<b><i>Flawed </i>by Cecelia Ahern</b></h2>
<br />
I listened to the book <i>Flawed</i> this weekend while I drove here and there, did chores and cooked. I listened on a Playaway from the library. What a great way to listen to books. I'd love for my books to be on a Playaway....maybe someday.<br />

<br />
My thoughts:<br />
<br />
Love the cover.<br />
This book was clean- no swearing or sex.<br />
This book was violent and shocking.<br />
This book kept my attention more than 1/2 the time.<br />
It was dark.<br />
I loved the reader-she was excellent.<br />
This book ended with a cliffhanger- I did not see the conclusion to any story arc, though, which was disappointing. It was like they simply split the book in two.<br />
Will I read the next book? Maybe. If I have time or happen to see it in a Playaway at the library.<br />
<br />
What are you reading right now?<br />
My next Playaway is an oldie but I hear, goodie-<i>Pendragon</i><br />
<i><br /></i> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Keep reading!</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Victoria Digby’s life in
Chuzzlewit is picturesque. Ideal. Born to a good family, she’s also the star
pilot in the Aviatory’s Protection Program, one of twelve young ladies assigned
to protect their town from the Kreak—a deadly, mechanical creature residing in
the nearby ocean. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Enter Graham Birkley, a
peculiar boy claiming to be from a strange place Victoria has never heard of.
Graham enlists her help looking for a lost friend, a man no one in town has
ever heard of either. The more she gets to know Graham, the more she not only
loses her heart, but also all sense of security about the life she thought she
loved. Graham knows secrets about people, things he couldn’t possibly know,
including a secret about Victoria that she has yet to uncover. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

what the sky is hiding. And when he tells her the truth, getting rid of the Kreak
is no longer Victoria’s biggest problem. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: "noto serif", georgia, "times new roman", times, serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 24px; text-align: start;">
She'll have to break every rule in the Reaper book to save them, including using a little magic to become temporarily human. With the help of Tully and her witchy friend Tessa, Grace goes undercover on a college campus to save the fates of kidnapped souls. What she didn't count on was the boy who makes her laugh like no other, who makes her feel alive again and question her existence. With her own soul in peril, Grace realizes that demons aren't working alone. Betrayal and distrust runs deep and Grace discovers that sometimes even Reapers are prone to humanity.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 37px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Despite Matt's protest, his playful tone had me going along with it. I made a show of glancing around. Leaning in, I whispered, “They’re not going to kill us, are they?” </div>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 37px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
“I sure hope not,” he said, turning serious as he met my gaze, “because I don’t want to die before I get to kiss you.” </div>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 37px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
His response silenced me and he took that as his cue. He came forward until his nose gently bumped mine. Warmth radiated off him and at that point, Tully could’ve popped up to reprimand me and I wouldn’t have cared. All I wanted was Matt’s lips on mine. I got my wish. </div>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 37px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I didn’t pull away, Matt placed his hands on either side of my face, deepening the kiss. I let him in, enjoying the sensation of feeling alive. When he finally pulled away, he looked as dazed as I felt. </div>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 37px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Wow,” he whispered. </div>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 37px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
A flush crept up up my neck at his reaction, but inside every bit of me seemed to glow from satisfaction. </div>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 37px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Can we do that again?” he asked. </div>
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 37px;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
A giggle escaped me and I nodded. I spent the next hour lost in his eyes and lips. </div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;">Cambria
Brandt stood in the doorway holding her tennis racquet, smiling at him in that
knowing way that he found so frustrating on an eighteen-year-old girl. She
always looked at him as if she could read his thoughts, which would be
disastrous for his position at the school if she really could.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Ah,
Cambria, I hadn’t heard you come in.”<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I think
I left my book in here.” She looked past him and pointed to her fifth period
chair. “There it is.”<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Smiling,
she moved past him, smelling earthy and sweat. The air around her moved. He
could practically feel the molecules rearranging themselves, welcoming her into
his space. Typically he didn’t notice what women—girls, he corrected
himself—wore, but he found Cambria’s too-short tennis skirt and tank top hard
to ignore.<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Because
he couldn’t indulge in such thoughts about Cami—or any of his students—Joel
strode to his microscope. The bottle of water from the Witching Well sat on the
counter. He had forgotten about that. He picked it up, intending to throw it
away.<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I heard
your sister is getting married,” Cambria said, pausing beside him.<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Joel
cleared his throat. “Yes.”<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">“And
that she’s going to be running the dress shop out of your grandmother’s house.”<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Yes,”
he repeated, adjusting his glasses so that he could see her better. Damn. Why
did she have to look like that? Long blond curly hair, damp with sweat. Flushed
skin. Shining eyes.<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">“I think
it’s so cool. All the girls love Delia’s Dress Shop. I can’t wait to see her
wedding dress. Celia is so talented.”<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Joel
nodded, cursing himself for social ineptitude and his inappropriate thoughts.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>She’s a kid</i>, he berated
himself.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Get a grip</i>.<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Waving
her hand in front of her flushed face, she nodded at the water bottle in his
hand. “Can I have a drink? Do you mind?” She reached for it and her fingers
brushed his. Tingles shot up his arm.<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cambria
unscrewed the lid. “The water fountain on the courts is still broken.”<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Um,
that’s not—” Joel began.<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">But
Cambria didn’t stop to listen. “Don’t worry. I won’t put my lips on it,” she
said. Tipping her head back, she poured the water from the Witching Well into
her mouth.<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="m4459831416242432149ydpa5ecadfdmsonormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.3in;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The
tennis racquet, water bottle and book fell with a clatter as Cambria vanished.</span></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
I'm never sure if I should lead with the good or the bad, but this time, I'll go with the saying and start with the good. I'll most likely end with the good too if that's okay. I'd hate to leave Comic Con on a sour note.<br />

