About the book:A fun vacation game turns destructive, exposing dark secrets, deeply buried grudges, and a shocking betrayal in Nicola Moriarity’s intriguing debut.Four friends…Joni, Deb, Eden, and Trina have been best friends since high school, sharing a bond that has seen them through their teenage years and into adulthood. But now, time and circumstance is starting to pull them apart as careers, husbands, and babies get in the way. As their yearly vacation becomes less of a priority—at least for three of the women—how can Joni find a way to draw the four of them back together?Four secrets…During a laughter and wine-filled night, the women dare one another to write anonymous letters, spilling their deepest, darkest secrets. But the fun game turns devastating, exposing cracks in their lives and the friendships they share. Each letter is a dark confession revealing shocking information. A troubled marriage? A substance abuse problem? A secret pregnancy? A heartbreaking diagnosis?Five letters…Late on one of their last nights together, after the other three have gone to bed, Joni notices something in the fireplace—a burnt, crumpled, nearly destroyed, sheet of paper that holds the most shattering revelation of all. It is a fifth letter—a hate-filled rant that exposes a vicious, deeply hidden grudge that has festered for decades. But who wrote it? Which one of them has seethed with resentment all these years? What should Joni do?Best friends are supposed to keep your darkest secrets. But the revelations Joni, Deb, Eden and Trina have shared will ripple through their lives with unforeseen consequences…and things will never be the same. ——————————————–About the author:Nicola lives in Sydney’s north west with her husband and two small (but remarkably strong willed) daughters. In between various career changes, becoming a mum and studying at Macquarie University, she began to write. Now, she can’t seem to stop.——————————————–Thanks to Lauren Truskowski and HarperCollins for the opportunity to spotlight this book.  You can connect with Nicola on her website, Twitter or Facebook.

Looking outside…it’s warming up at a balmy 39. We were supposed to get 1-3 inches Thursday and Friday and we got none. Thank goodness. Now things are actually melting a bit and you can see bare road on our street. Listening…to The Doctor on a call. The clock ticking. The fish filter running.Loving…that The Boy has a job. Full-time for the semester until he goes back to school.Thinking…that I am not going to rant today. I’m done with political things this week. Get along. Listen to each other. Be kind. Do good. Love is a verb.In my kitchen…Not sure what’s on the menu for tonight. Hot chocolate at the moment.Wearing…denim skirt, pink turtleneck, gray cardigan, gray socks and shoes.Hoping…that the sun peeks out today.Reading…Finished Leonard: My Fifty-Year Friendship with a Remarkable Man by William Shatner. Review goes up Wednesday. Really liked it.Today…went to an early morning temple session with The Doctor. Some household chores and catch-up for the remainder. Sometimes a quiet day at home is nice. The Artist helped my sister move some furniture.Quoting…”True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island…to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.” — Baltasar GracianFeeling…So tired of the gray, but we’ve had moments of sunshine this week. We’ve had time together with each other and our boys. It’s been a good week.Gratitude…for kind, generous people. The Doctor and I had a fantastic Sunday last week. You can read about it here on Facebook. We made new friends. Had a wonderful experience flying to McCall for lunch. Good times, good people, good conversation. Thank you Ryan and Nelya.From my world… So grateful for new friends and new experiences. What about you? What are you reflecting on this week? How has your week gone?©Holly B. of 2 Kids and Tired Books 2007-2014 All rights reserved.

