ABOUT MY BOOK REVIEWS

IF NO STARS, it means I know the author, so, on principle I do not review unless I absolutely adore the book--and I will tell you why.

ONE STAR means I didn't like the book.

FIVE STARS are rare . . .

BIO

“Tell me a story,” has been my question since birth.

Since I love them so much, what better way to share the fun and interesting things I've learned than in writing stories myself?

I'm a “retired” Navy wife who has lived all over the United States and even Hawai’i.

Raised in San Pedro, California, a melting pot of many languages and cultures, I've traveled the world meeting people and laughing my way through ridiculous circumstances.

I love history, music, books, reading, my terrific family, amusing friends, travel opportunit

I keep writing; even if it isn't very good, I keep typing in the words. You put in enough hours, something will turn up.

Or, I give it up and take a walk, read a book, spend time with my family. Sometimes you need to clear you head and let "the boys in the basement," do their magic. http://michelleule.com/2012/02/17/fin...(less)

The Advent Season Basics

Advent calendar

The Advent season is upon us. Here are some basics.

In my family, the concept of Advent is slightly different from that of Christmas.

It can be easy to forget the real reason for the season: the long-awaited Messiah’s arrival on planet earth.

Having a plan for Advent can shift the family’s focus from December’s busyness to focusing on Jesus’ birth.

I suffer from this problem every year.

But this year I

This one gave us a glimpse into the Russel-Holmes marriage in that they're affectionate in a surprising number of appropriate ways.

Likeable story about a writer whose work is made into a big deal movie.

Then she falls in love with the lead actor and things get complicated--big time.

Other than falling into an affair, sigh--so predictable-- this is a fun, wry, insightful look at a

This book didn't work for me. I spent the entire time reading trying to overlay the story with Pride and Prejudice--which I love.

Topics Mentioning This Author

Tony Horwitz
“There are people one knows and people one doesn't. One shouldn't cheapen the former by feigning intimacy with the latter.”
Tony Horwitz, Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War

Oswald Chambers
“God did not direct His call to Isaiah— Isaiah overheard God saying, ". . . who will go for Us?" The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.”
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Oswald Chambers
“If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His way— not in a human way that ignores God. ”
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Oswald Chambers
“God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome.”
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

Oswald Chambers
“Naturally, we are inclined to be so mathematical and calculating that we look upon uncertainty as a bad thing...Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sigh of sadness; it should rather be an expression of breathless expectation.”
Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, Updated Edition