My Mom's to Blame.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the favorite things I did with my MOM </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">growing up is make candy. </span> (<span style="font-size: x-small;">Book <a href="https://mothersdaybookbash.wordpress.com/">Sale</a> and giveaway)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GsZsLD5tehs/VydU7QqBErI/AAAAAAAAHb0/H1tbPxHYsRYmzEuXKe9B_0cBcX6lt-TdgCLcB/s1600/caramel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="315" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GsZsLD5tehs/VydU7QqBErI/AAAAAAAAHb0/H1tbPxHYsRYmzEuXKe9B_0cBcX6lt-TdgCLcB/s320/caramel.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
My favorites? Her caramel and white fudge. YUM- no, double YUM.<br />
<br />
Both of these things require a lot of consistent stirring (caramel especially) and strength (white fudge) and with crippling arthritis settling in, she doesn't often make them anymore.<br />
<br />
I decided someone needed to pass on the tradition and it would <span style="font-size: large;">HAVE</span> to be me. I know, making candy is such a chore....but....:) What I <span style="font-size: large;">discovered</span> is that she made it look easy, and even though I helped a lot, I didn't have any idea what the tricks were to making these two luscious treats successfully.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B35iSgpNkKQ/VydWO-zV9YI/AAAAAAAAHb8/IEZQjQqgRcgX2eaO4cECYPmehlJ_PBt9ACKgB/s1600/Fudge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B35iSgpNkKQ/VydWO-zV9YI/AAAAAAAAHb8/IEZQjQqgRcgX2eaO4cECYPmehlJ_PBt9ACKgB/s200/Fudge.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
<br />
After many failures, many coaching sessions, and finally getting a proper candy pot, I can say that consistently perfect caramel and white fudge come from my little kitchen now.<br />
<br />
My mom's legacy lives on and YES!<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I blame her for my love of all things sweet</span>...<br />
She's definitely the one to blame...let's not even talk about the chocolate addiction.<br />
<br />
Now my mom and I share another addiction--reading. The best part is that this is something that even arthritis can't take away. Hooray!<br />
<br />
Here's a <span style="font-size: large;">little sale</span> for you. Maybe you can find a couple ten or twenty books to share with your mom today (most are free or .99 cents this week only). And, <a href="http://smarturl.it/Kateunmasked"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Kate Unmasked</i> </span></a>is included. It's never been on sale before. It's the perfect time to get started on this series because the final one comes out next month. And there's even a <a href="https://mothersdaybookbash.wordpress.com/enter-the-rafflecopter/">giveaway of a $50 gift card</a>- go win some money for more books.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Daughter of Winter</h1>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Daughter of Winter will be released April 21st. Here's the new synopsis:<br />
<br />
Bargains. Only the truly desperate make them. Only the truly desperate need them. And always, the desperate pay.<br />
<br />
The silence and never-ending dark of winter are all Elice has ever known, for she is the daughter of the Winter Queen. Isolated in a northern queendom with only the seals for company, she dreams of color and music and life. So when a whaling ship crashes just offshore, she doesn't hesitate to rescue the lone survivor, Adar, who quickly becomes her friend. She must keep him hidden
from her mother at all costs, for if the Winter Queen discovers him trespassing, she'll kill him.<br />
<br />
But when her mother reveals just how dark her soul has become, Elice realizes she is as much a prisoner as Adar. To ever know true freedom—ever to become the woman she was meant to be—she must flee with him. But in their flight, she begins to see hints of something more nefarious. The darkness that has taken hold of her mother is spreading, staining the world with its influence. <br />
<br />
Unbeknownst to Elice, a bargain was made long ago. A bargain she was born to fulfill.</div>