Ponder: to consider something deeply and thoroughly; meditate Пятница (PYAHT-nee-tsuh): Friday in Russian——————-We have several computers and at least one laptop in our home but, more often than not, I end up using my tablet. The Doctor had wanted to get me a tablet so I could use it for ebooks. But, I prefer print books, so I resisted for a long time.I finally gave in and I love it. I’m on my second one. I have a wireless keyboard I can use so it’s convenient to type blog posts and reviews. The Doctor likes to tease me for how much I actually use it. I don’t play lots of games, but I have a word find game I enjoy and I’ve been known to play Angry Birds. I have banking apps and I love my Albertson’s app for shopping. I also have the Kindle app and I have a ton of ebooks on here. It is convenient for reading and travel.I like sitting at the kitchen table and blogging or reviewing. I’m where the family is and The Doctor can do his patient work in the office.My tablet was sitting on the table a week or so ago and The Doctor and the boys wanted to look up something, so they used it. They proceeded to inform me that I had 89 tabs open. Yes, 89. They were shocked and I was instructed that my tablet was slow because I had so many tabs open.My first reaction was to tell them that those 89 tabs were a great example of what my brain is like. I have way too many tabs open in my brain. I know I’m probably not the only person, man or woman, to be that way.I think the tabs analogy is perfect. It really does describe how thoughts can be. Our minds are swirling with thoughts and ideas and worries. We are bombarded with information at every turn and our brains try to process it all. There are tabs opening and closing all the time. Some tabs remain open indefinitely. Others close without our actually having learned something or resolved anything.With a computer or a tablet, having too many browser tags open can slow down processing. People are the same way. Too many tabs open, too much worry and information, can slow us down. We get hyper focused and caught in information loops. Our mind browsers lock up and just like a computer needs a restart, so do we.How do we do that? How do we restart and refresh our mind browsers? I wish I had answers for you. I wish I had the secret. I have a lot of suggestions though that, while trivial, do hold merit.I do know that sleep is good. Sleep is the perfect example of a computer restart in humans. Finding ways and taking the time to relax is good. Even 5 or 10 minutes with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, sitting quietly can help. The Doctor likes meditation. Exercise works for some people: a workout or just a walk. Reading a book, taking the time to do something creative or something active can help.Are your browser tabs tasks you can complete or delegate? Then do so and close them. Are your tabs something you can act on? Then do so and close them or bookmark them (make a physical note) and then close them.Most importantly, be aware. Be aware that your mind is swirling and why.I sat down this week and sorted and closed most of those 89 browser tabs. At this very moment, I currently have 27 tabs open. Still too many, but better than 89. Ten of those will close within the hour, because they are articles or posts that I will schedule to share on my Facebook page and Twitter. That leaves 17, a much more manageable number than 89.Now when he sees me on my tablet, The Artist asks, “How many tabs do you have open, Mom?”I want to reply, “On my tablet or in my brain?”©Holly B. of 2 Kids and Tired Books 2007-2014 All rights reserved.

Na drutach – szafirowy sweterek. Nie tak dawno był jeszcze zielony morski, ale idzie do prucia. W pomysłach – kolejna czapka (zaczęłam od pompona, reszta jeszcze nie wymyślona do końca).Na sweterku ma być taki wzorek na rękawach. Reszta chyba gładko.W ostatnim czasie powstało kilka rzeczy – czekają na zdjęcia, ale pogoda kiepska. Pewnie dopiero w sobotę w ciągu dnia coś porobię.Czytelniczo – Olga Rudnicka “Diabli nadali”. Książkę czyta się lekko i szybko. Niby morderstwo, ale nie zbytnio brutalne. Po książkach Remigiusza Mroza potrzebowałam lekkiej odskoczni. Powieści obyczajowe odpadają…. muszę mieć odpowiedni nastrój….Zresztą “Autorkę” Marii Ulatowskiej i Jacka Skowrońskiego też mi się czytało dobrze. Niestety ostatnio mało czytam. Jakoś nie mam weny do tego. Chorujemy rodzinnie od jakiegoś czasu….

I will freely admit that I judge books by their covers. The cover is usually what first captures my attention when browsing Goodreads or Netgalley. Actually, in all honesty, it isn’t just usually, it’s pretty much all the time. The cover determines if I look at the synopsis and reviews.This cover just spoke to me. Perhaps it’s because of all the attention that refugees are getting this last week. Perhaps it’s two young boys, likely from somewhere in the Middle East, or perhaps India. Are they friends? Are they brothers? They are barefoot and a bit ragged. What are their circumstances? Where are their parents? The Mom in me just wants to reach out and draw them in.What about you? Any book covers capture your attention this week?Cover Crush is a weekly series that originated with Erin at Flashlight Commentary. If you want to check out some other terrific bloggers and what their Cover Crush posts look like, you can do that here: The Maiden’s Court, Flashlight Commentary, A Bookaholic Swede, Layered Pages, indieBRAG, A Literary Vacation.©Holly B. of 2 Kids and Tired Books 2007-2014 All rights reserved.
