Dogwood by Chris Fabry

This book was really great! I have read some other reviews done on the book and not everyone loved it but I sure did. It is about two teenagers named Karin and Will who in one night change the course of their entire lives and not for the better; sending Will to federal prison and Karin to a life of quite isolation and desolation.

After 12 years in prison Will is released back into the world and out of all the places he can go to start over and begin again all he can think of is his hometown of Dogwood and the love of his life Karin. Unfortunately Dogwood doesn't want him and Karin is married with children. The people of dogwood want to see their prodigal son Will strung up from a tree and Karin is drowning in her life and incapable of seeing beyond her own pain.

This is a story of pain and redemption it will leave you with chills when you realize nothing is as it seems.

For the Love of reading

There are few things in this world that provide the level of comfort that a good book does. They are able to transport you anywhere at anytime. Whether it is a romantic interlude with Mr.Darcy, a civil rights march , a play reading with four sisters by the name of March or even what a day in the life of a dog is like a good book can show you a whole new world.

The problem is, is that there are so many life changing, earth moving, tear jerking, wonderful, amazing books out there and so little time. In a world full of obligation it is hard to carve out the time it takes to curl up with a book, a blanket and a hot cup of coffee/tea. My perfect day would consist of a stormy day, a pumpkin latte and a beautiful book cuddled up on a cozy couch. I can not think of one day like that I have ever had but I am pretty confident that if that were to ever happen it would be complete perfection. 

With so little time and so many books I find it to be most efficient to read books that will make you laugh, cry and fall in love all at once. Whether it is a good no thinking, beach read which is not just fun but absolutely necessary or a thought provoking, view changing novel; I'm no book snob a good read is a good read. This is my pursuit of finding books that are everything I just described and more.

 I am forever in love with being in love. I love my fiancee, I love my friends, I love my family, I love music, and I love a good book so in the pursuit  amazing  literature here is a blog to fill you in on what I have read, what I loved, what I hated and everything in between. Take it for whatever you may (or may not) think its worth. And please Leave any and all suggestions because I am always interested in finding my next favorite book!

Happy Reading!!!!!!
