wants to forget the horror that drove them from their Greek island home to start a new life in America. One of these “sons of thunder” offers a future she longs for, the other—the past she lost.
From the sultry Chicago jazz clubs of the roaring twenties to the World War II battlefields of Europe to a final showdown in a Greek island village, they’ll discover betrayal, sacrifice, and finally redemption. Most of all, when Sophie is forced to make her choice, she’ll learn that God honors the promises made by the Sons of Thunder. Read an excerpt here.
My Thoughts:
I've only just recently read two other Susan May Warren books, Nothing But Trouble and Double Trouble. I wasn't sure how I was going to like this book since it was so different from the other two. Let me tell ya, I wasn't disappointed. This book was interesting right from the first paragraph and just got better from there. It has it all....adventure, suspense, violence, romance.
Even though this is a Christian Fiction, I believe everyone will enjoy this book that takes you to so many places and has so much heart. I loved this book!

Book Tour & Review: Lady Carliss & The Waters Of Moorue
Lady Carliss and the Waters Of Moorue by Chuck Black
Determined, smart and a master of both the sword and the bow, Lady Carliss has proven herself as a veteran Knight of the Prince. Returning from a mission of aid, Carliss is plunged into adventure once again as she searches for the marauders responsible for kidnapping a friends’ family. Along the way she is reunited with Sir Dalton and discovers that the struggle in her heart is far from over. When Dalton falls to the vicious attack of a mysterious, poisonous creature, Carliss finds herself in a race against time. As Dalton clings perilously to life, she must find the antidote in the distant and strange city of Moorue.
While there, Carliss uncovers the master plot of a powerful Shadow Warrior that will soon overtake the entire Kingdom. Her faith in the Prince and her courage as a knight are tested as she faces evil Shadow Warriors and a swamp full of dreadful creatures. The lives of many, including Dalton’s, depend on Carliss. But she cannot save them all, for time is running out. She faces an impossible choice: save Dalton, or let him die so that others may live.

My Thoughts:
I'm going to have to stop saying I'm not crazy about the fantasy genre, because this is another book that won me over. I guess our reading tastes change every 7 years like our taste for food does. This book has a female as it's main character which intrigued me from the beginning. The storyline was amazing and the characters written very well. I'm going to have to check out the other books in The Knights of Arrethtrae series. This is another book I recommend to anyone who likes Christian Fiction/Fantasy.
