The Sacrafice-Beverly Lewis

Hello once again!
I have finished 'The Sacrifice'! A very astounding read!
I was blown away at the thrill of this book!
Ok, some things to think about!
  • Why did Ida choose Leah to raise her children?
I believe Leah had always been her trusted child, even though, if you remember, she is her niece!
  • Smithy Gid, yes or no?
YES! Now that Jonas had been gone for a long while, I think Smithy Gid was a perfect match for them!
  • WHAT?! Hannah and Smithy Gid!? NO WAY! I dont think so! :(
I for one was VERY dispointed that Hannah married Gid. What about you?
Why do you think Lewis chose that path?
  • HAAH! I TOLD you that Jonas didn't marry Sadie!
Were you as surprised that Sadie said she married a Harvey instead of Jonas? I knew it was never to be true, and the whole book I had my heart set on Jonas NOT marrying Sadie. And I was right!
  • Did you feel bad for Sadie just birthing stillborns?
Eh...Yeah, but I'm still mad at Sadie so I am not to speak :)
  • Are you still mad at Sadie for what she did, throwing away Leah's letters?
I'm sorry. This may seem harsh and heartless, but yes, I still am and I don't think she should even have come back! She was stupid in the first place to go with Derry, not to mention get pregnant! THEN she stole Jonas, which they 'just dated' (bologna!) and then let him leave! And she never told him the truth. I for one think she's a terrible character.
  • What do you think will become of the next book?
'The Prodigal' is going to be exciting! I can't wait!

Check back here for more reviews of other books, and I will be soon posting about 'The Prodigal'!

Over and Out!

The Betrayal by Beverly Lewis

Hello!
I just finished 'The Betrayal', and I can hardly pull my chin back up.
It was so riveting, that right there when I finished it in the nail salon, I snatched up 'The Sacrafice' and started devouring that as well!
So good to me is our library. I'm sure I'm their biggest customer so to speak. (I as well have the most fines..oops!)
I could scarcely put 'The Betrayal' down after I started it. It was so exciting, but so sad as well.
I will say a few spoiler things in here so be aware :)
1. At the very end, I really started to dislike Sadie. So much.

2. I solely believe that Jonas Mast is made for Leah. And no, I don't think he married Sadie, though I could be wrong..Dear I hope I'm not!

3. After all that had happened, yes, I like Gid Peachey, no, he's not supposed to be Leah's husband.

Some things to look for in the next book;
  •  Did Sadie's baby live? In all of 'The Betrayal', it never goes to Dr. Schwartz view again, so it's quite vauge as to what happens.
  • Mary Ruth works at the Nolts place, they have a new adopted baby, could it be?
Just some questions to ask yourself about 'The Betrayal';
  • Do you think Sadie is to blame for the outcome of the ending of this book? Why?
  • What about Smithy Gid, you like him don't you? Is he good enough for Leah to wed?
  • Is Jonas Mast mature enough to marry Leah?
  • By reading the end of this book, do you think Sadie and Jonas married?
Leave your answers in the comment box below!


So all in all I can't read fast enough! I'm flying through these books, but when I come to the end...

I need to read my other books that I got at the library, but nothing can hold my attention so good as these!

Abrams Daughters Bk1, The Covenant-Beverly Lewis

Another wonderful book! I really liked this one.
Leah was a beautiful character, Lewis showed her beauty, strength and heart very well in this book.
Her blossoming from the tomboy she used to be into the young woman she is now was depicted very well. Leah loves one, but is loved by two, now what to do? You almost feel bad for the boy who loves her without saying anything.
Personally, I'm still at a loss for who I liked better, Smithy Gid or Jonas Mast.
Ach! It's so confusing! :)
The only bad part I could pick out of this was the beginning. I almost didn't read this one because the first five chapters still felt like an intro. Maybe it was. She described everything in very minute details, which at times was annoying, but once you get into the heart of the story, ya can't put it down!!
I always enjoy Lewis' way of incorporating the Pennsylvania dutch into it as well, such as wonderful-gut, ferhoodled, and so on. I know I've certainly picked up using these words since I read her books.
I'm looking forward to the next book in the Abrams Daughters series, The Betrayal, which you most certainly will be hearing a review from that one as well :)
I haven't finished my other books, "The golden filly" series because I couldn't put down The Covenant. Should I feel bad about that? I'm uncertain at this point.
Either way, comment below and lemme know!

Over and out!

The Choice-Suzanne Woods Fisher

Carrie Weaver is a young Amish woman with high hopes for love. Her hopes are stamped to bits when Solomon Rhiel, the only man she's ever really loved, leaves. So what to do? Lots of heart wrenching, pain staking decisions are wrapped up in this book.
Fisher shows amazing devotion to family as well. Carrie is devoted to her husband, father, brother and sister.
She finds friends in remarkable people, and makes enemies in some not-so-remarkable people.
This is all in all a wonderful-gut book and I can't wait to read Fishers second book, The Waiting. Which I will promptly put a hold on. It's currently at our library "in process". i.e, taking way too long to put on three stickers, two stamps and send it up the the first floor. Nevertheless, I will wait patiently, twiddling my thumbs, or instead, I'll read another book. Say, "The Covenant", by Beverly Lewis? Sure...

Have fun reading this book and another review soon!
