Book 1- The Dovekeepers

I'm being challenged to write what I thought about 
this novel. While I enjoyed the read, I think all 
the chatter about how amazing this
book was, left me disappointed- 
which is AWFUL!
I hate when the book itself wasn't the 
let down, it was the anticipation that ended up 
getting me. I have to say, this book didn't
"grab" me right from the get go. It wasn't a story 
I just couldn't put down. It certainly didn't captivate me. 
BUT, as I'm thinking about a review, I'm thinking 
of all the parts I loved and how brilliant the 
writing was. Each lady had their own story and each
perspective was written just a tad differently which
made the storytelling even that much better.
I loved all of the women and the stories they told.
I just wanted MORE of each of them. Each of
women brought a different dynamic to the story,
and as I'm trying right now to think of who I liked the
best, I actually can't name one. 
Anyways, I can't say it was my favorite book I've 
read recently but it
certainly wasn't bad!

Keep On

Sometimes I don't know if I even want
to keep this blog going. It actually isn't that 
much work, but to be honest... I don't have many
exciting things to chit chat about.
Maybe the blog isn't the issue!!!
I need some hobbies. 
I am really looking forward to being in
our new house come March/April. 
Then I will have lots of things to share!- well
decorating wise anyways!
In the meantime, prepare for rambling because
I'm going  to keep on, keeping on this blog thing.

Christmas 2014

 I was working the Night shift straight though
Christmas this year which if I had to work, nights
 are the best shift over the holidays.  
I got off around 0630 and headed home. 
The roads were empty and the drive was easy peasy. 
When I got home, Rhys was already up and at it 
{of course} and shortly after Earl was up as well. We
has some chit chat and around 0900 Edie was up and 
we were onto gift opening. For the 4 of us, we sure
had a ton of gifts under the tree- although
the Williams will tell you this was a small Christmas. 
HAHAHAHA! 
We were all spoiled and I had with the little sleep and plenty
of Bailey's, I probably wouldn't have minded had
I gotten nothing. After gifts it was onto Mimosas, which
are def going to be a Christmas morning tradition from
now on and waffles. YUM! 
Then it was off to bed for me and Rhys and his folks
played with their new toys while I got some ZZZ's.
