Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson - Review

I received an email from bookbub letting me know that this book was on sale! I read the synopsis and decided I'd take a chance even with all my other unread books just waiting for me  on my bookshelf and my kindle.
If anyone knows of Peter Pan, this is a new take on it narrated through the eyes of Tinkerbell.  Several twists on old familiar characters change drastically and unexpectedly.  After looking at the title and cover, you would think the story would be told by Tiger Lily...

Christmas Ornaments to Crochet & Embellish - Vol 1. On sale now! Plus freebies!

Do you like to Crochet? I do.  I have been crocheting on and off for the past - ummm- let me rephrase that. I have been crocheting since mother taught me at the age of 8.  She also taught my sister and my twin brothers as well.

At Christmas time, one of my favorite gifts to give is a handmade Christmas Ornament.  This has either been crocheted or crafted but I give every member of my family one.  Each year I want to give a little tradition to my family so they can look back...

Just Couldn't Put It Down July Giveaway Hop - July 7th thru 20th

Hosted by StuckinBooks
My all time favorite for this Just Couldn't Put It Down July Giveaway Hop is The Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning. She is an absolute fabulous author.  My long lost cousin found me on Facebook the other year and we talked for hours.  She mentioned how much she loved this series.  So since we have similar tastes in books and movies, I bought my first book, Darkfeverand soon within hours, I was buying the second, Bloodfever.

Sizzling HOT Summer Reads Blog Hop - July 1st thru 15th!

Hosted by A Bookish Escape and Lily Bloom Books

Welcome to the Sizzling HOT Summer Reads Blog Hop and Kimber's Life. I'm so happy you stopped by.
My hubby's an outdoor lover so he especially loves the summer. I love it too but bright sun and pale skin don't actually mix so well. I try to keep up with him as long as I have my sunglasses, my sunscreen and any type of shade. (LOL)
Humidity is another factor that even he doesn't take so well. A few years back we were all set to get an in-ground...
