My new favorite series


I am absolutely in love with the Debbie Macomber Cedar Cove series!!! Above is the cover of the first book in the series and the one I am currently reading... I have all of the books at home waiting on me to read them (thanks to Paperback Swap) but the 9th book in the series isn't out yet, it comes out in September.

I love stories like this because characters you meet in the first book will reappear in other books and you are constantly learning new things about them!!!

So far 16 Lighthouse Road (which is where the main character of this book, Olivia Lockhart, lives) has grabbed my attention and I can't seem to put it down... I read every single night before bed and sometimes stay up well after midnight reading because I can't put the book down...

Here is what Debbie Macomber's website says about 16 Lighthouse Road...

"When Cecilia Randall, and her naval officer husband, Ian, appear in Judge Olivia Lockhart's Cedar Cove family court, they expect the good judge to grant the divorce they seek. But Olivia senses the couple still love one another and just need time to work on their marriage in the wake of their infant daughter's death. So Olivia denies their petition and makes headlines in the Cedar Cove Chronicle, earning the divorced mother more than journalistic admiration from the paper's editor, Jack Griffin. Meanwhile, Olivia's daughter, Justine, must decide if she will marry an older man her mother insists is wrong for her, and Olivia's best friend, Grace Sherman, the local librarian, is frantic with the disappearance of her husband, Dan. Everyone in Cedar Cove is talking!"

I am so excited to finish this book and start the second book in the series... 204 Rosewood Lane!

Hello, looney bin, can you pick me up?

Today has been absolutely crazy at work. I have had stuff piled all over my desk since before 8:00 this morning! First I have a certain report that has to be finished and locked in by 10:00am. Well at 9:57am I was still working on said report! I just took over this report and I am still learning how to do it... I was almost to the point of tears because I didn't want to be late, but I got it locked in on time with less than a minute to spare!

It has been one thing after another all day, I get close to finishing one thing and someone else brings me something else to do! I mean, I like to stay busy but come on people give me a break, I am only one person!

I finally got enough things caught up to post a short update!

HH made a 100 on his test today!!! WOOHOO!!!!! I am so proud of him!

HH's sister, E, goes to the doctor this afternoon, in about 10 minutes actually and hopefully they will call and tell me that we will have a nephew today (or tomorrow, I'm not picky)!

My friends Winks' grandfather is going to be buried on Friday, so continue to keep them in your prayers.

I have joined a website called Paperback Swap. You can put your books that you have read on there and people can request them from you. The site is free to join but you have to pay for the postage to mail the book... when you mail the book and the person who requested it receives it you get a credit on your PBS account and you can request a book with that credit! If you are interested in joining the site please email me at i_love_you_to_pieces (at) yahoo (dot) com and I will email you a subscription email for you to join under me!!!

Anyways, that is all I have time for right now! Have a great evening and be sure to watch LOST tonight!
