Another book review...

TRUE COLORS by Kristin Hannah
A story about three sisters suffering loss at a young age and how they grow up and grow together. Full of twists and turns, love and heartache. Which sister will you see yourself in?

I love to read! Even when I was a kid I enjoyed reading. I would read the cereal box in the morning, shampoo bottles while I was on the pot (I know TMI - too much info), whatever I could get my hands on, I would read. I loved Nancy Drew & the Hardy Boys, Gentle Ben and the Black Stallion when I was young. The Pilot's Wife, Emma's Gift and the Christmas Bus have been some great stories as I've grown.

When I walk into a book store (namely Barnes & Noble where I live) I get excited and calm at the same time. Stepping into a book allows me to step away from the challenges of living in the "real" world with responsibilities and bills. When I read I get a vision of what the people look like, what their surroundings are like...in my mind I have a very clear picture as the story is being told.

Because I consider buying a book a luxury I usually shop the discount table. I don't have to be the first one to read it when it comes out! Just like I don't have to see a movie the day it's released...I can wait for the DVD.


When I picked up 'True Colors' I couldn't put it down. The author had me from the first chapter! This is a great book for any style of reader. It's fast moving and descriptive with great flow. The only down side...there is an end :-( I will miss Dallas and Vivi just like I miss all of the characters I've met in all of the good books over the years.

**I forgot to add...this is a beautifully bound book. When you remove the dust cover you are met with a lovely mauve color with silver embossing. Hey - I told you I love books!**

Book review...


This is the best book I have ever read. I was hooked reading the forward. While it is a fictional book, it will make you think. We spend a lot of time with closed hearts. We don't volunteer at animal shelters because it breaks our heart to see them come in abused or have to be euthenized, we change the channel when they show starving children and turn a blind eye to the homeless. This book will help you open your heart and understand that giving really is better than receiving. After you read The Shack you will want all of your friends and family to have a copy.
