The Diary of Mattie Spenser by Sandra Dallas

This was a wonderful book.  I loved every minute of reading it.  Romantic without being graphic,  tales of homesteading and farming, it's just my style.

Mattie is surprised when handsome Luke Spenser suddenly appears at her door and asks her to marry him and move away to his Colorado homestead.  Everyone thought Luke would marry his longtime girlfriend, Persia.   A month later, Mattie is married and headed towards Luke's Colorado homestead, armed with a diary given to her by her best friend.  The diary becomes lonely Mattie's confidant as she struggles with the hardships of trying to start a life in an untouched country and getting to know her husband.  It records the births and deaths of her children, of life in a sod house, the friends who, in another life, she likely would never have spoken too, and the heartbreak of learning that Luke has not forgotten or left Persia behind.

It's a beautifully written book, and another one I have read more than once.

  8. It belongs to the basic tying knot for the thick scarves and the biggest advantage is easy to learn.
    Many men don't know how to properly tie a tie, so don't think that you're alone. The classic sophistication is a consistent character that bow ties evoke.

  10. Carla,

    I work for Icon Media Group and we're working on a new title that released in the beginning of January that I wanted to see if you might be interested in reviewing. We'd be looking for a review to post in February, and are happy for you to host a giveaway as well, if you're interested. More information on Chasing God by Angie Smith is below—let me know if this is a title you'd be interested in reviewing. Thanks so much!!

    Chasing God
    Let's be honest: we've all questioned whether or not we're doing this
    "Christianity thing" the right way. Am I really a Christian? If I'm doing
    everything right, why do I feel so far from God? What am I missing?

    Best-selling author and highly sought-after speaker Angie Smith struggled
    with these same questions, and the answers she discovered inspired her new
    book, Chasing God (B&H Publishing, January 2014). In Chasing God, Smith
    unpacks how our earthly, unrealistic expectations of God result in us
    chasing Him, keeping us from following Him.

    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no backup.
