They've Taken Over My Life

Lately, my blog is starting to look like a collection of book reviews and read-me recommendations. I guess that’s where my head has been of late - stuck in a book - or rather - a series of books.

I’ve been flying through The Dark Tower series and like King’s little ka-tet I’m totally immersed in the quest!

I’m officially halfway though the series with the center mark being the middle of Wizard and Glass, Book IV. Surprisingly, this novel is basically a romance featuring star-crossed lovers, stolen kisses and all that good breathless-heaving-virginal-bosom stuff. Throw in a witch, a few youthful gunslingers, a really weird post-apocalyptic old-west style town, then add a crystal ball that glows pink and you’ve got yourself a pretty good story.

Sadly, my own writing is suffering. I just won’t be able to focus on much of anything till I get myself to that darn Dark Tower. Stephen King and these books of his have taken over my life!

Here's to discovering this series rather late in the game and being spared a long and frustrating wait between releases! Oh, and here's to getting my life back... one day!

Replay by Ken Grimwood


For those of us who are enamored with the idea of time-travel… For those who have thought about what we’d do if we could re-live our lives… For those of us who found The Butterfly Effect fascinating… I have a book recommendation.




Grimwood answers the question:
What if you could live your life over again? and again? and again?

Valentine's Day

Beloved,

Let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

(1 John 4:7-8)

Here's to a Happy Valentine's Day full of God's Love!
