      Good Reads & Headshots


    This summer has been filled with lots and lots of book reads. Last year I began downloading books for my iPad and it's the coolest way to read. So many pluses even though lots of people still prefer paper print, I am in reader's heaven. I love being able to get a word definition pronto, just by touch. And no more need for a night light. I know I'm quirky but I love the clean feel of the iPad vs paper. And less trees are lost from paper but I'm betting it takes a ton of other precious  resources to make an iPad, too……Anyhooo, moving along cause the vibes I'm feeling about now are not ones of support, internet world. 


    So, from time, to time, I'll share some of my good reads and would love it if you shared some of your "must reads", too. I love searching out books that are not necessarily the current reads/authors. Books that have intriguing first sentences or paragraphs thrill me. (Yes, I have NO life.) In fact, lots of times, I'll just read the first few lines, put the book aside and just think about that and what's in store….you know, kind of savor the moment. (Forgive me! It's just how I operate.)


    The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom

    This book, if you are a Mother, will be both gripping and heart tugging. What I never knew was during the period of slavery that there were also a number of Irish that were brought to this country as indentured servants. At age 7, Lavinia is orphaned while onboard ship and arrives at the steps of a tobacco plantain where she is to live and work with the slaves of the kitchen house. Without giving anymore away, it truly is tragic and filled with suspense.


    Promises To Keep by Ann Tatlock

    Excerpt from the Amazon site:

    "Eleven-year-old Roz (Rosalind) Anthony and her family have just moved to Mills River, Illinois, to escape an abusive situation. Only days after settling into their new home, they are surprised to find the previous owner, Tillie Monroe, on their front porch reading the newspaper. Though her sons have sold the house and sent her to a facility for the aged, she is determined to die in the place she lived her life, and somehow manages to find her way "home" day after day. Feeling sympathy for the elderly woman, Roz's mother allows Tillie to move back in. 


    Mara Nightingale becomes Roz's first friend in Mills River. In spite of their many differences, the girls discover they have something in common that binds them together--both are hiding secrets. So they make a promise--"cross my heart and hope to die"--never to tell anyone else."


    And just a few more by author Jodi Picoult (Anything written by Jodi Picoult is great. I love her style and characters.)

    Nineteen Minutes Jodi Picoult

    Harvesting The Heart Jodi Picoult

    The Pact Jodi Picoult: Interesting note on this book. When I went back to the Amazon site, I saw this book ended up as a banned book. Wow! This book is an amazing, heart rendering book about two teenagers that grew up together, fell in love and has a tragic twist. Get you hands on this one. Really irks me that some group most likely lobbied to get this book banned because it involves teenage suicide.If anything, the book heightens our awareness of this problem and to look for solutions. Get real people that want to control what we read....how's that working for ya' (not!)?


    Happy reading!


    And moving along, next, I'm sharing a few of Coral's headshots that we recently did for her. I just love Coral and would like to claim her as my own kid except she already has the best Mom ever!



    Coral makes my job easy. Her photos require zero editing. She truly is a natural beauty.








    The last one is my favorite, because she's 13 and letting me know that I don't know anything about being 13! Love it!
