Well hello there!
So the second day of the new year I stepped on the scale saw the number and just plain wanted to throw up!!! But I had to say "Nicole.....Be Healthy not a number" so that is what I am continuing to do. BLAH. But any way. I already begain to expainde my mind.
Today I finished " The Mill River Recluse" By: Darcie Chan
I found it to be quite charming. It has several stories that you are following at the same time, some suspence, and a little romance. But all in all It was heart warming. Now this is going to sound terrible but for the most part I do NOT like women writers.
When I read I want to escape, feelings, thoughts, and current problems or events in my mind. But I find that when I read a womans book. Usually It brings in all the feelings I want to escape. Feelings that I have finally grown past MOST of the time. I dont like reading romance....Because realisticly.....It will never be THAT perfect, men are men and they do not always act that way. JUST SAYIN!!!! I dont like to read about the heart break.....I have had it and women write it TO real.... and It hurts to much to re-live (never forgotten, but I dont need to feel it agian).
However with all of that said. I did REALLY enjoy this book. So I give it 4 out of 5 stars :-D
It is avilb as a "lend me" book on nook....so if you have a nook or the application I would be happy to "lend" it to you. just let me know and Ill add you to my Lend buddies.
Thanks for stopping by the book corner :-) haha.

Product Description
Disfigured by the blow of an abusive husband, and suffering her entire life with severe social anxiety disorder, the widow Mary McAllister spends almost sixty years secluded in a white marble mansion overlooking the town of Mill River, Vermont. Her links to the outside world are few: the mail, the media, an elderly priest with a guilty habit of pilfering spoons, and a bedroom window with a view of the town below.Most longtime residents of Mill River consider the marble house and its occupant peculiar, though insignificant, fixtures. An arsonist, a covetous nurse, and the endearing village idiot are among the few who have ever seen Mary. Newcomers to Mill River--a police officer and his daughter and a new fourth grade teacher--are also curious about the reclusive old woman. But only Father Michael O'Brien knows Mary and the secret she keeps--one that, once revealed, will change all of their lives forever. The Mill River Recluse is a story of triumph over tragedy, one that reminds us of the value of friendship and the ability of love to come from the most unexpected of places.
