The Lightkeeper's Bride by Colleen Coble


I liked that has a cool job like a telephone operator.  But as with Colleen's other book that I read recently, called Lonestar Sanctuary, I found myself loosing interest.  Maybe the stories are just not long enough for a full length novel.  I don't know I just started to loose it around 2/3 through.

Facebook Marketing/

I am very fascinated by what is happening in the marketing end of the world.  I'd like to understand how the internet will convince me to look at their ads.  Ok, not counting those really cute dog ads at Subaru...

Then I thought that the facebook one was too specific for me and this one might be more readable...

Quilt Fiesta by Cheryl Lynch

Surprising Designs from Mexican Tiles indeed.  I was very impressed at how much these fairly simple blocks looked like the Mexican tile walls and floors we saw in Mexico.  Very interesting.  I think she did an extremely good job of the fabric selections that carried out the designs.

Open Road's Best of Paris

Yes, I am planning a trip

A Cup of Friendship by Deborah Rodriquez

I am just getting into this.  I can barely put it down to write this.  Deborah does an amazing job of setting the scene of a part of the world I have never been to.  But I have been to Turkey, I wonder if her cafe is on a street like this...

Wow, now I have read the whole thing.  It was just too good to put down.  I suspect that it is a pretty good insight into life in Afghanistan.  It fit with my current idea that sometimes people need to figure things out for themselves.

Orphan Blocks / Quilt a Gift

These two books were ones I picked from the library website but both fell a little short.

The orphan blocks one didn't help much with the single orphan my sister sent me from Texas.  And the baby Quilt a Gift for little ones was too fussy....
