Hello everyone! Happy February! February's been a fabulous month for me so far, at least I would like to forget about the sad and challenging parts and focus on some great highlights! As always, books brings me peace, as well as bring me to a place that makes me feel and enjoy the adventure with the characters.  Several this month have graced my eyes and heart with desires to already reread them (if I had the time).  From the fun surprises of Last in a Long Line of Rebels , to suspenses like Always Watching and If I Run ,  and historical heart-wrenchers like The Painter's Daughter ,  beautiful contemporaries like Back in the Saddle ,  Like There's No Tomorrow , Keeper of the Stars   and Change of Heart , I had quite the journey. O, and I can't forget the soul reaching non-fictions, Bronner and The Gift of Friendship .   Then, there's the sincerity and genuine love of just spending time with your love ones doing absolutely nothing s...
