However, her spirit lives on in her books! She too was an avid reader and collector of books and when her sister, who is handling the affairs of Terezia's house, told us we could come and pick through her books she left behind it was like a treasure trove! I was the only one who could go, but I got a boxful and shared with the others.
[Funny story ~ we met at BooksaMillion for Book Club last week and I had the box of books with me. Naturally I didn't want to bring the box inside as it would be odd, since we were IN A BOOKSTORE! So I told the others they could come out to my car afterwards and look through them. I felt a little like a druggie or a con man selling a second rate product right outside the store of the new product! :O]
So, this is the first of her books that I read and sadly I was highly disappointed. I've read other "Love Finds You" books that have been good (still light and easy but not cheesy) but this one seemed to be written by a teenager with a teenage plot. Ugh! Not a good start to the year in reading! :(
So what if she can't hook a fish? This city girl has a plan to snag something else...and his name is Justin. Lucy Binoche is reasonably attractive, intelligent, and fit. She has French lineage and better-than-average hair. So why is she nearly 30 and still single? Justin Gerard is the rugged hottie new to her church's singles group. When he signs up for a camping trip in the Ozarks, Lucy loses no time writing her name on the line beneath his. There's only one problem Lucy's idea of "roughing it" is suffering through a long line at Starbucks. She assumes she can rely on the grace of God and the assistance of her friend to get through. But at the campsite in Snowball, Arkansas, Lucy bungles everything she attempts as she tries to impress Justin. She can't fish, hike, or ride a horse; caves make her hyperventilate; and hot-air balloons make her ill. Soon, events are snowballing out of control. Will Lucy pretend to be someone she's not just to snag a boyfriend? Or will she discover someone who loves her just as she is? (photo and description at Amazon)
In other reading news, our church is doing a Read the Bible Through this year together, so "technically" I'll be reading an extra 66 books as well!
Happy Reading!
O:)
