"July's Book Of The Month......"

I have already read Hester Browne's debut novel "The Little Lady Agency" and enjoyed it. So off to the bookstore I went last winter and bought two sequels. So my Book choice for the month of July is...the second book in the sequel, "Little Lady, Big Apple."

For those of you who aren't familiar with "The Little Lady Agency" books, they are about a efficient secretary Melissa who set up her own etiquette and grooming agency.  She isn't confident enough to run it herself, so she dons a blond wig and becomes Honey, a no-nonsense bombshell who helps clueless bachelors shop and entertain. A confident Mary Poppins in silk stockings, she even attends parties if a client needs a "date." Therein, some funny moments occur....

The first book in the sequel was a classic comedy of manners with a funny comedy of errors.

I am hoping the sequels will be as light-hearted and full of funny moments as the  first one was.

Off to "My Reading Corner" to start reading my Book Choice of the Month. "Little Lady, Big Apple."

"Same Time Next Year"

This book is two books in one. I just finished reading the one entitled: "Same Time Next Year" yesterday. It was a nice easy week-end read and was alright  but very predictable. It didn't take much to figure out the plot. Most of the time I new where the story line was leading.  Maybe, I have just read to many Debbie Macomber books. But, I am just a sentimental sap and like the light fluffy stories.

Would I recommend it to others to read? Only, if you are a Debbie Macomber fan and like me enjoy reading her books.  I would give it 3 stars out of 7.

"I'M BACK......"

My "Reading Corner"  I'M BACK! 

 I decided to delete you  on June 7,  when I made my new blog "Butterflies and Candles"  I noticed a week ago,  (unbeknown to me until then)    I could have you back if I wanted you. Therefore, I welcome you back...but I think I will probably keep my posting to one or two times a month this time.  I'll see. I'm also thinking about keeping you private.  After all you are not a very interesting blog...Come to think of it, none of my blogs are very interesting, not like everyone elses. Oh well, you are just for my entertainment as is all my blogs...Anyone who cares to read and be bored along with me. WELCOME!

Today, I decided I needed some comfortable and cozy reading, so I am going to read a Debbie Macomber book entitled: "Same Time, Next Year."

 

It sounds like a nice fun week-end book to read and if I don't finish it this week-end, I always have evenings and next week-end. 

What a hoe-down this town is having next week-end  (July 2-5).   It is the 150 year celebration of this town. It has been around 150 years. I think I will spent my time on the porch  those four days and stay out of the way of the comings and goings, and just enjoy reading my book. 

I will close the "Reading Corner"  for now and get to my book.  Happy Reading...

"Eleanor Roosevelt And Franklin Roosevelt"

A friend send me this picture of the Roosevelt's as newlyweds, I think. If you look close you will see that Mr. Roosevelt is knitting. So different from today.
Eleanor Roosevelt: Biography from Answers.com: "'All human beings have failings, all human beings have needs and temptations and stresses. Men and women who live together through long years get to know one another's failings; but they also come to know what is worthy of respect and admiration in those they live with and in themselves. If at the end one can say, This man used to the limit the powers that God granted him; he was worthy of love and respect and of the sacrifices of many people, made in order that he might achieve what he deemed to be his task, then that life has been lived well and there are no regrets.'"
