Goodbye, my dear friend

Good friend of mine you have finally been beat by cancer.
 You fought so hard for your baby girl, one thing is for sure Lil' Karen has the Best Guardian Angel there ever could be.👼

I may not have known you in person and that doesn't mean anything at all.
You were there for me when no one else was, when others left, when others didn't believe me, you did.
No one believed you when you said your head was hurting, if your mother would have listen to you they could have caught and treated it and you would be here still.
We had some great and funny moments and some scary ones to.
 I remember you telling me you were having a baby and she would be healthy, you went threw hell with your pregnancy, but you made it through.
You were my writing buddy, I even made you a character in my book.
I knew you for 4 years, you started calling me Lil' sis and I called you Big sis because we felt that close to each other,
I could talk to you about my health problems, I could tell you how I was feeling that day, and not feel judged,  you did the same.  
You were in So Much Pain and now You Are Not.   Which makes me feel so much better.   I will miss you so...

Thanks for being my friend, my writing buddy, my counselor, my Big sis, I will Never Ever Forget You!

R.I.P Becca, love you so much!💕

Viper Wine (A Novel) Review


I was very intrigued by this book at first because I love historical fiction. Viper Wine is set in the 1600’s yet is written with anachronistic verse.  It’s post-modern historical fiction. On top of that, the cover is so alluring, the book is beautiful!

When reading the novel, I noticed I got bored quickly. It was hard to focus on what was going on and the author jumps time periods a lot. Erye also includes several quotes throughout the book, which aren’t all relevant to the scene. Despite this, Hermione’s writing is elegant and kept me going through the book.

The plot is about Venetia Stanley and how she wants to chase her youth. She used to be the belle in the community, yet as she ages, she feels she has lost the only thing going good for her. She becomes obsessed with looking youthful, and seeks out viper wine.

The story is clearly backed up by a lot of research and it’s an interesting read, although not exactly a pleasure read. I’m sure there are people out there who would like this kind of book, but I wouldn’t recommend it. I was hoping for a good historical fiction read. ~Summer
