Hey Dinah my prayers are with you and your husband; so sorry to hear he’s been diagnosed with cancer…but as an eight-year survivor I know that it doesn’t necessarily mean its a death sentence. Miracles do happen and we’ve come a long way regarding cancer treatment; so keep the faith.

Dona glad you’re taking the time to read…whether on your list or not.

Cilla…I understand you have a lot on your plate.

Donnica,
You are going to love Act Like A Lady, Think Like a Man! Steve did a great job, and I see why it’s on the NYTimes Best Sellers list. I read it in about 3 or 4 hours, and then I’ve passed it along to several of my friends! Let me know what you think about it when you’re finished

I have completed 11 books so far. However; once again I have drifted away from my original list. I am currently reading We Take This Man by Candice Dow and Daaimah S. Poole. It wasn’t on my original list and neither was The Bishop’s Daughter however after reading such wonderful reviews and comments I had to get them and see for myself. I truly was not disappointed with The Bishop’s daughter, it was a marvelous read. Read it in one and a half day.