<span style="color: blue;">Wednesday</span>-I need to finish Kate Concealed...but I need to be teaching kids at a school visit all day and then set up for Comic Con-the tomatoes and pears still need to be canned. Was I in charge of dinner?<br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue;">Thursday</span>-I need to finish Kate Concealed...but I need to be at Comic Con- come see me-all my books will be there-even <i>Fatal Exchange</i>. I'd love to sign yours. <i>(note to self-don't forget the pens)</i> Should I practice my speech for tomorrow? Or prepare for the class I've got to teach at church? Oh, the laundry- shoot. Did I leave it in the washer on Saturday?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Friday</span>- I need to finish Kate Concealed...but I will be at Comic Con and then speaking at a women's retreat- Oh, and the pears and tomatoes need canning- did I mention the grapes are ripe? Where's the juice? Oh, I have to do that, don't I? Tomorrow's homecoming for Hannah-Hunger Games for the day date and lots of sparkles for the dance- can we say steak for dinner? Go Outback.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Sat</span>- <span style="font-size: x-small;">(yeah, by this time in the week everything is getting shortened.)</span> I need to finish Kate Concealed...but I will be at Comic Con- and the grapes, they smell amazing- anyone say grape juice? oh, and I need to prepare a talk for the youth on Sunday- is that tomorrow? And Hannah has homecoming- Can't miss that- must take pictures. She's going to be stunning.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Sun</span>-I need to finish Kate Concealed...but I will be worshiping- and did I tell you the all the peppers and onions are ready to use with the tomatoes to can salsa? p.s. they were ready last week...and the watermellons-I need to pick the melons. Yum. First great crop ever- we must've had the perfect weather this year. Lucky me. Lucky you.<br />

Oh, and silly me, I forgot I actually needed to feed the family and maybe talk to them, clean the house and oh, of course, get the laundry done. And for the love, ...there's the dog.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">BUT WAIT!</span><br />
The one thing I hope you got from this post- How much I LOVE my LIFE. It's the best- but, I would appreciate it if any of you could deposit some time in my daily time bank-I sure could use some. :)<br />
Maybe then I'll have BALANCE- and some yummy grape jelly.<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh, and the beached whale needs assistance- anyone?<br />
