Evening Edition, Free Nook Book and Quilting Cave Alert!

Here's a Nook Freebie that is entertaining me this weekend.  I just started it and am already 100 pages in.  The time that it's written in in 1988 from the voice of a girl called Charlie who is a High School Freshman.  I started 9th grade in the fall of 1988 so I think that is what attracted me to the book.

Charlie Woodchuck is a Minor Niner by Dalya Moon

Overview - It's 1988, and Charlie Woodchuck is the most minor of niners. At thirteen, she’s the youngest girl at Snowy Cove High School, and so clueless, she wore leg warmers and acid-wash jeans on her first day. Big mistake! Almost as big a mistake as signing up for a boys-only shop class. Doy.

Just when she thinks the first week of high school can’t get any more weird, Charlie discovers she may be adopted. According to her Science textbook, her eyes should be blue, not brown.

Now the girl with the boy’s name will have to use her detective skills to uncover the mystery of her identity. She'll need the help of best friend Stacy, expert blackmailer, and new friend Ross, expert class clown.

Before the year ends, Charlie will face down the biggest bullies of all: the all-powerful members of Snowy Cove’s School Board. The Board doesn't like what Charlie's been up to, and they're all out of doughnuts.

 In other news - It seems that there's a "Quilt Cave" in the making... today I've been in the basement opening up box after box in the sewing room. I almost teared up when I found my iron!!!!! Now I can drop off that $4 clearance one I bought at Target a few weeks ago at the Goodwill!! So much stuff to sort through and figure out what goes where!

I even found my design wall!! Who knows, maybe by the time Monday rolls around I'll have it hung up and can take a photo to share in JudyL's weekly show-n-tell design wall Monday posts. lol  But don't hold your breath...

Evening Edition, Free NOOK Books!

I recently finished reading the popular book called The Help by Katheryn Stockett - best $9.99 I ever spent!!! The book is so good and I loved how each chapter was in the voice of different characters.  David and I saw the movie recently and although it was good... the book was better! :)

Thanks to a new webpage called the-cheap.net I've found many books for very little.  I just finished up Replaced by a Stranger by KC Stone that I bought for only $0.99 and it's based on a true story.  I'm not good at writing reviews - too afraid I might give away too much, but I enjoyed the book.  Not very often you hear the story written from the cheater's persepective...

**Based on a true story**
Growing up in a small town in South Carolina, Emily Weston enjoyed a good life. Small towns offer great relationships where everyone knows everyone and a peaceful back drop to set the scene of her what seemed to be perfect life. However, this small town was no stranger to affairs, lies and abuse and now, Emily Weston has added to it.

Emily Weston was a woman who had everything she wanted, a loving husband and a great job. However, the pressure of all the flirtatious behavior Emily faced each day at work became too much. Her inner desires and lack of attention from her loving husband, coupled with the onslaught of temptation at work, would prove to be stronger than the marriage she had worked so hard to build. It will soon be apparent all of the things she had worked hard to achieve would come crashing down in a twisted pile of rubble full of lies and deceit.

Emily strived for some kind of balance in her life and she found it in another man. All of the things she had long desired, she found in Troy.....compassion, excitement and fulfillment. She would also discover, along with her fulfilled desires, a game that no one wins....... Lies lived on the tip of Troy's tongue and his manipulating personality seemed innate. This and more arising danger would be looming for Emily along with many heartbreaking choices.

Now that I'm done with that I've been searching for more titles, preferably FREE to add to my Nook Color.  Here's one that I recently found and thought might be good and thought I'd share with you. Be sure and double check to make sure it's still free before you download.

My Sister's Voice by Mary Carter

Publishers Weekly writes -

Carter’s talent continues to evolve, as evidenced in this solid offering about deaf artist Lacey Gears, whose happy life—good boyfriend, rising career, faithful dog—is upended when she receives a mysterious note informing her that she has a twin sister she didn’t know existed. Lacey soon discovers the message is true and that she’s not an orphan as she had thought: her parents put her up for adoption and kept her hearing twin, Monica. As she comes to terms with this, she reconnects with her sister, but the secrets kept by her birth family could have dire consequences. Though the plot is limp in spots, Carter’s command of deaf culture is superb, and Lacey is a charismatic heroine—a nice contrast to her unstable, clingy twin.

So now that fall is here - what are you reading?

Evening Edition, Free NOOK Books!

I'm not sure if anyone saw last night's post with the FREE Nook Book - but I thought I'd go ahead and share two more that I've found and downloaded to add to my collection. They may not be free for ever - so I didn't anyone to miss out.

I have no idea when I'll start any of these, I'm currently half way thru the book called "The Help" which has a movie that is currently playing in theaters.  David is itching to go see it b/c I have been reading to him out loud while we traveled back and forth last month to KY and some nights at home when we go to bed at the same time.  I don't want to go see the movie until I finish the book! What fun is that!

Also I have many boxes that are literally staring me in the face each night after the kids are all put to bed... they are lining the walls of the den and I've no energy left at night to go thru yet another box... however - in just 2 days, the IN LAWS ARE COMING! yikes! haha  Not sure if I should work on the den boxes or dining room today... but while I work here are 2 more books for you to take a look at and see if they are of interest to you.  

And remember! You don't have to be a Nook OWNER to download and read these titles for free! You can go to the Barns & Noble website and download a free reader app for your phone, computer, Ipod or Ipad!

Overview

Shelia Rushmore thought she'd be the last woman standing when it was time to fight for her man. Instead Ace, her boyfriend of two years, chose to reunite with his ex-wife, leaving Shelia emotionally devastated. It's a year later when Sheila is convinced that sneaking into their wedding ceremony will put closure on the gaping hole in her heart. But it's on the back pew of the church where a new relationship begins for Shelia. She can't explain the touch she received from God on that day, but she's determined to be a better woman-a woman of faith. Since high school, Shelia has been chasing her definition of the good life - it's left her with no home, no man, and no money. But now that's she's living life for God, things should get better, right? Shelia learns that living a faith-filled life isn't always easy. With faith, tough love, and some tough decisions, Shelia realizes that the life she'd been praying for she could have for herself is actually attainable. Being wrapped in God's arms, she decided, was by far the safest place she'd ever been.

Overview

 From the moment Riley Sinclair stepped onto Paradise Island, Bahamas, and into her new job as director of guest relations at a five-star resort, she felt the pieces of her once-broken life finally coming together. But the waters become choppy when Riley discovers that some who come to the Atlantis hotel arrive with more than just suitcases and suntan lotion in tow— they’re accompanied by their lurking demons, paralyzing secrets, and overwhelming fears.

Riley and three women guests are in desperate but unknowing need of each other, eventually forging unlikely yet powerful friendships. With a hurricane headed straight for the island, together they embark on a journey of laughter and lunacy, heartache and healing.
