Terrific Tuesday 10-22-2013

In a bit of a brainstorming session between the two of us (which generally includes a phone call and multiple texts back and forth between our children screaming our names or carting them around) we have decided to add a weekly blog entry called Terrific Tuesday. Terrific Tuesday will not be a review per say, but just a book that we have read in the past that we would like to recommend you read.....therefore making the author and their book-yep, you guessed it, TERRIFIC! These books may be a year or more old, but sometimes those oldies but goodies can get lost in our searching shuffle and reading an old one can turn us onto an author we weren't all that familiar with. So ladies (and a few good men), lift up your glasses and Cheers because:

Jen:
So, our first entry is a fantastic author by the name of Jennifer Close. I was introduced to her through a friend who knew I loved reading, but when you have small kids, you have small snippets of time that you can actually quickly open your book and get a quick fix. (Mine was typically faking the need to tinkle while sitting on the bathroom floor allowing myself a good 5 minutes of solitude......and luckily I'm past that now!) So, this book was actually perfect for where I was in my life.

This amazing book is so perfect because it reads very much like a group of short stories....which for the busy person is a total bonus! The story follows three girls who are coming to terms that everyone around them is getting married. And for those who have been there, going to bridal shower after bridal shower, we know how it seems like it may never end-or ever be you! The stories follow their lives as they deal with job changes, lost loves, and watching virtually everyone around them get married. There is lots of laughter as well as some heartbreak to balance the book's mood.

It was a quick easy read, which is why it was a painless choice for what book to list first. So, let us know what you think after reading. Tell us why you loved it........and if you would recommend it to your friends. And as always.......Happy Reading!
