Shannon Dittemore has an overactive imagination and a passion for truth. Her lifelong journey to combine the two is responsible for a stint at Portland Bible College, performances with local theater companies, and a focus on youth and young adult ministry. The daughter of one preacher and the wife of another, she spends her days imagining things unseen and chasing her two children around their home in Northern California.

Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly
Revolution
by Jennifer Donnelly
read in April, 2013
One of the best books I've read in a long time. It's dark at times, but there's light there. And fireworks. Keep reading.

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
BARDUGO IS SUCH A GREAT STORYTELLER (Yes, I'm yelling). A fantasy with lots of intrigue and a Russian influence that sets it apart from other similar stories. I could rave about it for days, but everyone else has already done that. I'm looking forwar...more

Captives by Jill Williamson
I loved Captives so much I blurbed it. Williamson is fabulous with her world building in this one and her characters stick with you in a way that makes putting the story aside a near impossibility. Add it to your TBR stack. You'll thank me.

House of Mercy by Erin Healy
House of Mercy
by Erin Healy (Goodreads Author)
Compelling characters, a twisting mystery, and a spectacular setting combine to make this a unique tale of redemption and discovery. And it's Erin Healy, people! Her writing is just killer.

Shades of Earth by Beth Revis
I love this gal's writing. A fabulous and somewhat surprising conclusion to a great trilogy.

The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
The Forgotten Garden
by Kate Morton
read in March, 2013
Lovely read. Reminded me how much I love story and the power a tale has to sweep us away. I'd recommend this one for anyone who likes a long, unhurried read.

“There is something so attractive about a man who is able to laugh shamelessly.”
Shannon Dittemore, Angel Eyes

“But let me ask you this: when Canaan cloaked you with his wings and you disappeared from the Terrestrial realm, did you just...stop existing?"
"Of course not," I say, surprised by the question.
"It's the same thing, Elle. Ali and your mother have been cloaked by death. You can't see them, but they're not gone. Not really. Our spirits will outlive our physical bodies, so it's our spirits we have to take care of."

“Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”
Neil Gaiman, Coraline

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches

“There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.”
Jane Austen, Emma

“There is something so amiable in the prejudices of a young mind, that one is sorry to see them give way to the reception of more general opinions.”
Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

“but for my own part, if a book is well written, I always find it too short.”
Jane Austen

Shannon The Lady Emily books are awesome. They are a bit like Pride and Prejudice in that they are period pieces, set close to that time frame. The author's favorite book is Pride and Prejudice so you can see it's influence there. The only thing I'd say is that they weren't written for a teen audience. There isn't really anything inappropriate in them. A bit of kissing here and there, but that's it. Just understand that depending on your preferences, they may or may not be able to hold your attention. That being said, I love them. Of all the new authors I've read this past year, she's my favorite.




message 14: by Alyssa

Alyssa Hey, are the Lady Emily books any good? I looked at them and they sound interesting. From looking at the covers, they kinda remind me of Pride and Prejudice. :)


message 13: by Alyssa

Alyssa I heard about that book too. Im told its a good book though.


message 12: by Shannon

Shannon I have not seen it. But you don't need your view tainted do you!? That would be sad!

Jacy Have you seen the book at B&N called Darcy's Temptation?? I feel like if I read it it would ruin my view of Darcy and Elizabeth!!!

What are the odds of that? It is so not fair :) Watch when I win I am going to get a book that I didn’t really want to read anyway! LOL! FYI Goodwill is 50% off Saturday! That means books for 50 cents!
