I don’t know about you, but it’s been a long-g-g-g winter here in South Dakota and I can’t wait to soak up the great outdoors! I plan to
plant my garden and then set up a little hide-a-way complete with an outdoor reading area. In fact, spring is the perfect time to read
outdoors because the weather is just the right temperature—neither burning hot, or freezing cold.
So what do you say? Want to join me in your own personal quest for rest and relaxation in the great outdoors? Great! Here’s what you
need to do: find a spot in your yard that completely relaxes you. Then grab an ice cold glass of ice tea, your favorite lounge chair
(or blanket) and one of these great books…

I was first introduced to Hinck last summer. It’s amazing how she can crank out a book in record time and it be as good, if not
better, than the last book! Amy Johnson’s dreams come true when she wins a spot with the Minneapolis Symphony. But things turn from
dream world to reality when she discovers a plot to destroy the symphony for good. With just days from shutting its doors it’s up to Amy
to spoil the plot before she loses her coveted position in the symphony for good.

- Embrace Me
By Lisa Samson
www.lisasamson.typepad.com
Valentine has a disfiguration that prevents others from wanting to get close to her. Lonely, sad, and destined to be alone,
Valentine joins the Wayfaring Marvel and Oddities Show. Valentine’s been hiding behind her pain for so long that it’s hard for her to
imagine anyone loving her, wanting her, or needing her. That is until Augustine (complete with tattoos, dreadlocks, and secrets of his
own) steps into her life.
This is one of those books that will make you think twice about your values and beliefs. You may even find yourself on hands and knees
seeking forgiveness from the Almighty for your own past transgressions. But ultimately you’ll come to realize, even more than you do
now, how truly important it is to accept people for who they are on the inside and why its not so important how they look on the outside.
