This Tuesday: BREAKING NEWS and a New Review!

I have good news, great news, really great news and a book review for you today.

Let's start with the good news first! The blog has been up and running for about three weeks now and we've broken into the 400's for views.

If you think that is exciting, how about the great news? These views come not only from the U.S. but the blog has also been viewed in Russia and Germany. We've gone international my friends!

If you weren't excited yet, I have another gem of excitement for this Tuesday evening - the really great news.  The first book was loaned out of the Library today and a happy reader is currently reading the loaned book for FREE! Booksharing was one of my main goals and it is happening as we speak!

Thank you for all the support while getting this blog up and running. Your continued cooperation is what is going to keep this blog going! Don't forget to send in your share-able books so they can be added to the Library. Also, don't be shy - send in a book review, or two, or ten!

One more exciting tidbit for the evening and then you can go back to your reading (or other things)! I've just finished reading Trailing: A Memoir by Kristin Louise Duncombe. Kristin walks you through what it's like to be married to a doctor who works in third world countries. She recounts tales of war, extreme fear, loneliness, depression, and poverty from Kenya and Uganda. Her memoir is full of really high highs and low lows, making it a gripping emotional roller coaster. The book shows the harsh reality of disease, poverty and the importance of hard working and dedicated medical personnel all over the world.  While only delving slightly into the politics of international aid programs and funding, the book paints a dual sided picture of war torn Africa and the toll that living a life working for aid organizations can have on the family and personal relationships. The memoir is beautifully written and a quick heart wrenching read. Currently, it is only $2.99 on Amazon, or FREE in the Library for the first lucky reader to email asking for it!    

Happy Reading!
