Title Love

Ever hear a book title and swoon? BEFORE even reading the book? Some titles are magic. I admit, I'm intrigued first by a title, then a cover, THEN the blurb. Nothing's worse than a great title or cover only to find out the book disappoints you. ( Let's remember that the book might be somebody's favorite - and that's OK! )

Some titles that delivered for me:

DAMAGE by Josephine Hart    

This title says it all. Relationships that destroy and the ramifications thereof. LOVED this book.

TWILIGHT by Stephenie Meyer

Ambiguous. Curious. Why did you pick up this book?

 INEXCUSABLE by Mark Lynch 

I love any book that says it like it is, i.e. DAMAGE listed above, making promises the author keeps.

SEXY by Joyce Carol Oates.

The story of a high school boy who doesn't understand the sexual power he exudes over others, including unlikely adults in his life.

These are just a sampling of my favorites----a few that caught my eye and WHY they caught my eye.

Share your favorite titled books. I'd like to know what they are and why they make you buzz.

A Special Treat to Share

Many of you know that HEAVENLY is based on my family and our challenges dealing with our daughter who has autism.

Along our journey with autism and learning to cope, we've met some real guardian angels, fantastic helpers who've come to our rescue and provided much needed help and relief from from the draining effects of living with a handicapped child.

One of them is "Abria's" current teacher at school. Her name is Tricia Lund and she's doing miraculous things for the children in our daughter's class. A local college made this short video about what's happening, how the children are growing and changing and I wanted to share it with you.

See if you can pick out "Abria" - she's in there! But she's kind of camera shy.

This time of year I am reminded of what I have to be grateful for. We're so blessed to have this wonderful teacher working with our angel daughter.
