The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah - This is the best book I've read since All The Light We Cannot See. Everything about this story is engaging. First of all, it could have really happened, secondly, the main characters are amazing strong women who faced unspeakable situations, made decisions in cases where there was no good choice, and somehow survived. It's about history, family, love, relationships, trust, power, evil, good, choice and love. Vianne and Isabelle are opposite personalities, bonded by blood and experience throughout their lives. They each forge a path that demonstrates their bravery and strength as women. Read it next, even if I said to read something else next.
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.
