Book Review - Glittering Promises by Lisa T. Bergren

I loved reading Lisa Tawn Bergren’s third book in her series called the Grand Tour Series. The series tells the story of a young lady and her recently discovered wealthy family as they go on the “grand tour” across Europe. Glittering Promises sums up the series as they come to the conclusion of their tour. As you are touring along with the family, you will wish you are really there!

I could not wait to read this book and after reading it, I was not disappointed. Lisa did a lovely job of wrapping up the series in Glittering Promises. I couldn't put the book down as the story completely held my attention. And there was even a few surprises at the end. I would highly recommend the whole series!

***Here is a link to purchase the book on Amazon. Also, the second book in the series is free on Kindle and other devices, so make sure you check it out! (I don't know how long that offer is good, so make sure you get it soon!)

I'm thankful for... Day 6 & 7

This past weekend, my family (including siblings, in-laws, nieces, and nephews) went camping. Our Fall camping trips are usually fun family times and there are almost always memories that are made. And this year was no exception! Starting out and even part of the trip, I was not very thrilled to be there. The forecast was about 100% chance of rain and it did rain almost all day Saturday and part of Sunday. So we were all very thankful yesterday when the sun came out! We even got to go riding (4-wheelers and dirt bikes)!

After the sun came out, we all felt so much better. I am also thankful for all the beautiful Fall colors.

Did your weekend turn out to be what you planned? What did you do this past weekend?

I'm thankful for... Day 5

So even though it rained almost all day today and we didn't get to do all we wanted to do, I will still find something to be grateful for! So today I'm thankful for being able to spend time with family. During this rainy day, I played with my nieces and nephews and also played cards with some of my siblings and in-laws. It may not have been time spent outside, but I think we were all able to have some fun family time anyway!

I'm thankful for... Day 4

Last night I was looking at the number of hits I have had on my blog and the numbers completely shocked me. Within a 24 hour period, I had close to 90 page view on my blog! And I also went over my total page views of 4,000. 

So today I am so thankful to God for all of you who are reading my blog. Sometimes I wonder if people are reading it and it still surprises me when people tell me they are reading it. I pray that in some way God will use my words to minister to each one of you. 

So to you, my faithful readers, thank you! 

I'm thankful for... Day 3

I'm thankful for the opportunity to teach at our local homeschool group. I'm teaching a manners class for K-4. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to give back to the co-op group that I was able to be a part of growing up. And I hope one day, when I have children, I'll be able to bring them to this same homeschool group! 

I'm thankful for... Day 2

Today I'm thankful for being able to meet and visit with Author Cynthia Ruchti yesterday. It was wonderful to be able to meet her right here in my small town. I had just recently finished reading When The Morning Glory Blooms by her and I loved the story. It was so inspiring and yet such a beautiful book! I would highly recommend it!
