#BookRec - Only Ever Her


(partner)

@shereadswithfriends Co-founder Marybeth Mayhew Whalen is fabulous at what I like to call 'slow burn writing' - character driven plot-lines that build tension and suspense set in small town America - and her latest novel #OnlyEverHer due out 5/7 doesn't disappoint! 

"A bride-to-be goes missing just four days before her wedding and a community is left reeling. As the days pass, the list of suspects grows and her loved ones are left to confront their own secrets." 

This. Book. Y'all.

Marybeth's engaging writing style brings you right into Annie Taft's life and drops you into the middle of Southern small town living in Ludlow, South Carolina. (But you don't have to live in the South to relate to just how small a world small town living can be). 

I was hooked right from the get-go! Annie, along with Laurel, Kenny, Carry and Faye's points-of-view weave a story full of tragedy & heartbreak, secrets & lies, revenge & redemption, darkness & light. You'll assume you have it all figured out as you go along, but all I can say is, strap yourself in and hang on, y'all are in for some 'didn't - see - that - coming' twists and turns! 
Is this 5-star page-turner on your #TBRlist yet? 
Thank You again to #LittleBirdPublicity for this free review copy!

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist . For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
