BOOKS AND BLOGGING PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy is defined as a theory underlying or regarding a sphere of activity or thought. Well, my theory is if I can add at least 10 new books to my Wishlist and move at least 5 older Wishlist selections to my TBR list every month, then life is a ice cream sundae. And if I can find those 10 books from at least 5 new blogs each month then that's the cherry on top.

NEW VISITORS AND OLD- WELCOME!

NEW VISITORS AND OLD- WELCOME!
Well, I've made it almost 5 years now, so for better or worse, I continue on. I tend to blog in spurts as the urge to be creative erupts. As I don't have an artistic bone in my body, you will see very few changes in the layouts. Hey, I'm a reader not an artist like so many of the awesome bloggers I follow. I know you don't always have the time but if you stopped and looked, take a half a minute and say your piece. Recommend a book that you have enjoyed or hated for that matter. Thank you to all who visit.
Oh, and I moved my Google Friend Connect info and share this buttons to the top, as without our friends, who are we?

 Elle spent her life waiting for someone else to die…

Seventeen-year-old Elle Collins spent most her life waiting for someone else to die…

When a heart donor is found, Elle awakes from surgery gifted with more than just a new heart—clairaudient messages and spiritual apparitions haunt her until she is convinced that she must be insane. Either that, or her donor is sending a message.

Desperate for answers the medical community can’t provide, Elle’s divination leads her to the family of her donor—a young girl named, Cas. With the help of her best friend, Rob—the guy who’s a testament that her new heart is capable of love, Elle must make sense of the clues Cas is sending.

As pieces of Cas’s life and death emerge, Elle will discover that she and Cas share more than just a heart.
Excerpt:



I slide the
glass shower doors open and turn on the water, adjusting until I find just the
right temperature.

As I step under 
the spray, the water hits my
 face in hard pellets. It feels good. Begrudgingly,
I reach down to grab a bar of soap. A sharp pain 
shoots down the left side of
my arm. For a moment, I feel paralyzed.
 My immediate thought is to yell for
help, but I can’t find my voice. I try to take a 
deep breath, but can’t. I
crumple to the tub and feel a strange, 
tingling sensation zip through my 
fingertips.

“Mom!” I let out
a blood curdling squeal in a voice I don’t 
even recognize.

My mother runs 
into the bathroom and slams 
the shower door open.

“What is it?”
She is the color of her bleached white towels. 
“What’s wrong?”

“It’s my heart!
Something is wrong. Call the hospital.”
