Review–Goodbye Hollywood Nobody

Book Description   Charley’s off to Scotland with her new beau, and Scotty and her dad travel to Maine in search of Scotty’s mom. When they land on her mother’s last known trail, will their questions finally be answered? Book Review   This is the fourth book in the series.  You can find my reviews on the other three books here: Hollywood Nobody   Finding Hollywood Nobody Romancing Hollywood Nobody I was sad to see this series ending.  It was a really great series.  I had quite a few shocks in this book.   Some things definitely didn’t turn out as I had expected them to. One thing that was interesting was seeing this other side of The Karissa.  This was the first time that we did not really see her as her better then everyone actress persona.  It was nice.  Once again, Scotty gets into some really interesting situations and it is only through her faith in God that she is able to manage to figure things out. If you have not read any of the books in this series,

Review–A Billion Reasons Why

Image
Book Description   There are a billion reasons Kate should marry her current boyfriend. Will she trade them all to be madly in love? Katie McKenna leads a perfect life. Or so she thinks. She has a fulfilling job, a cute apartment, and a wedding to plan with her soon-to-be fiancé, Dexter. She can think of a billion reasons why she should marry Dexter…but nowhere on that list is love. And then in walks Luc DeForges, her bold, breathtaking ex-boyfriend. Only now he’s a millionaire. And he wants her to go home to New Orleans to sing for her childhood friend's wedding. As his date. But Katie made up her mind about Luc eight years ago, when she fled their hometown after a very public breakup. Yet there’s a magnetism between them she can’t deny. Katie thought her predictable relationship with Dexter would be the bedrock of a lasting, Christian marriage. But what if there’s more? What if God’s desire for her is a heart full of life? And what if that’s what Luc has offered

Review–The Final Summit

Image
Book Description   David Ponder is back. This time the fate of mankind is in his hands. This is mankind’s last chance. Centuries of greed, pride, and hate have sent humanity hurtling toward disaster, and far from its original purpose. There is only one solution that can reset the compass and right the ship, and it consists of only two words. With time running out, it is up to David Ponder and a cast of history’s best and brightest minds to uncover this solution before it is too late. The catch? They are allowed only five tries to discover the answer. Readers first encountered David Ponder in The Traveler's Gift . Now, in The Final Summit, Andrews combines a riveting narrative with astounding history in order to show us the one thing we must do when we don’t know what to do. Book Review   I had not read the previous book in the series.  There were some references to the first book that I didn’t get, but they didn’t hamper my enjoyment of this book in any way.  In

Review & Giveaway – Pitstop

Image
Product Description   Pitstop is the first ever stain remover to effectively eliminate underarm stains as well as ring around the collar.  This product is best used by pre treating the entire stain, rubbing together (or using a small brush) and letting it sit for 15-20 minutes before laundering.   If you have treated your armpit stains with bleach the stain is permanent and unsalvageable. Throw out the garment and test PITSTOP on stains that have not been treated with bleach. Product Review   If your family is anything like mine, you have probably thrown out or torn up to use as rags a ton of shirts because of armpit stain due to excessive sweating.  Well I have found out that this product helps to end your days of buying more and more shirts just for them to be ruined. PitStop works really simply.  Just put a little bit on the area that needs to be treated.  Let it sit for a bit and then throw it in the washing machine. My family doesn’t separate their own laundry.
