Firmoo.com and Firefly Island

Happy Monday everyone!!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I was extra busy with the Storybook Felts projects this weekend.  I hope to have a new set ready to go in the next couple of days. I have a few reviews I need to catch up on so I thought I would just squeeze them both in today.  I hope you guys don't mind.

The first one is for Glasses.  Yes, I said glasses.



There is a wonderful new online company named Firmoo.com that offers a great price for prescription and non-prescription glasses and sunglasses.  They offered me a chance to get a free pair of glasses, of my choice, and I jumped on it.  The pair I picked are semi-rimless and came in red.  I normally would not have picked red, but since they were free I thought I would give a new color a try. Here is a couple lovely pictures of me wearing the new glasses.

I really like the rimless look.  I think I will continue to get this kind from now on.  I think this pair was a little wide for my face but they look pretty good.  I don't normally  use a lens for closeup vision in my regular glasses.  Most of the time if I am reading or doing work closeup I just take my glasses off.  The only problem with this is I can't see the TV or computer screen without my glasses.  I decided it might be nice to have a little something for closeup in this pair.  They are more for reading or computer work.  They are great for sewing.  My eyes are not getting as tired now when I am working. Firmoo even gives you the option to try on your glasses before you buy them.  Simply take a picture of yourself closeup and then upload it on their site.  Then just try on any pair of glasses to get an idea of what they will look like on you.  The quality of the frames and lenses is wonderful. The prices are also very low. To get a prescription pair all you need is your current prescription to type in.  I just called my eye doctor to get mine.

My second review is on a book that I just finished reading.


Firefly Island by Lisa Wingate is her third book in the Moses Lake Series.  I have not read the first two yet, but hope to very soon.

From the back of the book...
Sometimes love takes you on an adventure completely off the map.  Mallory Hale's life quickly veers off course when she falls hopelessly in love.  After a whirlwind romance, Mallory finds herself leaving the bustle and action of Capitol Hill for the remote town of Moses Lake, Texas-with husband, stepson, and a U-Haul in tow.

A sweet, mishap-filled journey into marriage, motherhood and ranch living ensues, and Mallory is filled with both the wonderment of love and the insecurities of change.  But what she can't shake is the unease she feels around her husband's new boss, Jack West.  Jack's presence-and his mysterious past-set her one edge, and when hits of a scandal emerge, Mallory finds herself seeking answers...and comes to realize that the middle-of-nowhere home she wasn't sure she wanted is the very place she'll risk everything to save.

From the minute I started this book I could not put it down.  The deeper I read into it, the better it got.  There is a lot of mystery that goes on it this book.  Yes, it is a romance/love story, but it is also so much more.  There are so many interesting people in this book.  Some of them have a past that they want to keep hidden.  There are Docksiders' who hang out at the local cafe and the crazy lady, Cowgirl Al, who lives next door and raises goats.  You will also meet Keren and the summer school kids, most of whom are living in poverty in the Chinquapin Peaks area.  Mallory learns that she needs to put her old self behind and learns how to open up to these unique people that she is with on a daily basis.

Mallory has a hard time getting used to being a step-mom and not having a job.  Her sisters and friends from DC are all busy with their lives and don't have time to talk to her and answer emails all day.  Then her sister and her friends tell her she needs to  start writing all of her adventures down.  She thinks they are crazy.  After her friends set up a blog for her she decides one night that it might be a good idea to write some of it down after all.  Then her blog, The Frontier Woman, becomes a big hit, not only with her family and friends but with the world.  Then she finds herself in the middle of a mystery/controversy that could change a lot of lives.  Will she risk it all to protect the new friends that she has made?

I could go on and on about this book but you need to read it for yourself.  If you want to read the first chapter, just click on the image above and it will take you to the authors website.  You can read the first chapter of this book as well as some of the others that she has written.

I was given a copy of this book by Bethany House for review purposes.  All opinions in this review are mine.

Now that I have shared these goodies with you, feel free to share your links with me below.  I'm off to finish up this weeks Storybook Felts set.  Roar....

Two Book Reviews In One Day

Happy Monday.  I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. I have two book review for you today.
The first one is...Goodbye to Yesterday A Lancaster County Saga by Wanda E. Brunstetter.  It is part 1 of a 6 part saga.  This means that the story is broken down into 6 books which are released over a six month period.


Part 1 in The Discovery series.

Join Meredith and Luke Stoltzfus, an Amish couple who are faced with the greatest challenge of their young lives. Financial struggles. Arguments. A suspected pregnancy. A last-minute trip to Middlebury, Indiana. A deadly encounter at a Philadelphia bus station. Will their love and faith be enough to bring them back together again, against all odds?

From the back of the book...

When Luke Stolzfus loses his job at a furniture store in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, he is given an opportunity to learn a new trade from his uncle who lives in Indiana.  Despite his wife's reservations, Luke jumps at the chance and makes plans for a quick trip to Middlebury.  Along the way, Luke meets with tragedy, and life as he knew it will never be the same.  Despite all odds, will the faith and love Luke and Meredith share be enough to bring them back together again? Or will Meredith begin a new life with another?

Visit The Discovery Saga Facebook page here for more information.

I am a big fan of Christian Fiction and Christian Historical Fiction books.  I've read a few Amish books also, but not too many. Wanda E. Brunstetter is a wonderful author.  If you are fan of her other books, you know that she has done a lot  of research on the Amish culture and knows her stuff. I don't know if I am a big fan of the 6 book story line however. I was a little surprised at how small the book was for the price. The book started out a little slow, as some books that turn out to be really good do,  but did get better as it went on.  Then just as it was starting to get interesting, of course, it was over...Wait for the next book to come out.  UGH.  I guess they leave you hanging so you will go get that next book. And of course I will have to go get it so that I can find out what happens next.  

I was given this book for review purposes by Handlebar Publishing, I was asked to give my honest opinion of the book. All opinions in this review are my own.

The other book that I just finished is...

Love Finds You in Sundance, Wyoming by Miralee Ferrell

From the back of the book...

Angel Ramirez is tired of living a lie.  But can she live like a lady?  On the run from a dangerous outlaw, Angel makes her way across several states disguised as a boy and working as a varmint tracker and horse wrangler.  After taking a job on a Wyoming ranch owned by bachelor Travis Morgan and his widowed sister, she finally reveals her true identity and must fight to prove her worth as a ranch hand while somehow discovering her role as a woman.

I am a big fan of the Love Finds You books.  I have read about 75% or more of them, including another of Miralee's books...Love Finds You in Bridal Veil, Oregon.  The are all great and this one was no exception.  I tend to lean more towards the historical fiction books and this one did not disappoint me.  This book is set in 1887 Wyoming ranch territory.  Angel has been hiding the fact that she is a woman so that she can do what she loves and stay hidden from the man who is hunting for her.  When she is offered a job at a different ranch, she decides it is time to stop hiding and prove herself as a woman.  Angel has had a rough life and is a tomboy who has a VERY LARGE chip on her shoulder.  But, due to a few incidents and accidents that happen along the way, that chip disappears and she opens up and finds friends. 

My favorite part of these books is there is no foul language and no detailed "Love Scenes".  My 13 year old daughter loves to read the books that mom is reading, and I love the fact that I can share them with her and not have to worry about her reading something she should not be.  She started reading this one over the weekend and has not been able to put it down for very long.  She keeps coming and asking me what happens next. Of course I keep tell her to "read the book".  She moans and off she goes again to read.

You can visit Miralee's website for information on all of her other wonderful books.

I requested this book for review purposes from Christian Review of Books. All opinions are my own.
