Eat Beautiful is both interesting and confusing.

Eat Beautiful is both interesting and confusing. I found it interesting in learning how different food can effect the body, but I found it confusing in that it tried to be too many things. On one hand it was a cookbook on another it was a guide to what to eat and what not to eat to get certain effects and then it was telling me what I should have as far as beauty supplies go. I twas a coll idea, but I think it should have been two books instead of one. Also the pages that list products and their effects were rather boring in that they did not have any pictures.

Elm Street: Memories of a Home (Volume 2) by Scott Douglas Vaughan

Elm Street: Memories of a Home (Volume 2) by Scott Douglas Vaughan is a fiction book that is the second book the Memories of Home series.  Elm Street: Memories of a Home (Volume 2) by Scott Douglas Vaughan is a book that will appeal to a mixed audience of young adults and some adults who are interested in fiction based on the author’s own childhood experiences. Elm Street: Memories of a Home (Volume 2) by Scott Douglas Vaughan follows Frank Wilcox in 1965 as he, Charlie Keller, Lester Freemont, Pete Yancey, and Wendell Mann grow from boyhood into manhood. In Elm Street: Memories of a Home (Volume 2) by Scott Douglas Vaughan Frank Wilcox and his friends deal with school spankings, explorations with their Cub Scout friends, a school bully, honor roll, and the Georgia Bulldogs football games.


                I really liked the idea that while Elm Street: Memories of a Home (Volume 2) by Scott Douglas Vaughan was totally fictional that it was based on the author’s own experiences. I enjoyed trying to spate fact based fiction from total fiction.  Elm Street: Memories of a Home (Volume 2) by Scott Douglas Vaughan was particularly well written and I found the descriptive language really allowed me to create a clear picture of the time period, the boys, and the settings. While Elm Street: Memories of a Home (Volume 2) by Scott Douglas Vaughan is the second book in the series I had no difficulty in jumping right in to book two; which was a nice change from the normal confusion I have to deal with when I begin in the middles of a series. I have to say I actually liked it so much that I plan to go back and read the first book: Brookwood Road: Memories of a Home!

Noah, Noah, What Do You See?

The Extraordinary Journey of Vivienne Marshall

Book Description:

Image result for The Extraordinary Journey of Vivienne MarshallWhat if you could choose your heaven now? Go on a celestial shopping trip of sorts? Thirty-five-year-old Vivienne does just that, as she lies dying in the ICU; a fatal walk into the path of a truck. In her final week of life, Vivienne treks through the Heavens of a priest, a best friend, a homeless child, and a lover who never was. Vivienne’s guardian angel, Noah, who may just be her soul mate, escorts her through selections of Heavens and through the confusion Vivienne experiences as she flounders between a doubt of life and the certainty of death. Although her visits to varied afterlives provide peace and beauty, choosing proves not so easy: Vivienne’s love for her young son and her earthly father pull her from her colorful journey—and from her divine love of Noah.

The nature of love, the variety and magic of life, unending hope, and the importance of saying goodbye are central to this uplifting tale.

My Review

The Extraordinary Journey of Vivienne Marshall was simply an amazing book. Before I go farther however I want to say the one thing I really loved is that this book really showcased how texting can be dangerous to not only drivers, but also pedestrians. Vivienne Marshall’s inattention to her surroundings due to her texting while walking led her to a place between life and death. While the story that follows her texting decision is a story of the beauty of heaven and is amazing all by itself the book still serves as a warning to people.

That aside the author did such an amazing job with writing this book that I wonder if the author has ever had a near death experience, an out of body experience, or if she has ever died and been brought back. The author truly makes heaven out to be a beautiful place and yet she also gives Vivienne Marshall reasons to choose to stay in her Earthly model. I won’t ruin the story by telling you which choice Vivienne Marshall decides on, but the decision itself is heart wrenching in its beauty.
