As the days and nights grow longer, Sarah slowly starts to recover. As she recovers, Sarah re-evaluates what is important to her. This book is a reminder that life can change in the matter of seconds. You will find yourself crying, laughing, and rooting for Sarah as she slowly begins her life again.
I am a huge reader. I would call myself the ultimate bookworm. I have this blog to keep track of my books and also write about them, and I also have a book journal where I do the same thing. I have a book wish list that is ten pages long. I LOVE TO READ!!!

Book Review
Not without hope- Nick Schulyer
This is by far a five star plus book. A true story about four NFL players stranded at sea after a fishing boat flipped during a bad storm. Stranded in ice cold salt water with no food and no water. High waves end up drifting these men further and further away from any type of civilization. All they have is hope and each other. This is a story about strength, courage, and survival. This story will break your heart as you read what they went through. Nick, the only survivor describes in amazing detail what they were going through. You can feel how cold the water is and you can feel yourself on the waves.
This goes to show you that you have only one life to live and it can end without warning.

Review-If you lived here, you'd be home by now-LaZebnik
An upbeat fun story about love, regrets, and starting over. The main character, Rickie is a fun fear-less, does not care what other people think type of person. Rickie is a single mom, raising her only son Noah while living in her parent's home. Rickie's mom does not approve of how she lives and dresses and acts but she does not care- she is who she is and if you do not like it then scram. Her main focus is Noah, and giving him the best life possible. Both are complete outcasts and do not fit in, but that does not stop them from living to the fullest.
New loves, old loves, and finding out what true love really is. This book has got it all.
4 stars.
