The Wedding Gift by Marlen Suyapa Bodden - The Wedding Gift is so good that I've completely forgotten the other good books that I've read these past few weeks. You can run out and get it now, and don't even finish reading my review! I started it yesterday, and basically didn't put it down or do anything else until I finished it. Just for the record, this week my calendar is completely blank, so I decided that today would be a vacation day. Took my book to the beach and read to my heart's content. This is the story about a slave girl named Sarah in the 1850s and her family and owners. I didn't read the back cover before reading the book, and I suggest not reading it, because it basically tells the entire story in a paragraph, and what fun is that? If you've ever liked any of the books I've recommended, then I recommend that you read this one next. Something is happening in this story until the very last page.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
