Cover: Love the cover.  It is such a summer look.

Hatteras Girl by Alice J. Wisler is a great "warm" read.  I read this book over the winter months, and it helped ease the winter blues.

Jackie Donovan is a Hatteras Girl at heart.  She loves her town, and it is her dream to own Bailey House, a bed and breakfast, with her best friend and roommate Minnie.  Jackie works for Lighthouse Views, as a business writer.  During one of her assignments she meets Davis Erickson, a realtor and owner of Bailey House.  She begins to fall in love with him, however Davis is not the gentleman he appears to be, causing Jackie to question her dream of owning the Bailey House.

A great read.  I would read other works by Wisler.

4 out of 5 stars.

Cover: Simplistic, yet beautiful.


Amy Gallagher, an aspiring writer, has been living on lists, yet hasn't been able to accomplish much in life.  She is constantly looking for the perfect words to use that she has neglected everything else in life.  When Amy takes a breather, she realizes her family and friends are constantly living life, growing and changing as they see fit, except her.


Amy begins to have internal conflict when she sees her eccentric roommate Zoe who also is a writer getting easily published in periodicals where Amy has been rejected.  Other internal conflicts for Amy includes seeing her mother finding love, her brother getting married, and not knowing who the mysterious Eli is (once he moved in with Amy and Zoe).   She also faces the conflict if she should just "break" her lists and take risks and live life.


Amy Inspired by Bethany Pierce was an enjoyable read.  I liked the fact that Amy could be someone you may personally know instead of some unrealistic person.  It is nice to read about what the "average" person is like.


I give Amy Inspired: 4 out of 5 stars.
