Ahhhh... the ocean. After a week of body surfing, swimming and splashing in the ocean, I'm semi-sad to be back home. But only semi. See, I'm not a beach girl. I truly despise the sand, and sun with a burn is not my friend.
But I love the water. Especially, the emerald coast. Add a good book to that and I'm enjoying a taste of heaven.
During this year's beach trip, I did something I've never done before... Here's a picture to illustrate.
Unfortunately, the reason I've never enjoyed reading a great book on the beach is because I'm usually catching waves and splashing around with my family. Or I'm making sure said waves don't drown my children or nefarious sharks attack and drag my kids away.
I'm happy to report none of the negative, over-active imaginations happened.
I did however finish two books on our vacation and start a third. I finished Death, Deceit and some Smooth Jazz while staying up waaayyy to late. Always do with Claudia Mair Burney's books. She's just that good. I'd highly recommend dancing with some smooth Jazz and cheering Bell on as she slides into sleuthing one more time.
The second book I finished is Sharon Hinck's The Restorer's Journey. Another amazing story told with beautiful and thought-provoking skill. I laughed, cried and worshipped the One as I read this third book in the Sword of Lyric series.
Here's a blurb about The Restorer's Journey:
Back in our world with her teenage son, Jake, in tow, suburban mom Susan Mitchell is ready for life as usual. But when a foreign threat invades their comfortable home, Susan and Jake soon find themselves drawn back through the portal to the world of the People of the Verses. Now she will struggle to love a people who have become her captors, while Jake suffers a tragic betrayal and discovers his destiny as the next Restorer.
Filled with adventure, warmth, and humorous asides, the Sword of Lyric series offers readers an exciting reading experience unlike any other.
So there's two more books to add to your summer reading list~ both receive my HIGHEST recommendations!
And coming this week and next... two giveaways not to be missed. I'll be sharing my thoughts on Skid and Fatal Deduction along with the chance to win copies of both.
Happy Summer Reading!!!

Restorer's Journey is amazing, isn't it?! Nice pic :)
Thanks, Rel! I so wanted David to do a little photographic reconstruction, but alas, he insists I don't need it. ;-)
The Restorer books are my absolute favorite books, so it's fun to share the excitement with another reader. Good taste and great minds, right? ;-)
