The Nanny Arrangement By Rachel Harris
The Nanny Arrangement was my introduction to Rachel Harris, and because of it I don't think it will be my last Rachel Harris book! The Nanny Arrangement was a great pick me up read, and I fell in love with Hannah and Deacon's best friends to lovers' relationship as they just an adorable dynamic between the two of them, and Deacon's toddler son, Max. Also I loved how, Hannah was able to become friends with Ella and Sherry as the women truly lookout for each other, and helped Hannah become more confident.
The Nanny Arrangement is a great summer read and definitely put me in the mood for the (soon to come?) warmer weather. Also while The Nanny Arrangement is actually the second book in Country Blues series but it's not necessary to have read the

    Before I watched "A Midwife's Tale", a movie created from the diary found by Laurel Ulrich chronicling the life of a woman named Martha Ballard, I thought the women in these times were just housewives and nothing else. I pictured them doing the cleaning and the cooking for their husbands and not being very smart because of the lack of education or them being unable to work. My view on the subject changed however when I watched this specific woman's life and her work.…

    Yellowcake

    I really enjoyed this book “Yellowcake” by Ann Cummins. The beginning was hard to get involved with but past the first few chapters I found myself wanting to know what happens next. She really described the characters well. My favorite was Sam because he reminded me of my own dad. He was a free spirited man with his own agenda. This book takes place here in the four corner region and I was born and raised here. Which had the effect of feeling involved with the characters and their families. Ann Cummins had Navajo culture introduced through the Atcitty family. Reading the book, Cummins had great descriptions of the surroundings. I spent a lot of time this past summer at Morgan lake, and I was excited to read the part when Becky and her friend where there too. I again felt as if I was there with them in the story. I felt the purpose of her story was to tell the daily struggle of life these two families had to encounter. For example, Ryland had a struggle with his sickness and how I affected him and his family. The constant worry if he was able to be a part of his owns daughter’s wedding or not. Becky’s struggle with the passing of her dad, Woody. She knew it was coming for a long time, but she couldn’t imagine a life without him. I believe she did a wonderful job in the details of her story, but upset with the ending. It kind of left me hanging in what was going to happen next.…

    Trying to defend something with a bad reputation is hard to support. Not the defending, but the support. That is what “In the Defense of Single Motherhood” by Katie Roiphe from The New York Times, published in 2011, tries to do. Roiphe’s point was to get people to get rid of the bad reputation of single mothers. Katie Roiphe makes a good claim, however her lack of focus, tone, failure to use of ethos, and her questionable statics makes her claim ineffective.…

    When considering novels aimed at children, one of the most common features which appears in many subgenres is that of the house. The house represents many things to the child reader and as such it can be portrayed in multiple ways. In some novels the house is a place of safety, where the child character’s family resides. In others the house can take on a darker tone and, particularly in children’s horror, it can fulfil a role that is much more common to that of the gothic novel. Two novels which explore different representations of the house are The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder, which presents the house in a much more traditional safe place and Coraline by Neil Gaiman, which presents…
