A Few Books in a Few Weeks





Surprisingly, I have actually read a few books in the past few weeks. I think I can attribute it to reading during Lil Mama's activities. These three books were not my favorite books of all time, but they were entertaining. Out of the bunch, Sin No More was probably my favorite. This book is part of the series with the Curtis Black character. I have always felt Kimberla Lawson Roby was a great author, and I love reading her books.

Double Cross by James Patterson was pretty good, but I liked the book Cross better. There are still some thrilling moments though!

You Belong To Me was recommended by a friend of mine. It was a quick read with a little bit of romance and mystery. If you read it let me know if you figure out "who done it." LOL!!

I am currently reading Because of Grace by Kendra Norman-Bellamy. She is a christian author and I absolutely love her books. I had read the #1 and #3 already in this series, so I am backtracking to #2. I am sure this book will not disappoint, but I will share after I read it.

His Everlasting Mercy!

 1 Praise the LORD!
         
         Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
         For His mercy endures forever.
          (Psalm 106:1, New King James Version)

I am so very thankful for God's mercy. God is always there for us despite our sins. He is always worthy to be praised. There is one song that I listen to over and over, that I love to sing when worshipping and thanking God. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Great is Your Mercy by Donnie McClurkin


This song should help you get over the hump of Hump Day! Have a blessed rest of the week.

Hasbro's Lorifina

The Lorifina dolls were offered by Hasbro earlier this year, where you could design your own, by picking her skin color, hair, eye color and clothes. Lil Mama loved playing on the website and designing different dolls. I decided that this was a doll that we could "play" with together. So we each had to have one. Below are the dolls that were chosen.

Lorifina seems to have disappeared. The website is no longer there, and the accessories are no longer offered on Hasbro's website. I wonder what happened to these dolls. I thought it would be a popular item. Oh well....at least we got ours.

Back To School/Work Music Mondays

Well the results are in and Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" won as the best version. Thanks to everyone for voting!

Well this week I thought I would post a song from one of my favorite singers. It really hurt when I heard that he passed away. I actually got to see him in concert once. You definitely get your money's worth when seeing Luther Vandross in concert. It is hard to pick a favorite song of his because he had so many. So I've decided to post two. One of his older songs and one of his most recent. I am sure Luther will end up back on my "Back To School/Work Music Mondays," but here are the two for now.

So Amazing

Have a blessed week!
