The Girl You Left Behind by Jo Jo Moyes - A really good book in that genre where a parallel story takes place in two separate decades. In this case, it's both present day and 1916 during World War I. It's also a story about what happens to possessions as the years go by, and how to trace such things many years after the fact if there are no records. We speculate about what the people were thinking and doing all those many years ago, but since we weren't there, we don't really know. Unique love stories round out the tale with female heroines who are motivated by love. It's very different from the other Jo Jo Moyes book, but the story is every bit as enticing.
The Time of My Life by Cecelia Ahern - Irish chick lit packed with wisdom and events to make one think about life. It's written rather informally and with a cheery flavor, but at the core of this book is a serious theme. Lucy, the main character and narrator is at a crossroads but doesn't know it although everyone around her is well aware that she is not being her best self or living her best life. It's a breezy book, perfect for a day at the beach, about Lucy Silchester and her life. I couldn't help but imagine all the great looking guys in this book, and thinking about which actors could play them in the movie where I see Lucy played by Renee Zellweger.
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.
