Serials and Scenarios ~ Gutteridge & McKays' Never the Bride
I'm suffering from too little time and too many good books syndrome.
Sigh. I've been reading my little brains out. (Wide open, insert snarky comment here.) But, I'm just not quick enough to get everything done in a timely manner.
So, thanks to friends, I can post info about Never the Bride stating that I will read and review it, but that pressure is off because Nora did read and review it and did a fine job of making me want to read it even more. Whew.
Rene Gutteridge has visited the Dregs before. So click away. I'll return to cyberspace with a review...soon.
Summary:
Jessie Stone has spent thirty-five years fantasizing about marriage proposals, wedding dresses, and falling in love. She’s been a bridesmaid eleven times, waved dozens of couples off to sunny honeymoons, and shopped in more department stores for half-price fondue pots than she cares to remember.
But shopping in the love-of-her-life department hasn't been quite as productive. The man she thought she would marry cheated on her. The crush she has on her best friend Blake is at very best…well, crushing. And speed dating has only churned out memorable horror stories.
So when God shows up one day, in the flesh, and becomes a walking, talking part of her life, Jessie is skeptical. What will it take to convince her that God has a better love story than one of the thousands she’s cooked up in her journals? Will she trust Him with her pen when it appears her dreams of being the bride are forever lost?
A romantic comedy with a spiritual twist, Never the Bride is what it means to lose control—and getting more than any woman could ever imagine.

Now I want to read that book.And...take care of your little brains Kelly. (Mumbling to self:Didn't know she had several- wished she would share):) EER
Yes, EER, I have multiple little brains. I believe that's how I can become so completely lost when attempting to get from point A to B, they rarely communicate. But it's a burden I'm willing to bear and share within reason, of course. Try being nice and we'll see what shakes out. Eh?
