ANOTHER "WHAT I WANNA READ"


Ooooh...I had to use some MAJOR self control today and not spend money on nonessentials. I was in Kroger picking up mostly meds for my 15 year old (who is covered from head to toe with a food allergy rash) and foods that don't need refrigeration (our fridge's compressor has gone out for the third time in 6 months). As I strolled by the book section, I thought I'd do a quick look-see in case any of my author friends had books on display. It just makes me so happy when I spy one of their books just waiting to be discovered.
.
ANYWAY....I spied a book by a relatively new author, Vanessa Del Fabbro . I picked up FLY AWAY HOME and just reading the back cover blurb describing this story set in South Africa made me get misty eyes. And you KNOW when just a blurb stirs up this kind of reaction, you GOTTA read the book.
.
I'm just sayin'.
.

So family...if you're reading this, you know what I'm hoping for under the Christmas tree.
.

Oh! And did I mention that this is number 4 in a series?
.

I didn't?
.

Well it is.
.

And I've read the first two so I guess if you're going to get me this one, you'll need to get me number 3 as well.
.

I'm just sayin'....again.

Aren't I though? Mere mortals just stand in amazement. ;)
