Take a look, it's in a book!

Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book.  ~Author Unknown
I don't know about you, but I LOVE to read!! I love getting lost in a good book and becoming so immersed in the story that you feel all of the emotions of the book (Does that make sense?). Anyways, there are so many books and authors out there that I love, but I want to introduce you to my absolute Favorite  author.

Meet Karen White

Karen is a fabulous southern author from Georgia. I have read every single one of her books and absolutely loved every single one of them! I could go on and on about how much I love her books, but I won't do that. However, I am going to talk about the last two books of hers that I read, Falling Home and Pieces of the Heart. I took these two books with me on our trip to Antigua last week. I actually started and finished Falling Home on the plane ride to Antigua. It was such a good book and I was so into the story that I cried three times on the plane....SO EMBARRASSING!! When I finished I turned to my husband and said, " I hope they make this into a movie." If I say this about a book you know that I loved it! So far, I have said it about everyone of Karen White's books! :) 

Here is a little bit about Falling Home

Cassie Madison, estranged from her sister, returns home to be with her dying father, intending to leave the sleepy Georgia town immediately after his funeral. Unexpectedly, she inherits the family home. Now she has to stay in Walton until it sells...which happens to be just long enough for her to learn how the power of family, memories and a former love can lead to the most amazing discoveries.

"Karen White hits all the right notes with this powerful and moving family drama. FALLING HOME is a touching, sad, joyful and rewarding read."
— RT BookReviews

"Richly engrossing, FALLING HOME is a brilliant work of art."
—Fresh Fiction

See! I'm not the only one who loved it. Go read it!

Pieces of the Heart was my beach read. The only bad thing about it was I finished it in two days. Luckily, I brought some back up books! This was such a sweet book! I really thought I had it all figured out, but there was a good twist towards the end that I somehow didnt see coming! Definitely check this one out!

Tension between Caroline Collier and her mother still simmers sixteen years after the death of Caroline’s beloved brother. Escaping to the family’s lake house in the North Carolina mountains becomes a turning point for both women in this novel about reconciliation, old secrets, and discovering love in the hidden places of the heart.
