This book may be a bit too old for my daughter still (or maybe that's just my denial of her aging/my aging!) but it looks fabulous. <br /><br />Thanks for linking this post into the Kid Lit Blog Hop Cheryl and thanks so much for joining us as co-host! :DRenee C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07351071483275676742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581431813017394324.post-84410826520853970142012-12-07T20:43:15.254-07:002012-12-07T20:43:15.254-07:00Thanks so much for your comment, Shaunna! :) I ap...Thanks so much for your comment, Shaunna! :) I appreciate the kind words. Actually, that's often the way I write. I don't know if I'm strange or what, but it's not always easy to find exactly what I want to read. I think the nice thing about writing is that you get to be pickier. If you don't like what's available, you can always write your own! :)Alice Roelkehttp://roelke.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581431813017394324.post-80695206511406733962012-12-07T20:35:02.964-07:002012-12-07T20:35:02.964-07:00I think that's an incredibly healthy attitude,...I think that's an incredibly healthy attitude, Randy. I know it's true for me, as well. Often focusing on creating something, especially through writing, helps pull me out of a downward spiral of sadness.

Now, when I am writing and I do not think it is good enough for publication, I think, that's okay, it is helping me feel good about myself.Randy C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581431813017394324.post-82111846690209009422012-12-05T13:15:41.504-07:002012-12-05T13:15:41.504-07:00Personally, I'm relieved to read Christian boo...Personally, I'm relieved to read Christian books.
