JESUS: 90 Days With The One And Only by Beth Moore is a devotional book with her insights into scriptures that all relate to Jesus. It has 1-3 pages on each passage of scripture with questions for reflection, space to write notes and her thoughts about the verses. I used it as a devotional book and liked it. I only wrote it in a little bit because I realized it would be a good book to pass along. Also, I found many of the thought questions required too much thought for me. It is a great book for focusing on Jesus and she made some very interesting points. It was like having her in a Bible discussion with me.
If you don't mind having some of my answers, live in the U.S. and would like this book, just let me know in the comments. It does no good just sitting on my shelf. To keep it simple, the first to comment gets it if you give me your email so I can contact you for your address. It has 436 pages.
Beth Moore is a well-known Bible teacher who speaks at conferences and has written many Bible Studies.

"Thin Rich Pretty" by Beth Harbison
Thin rich Pretty by Beth Harbison is a book I read to participate in Katherines Corner Book Club this month. I thought it was a fun read, humorous, entertaining, with believable characters. The message is to be yourself. It's about how three girls met at a camp when they were 13 and how the problems they struggled with such as Holly being too fat, Nicola thinking she was ugly and Lexi, the lonely rich girl carried with them into adulthood. It deals with bullying, friendship, and restitution. I thought it was a cute story and finished it in two days. I recommend it to women, don't think men would care for it.

"The Midwife's Confession" by Diane Chamberlain
The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain is full of surprises and mother-daughter moments. When Emerson and Tara start searching for answers to why their best friend, Noelle the midwife, committed suicide, they are shocked to find out things they never knew about her. Noelle had many secrets that were kept for many years but eventually came out after she died.
I liked this book but it does have quite a few characters to keep straight and jumps from the present to the past all through it which sometimes was hard to follow. I think women would enjoy this book much more than men, just because it focuses on relationships rather than action. It's a great read about friendship, betrayal and mothers and daughters. It has discussion questions in the back which makes it very conducive to a book club selection.
I also liked another book by this author: The Secret Life Of Cee Cee Wilkes which has more action in it.

Teaser Tuesday: "The Midwife's Confession" and "Enclave" by Ann Aguirre
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought I would play for fun! Just do the following
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser.
What I have to tell you is difficult to write, but I know it will be far more difficult for you to bear, and I'm so sorry. I'm a midwife, or at least I used to be.From page 123 of The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain.
Gerard's:
Most of them died before we got old enough to recognize their faces, and it wasn't like it mattered. All Breeders looked after us until we were old enough to take basic brat schooling.From page 58 of Enclave by Ann Aguirre. (Review will be posted tomorrow evening.)
Be sure to check out our audio book giveaway of the thriller IRON HOUSE by John Hart.
