Book Review - House of Eire by June Gilliam

-
I have recently discovered a new site that I am becoming very active on and is allowing me to read some books that I might not have discovered otherwise. I am sure many of my readers are aware of it, but I just needed to share that I have now had my first book review posted and I am thankful for that. I am sharing the review here and I hope that many of you will take the time to read it.

The site is OnlineBookClub.org and my username there is Carolreads30. Here is my review.

I will tell you that I gave the book a 3 out of 4 stars because I felt that the story was a little hard to get interested in during the beginning, but overall, the entire book was excellent. A mystery combined with Irish history made for good reading. I will be looking to read more books by this same author.

Can you imagine how something that you believe in could lead to your death? Neither did Bridget in this story. Could Hillary imagine that her honeymoon vacation could lead to the death of her best friend, her mother in law and the possible death of her child? No, but do her dreams have something to do with any of these events?

I highly recommend you read my review and this book. Let me know if you have read the book.

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic. As a child and a teen, I loved the Boxcar Children series written by Gertrude Chandler Warner and could not wait to read this book again.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
