I was straightening my bookshelves downstairs, and found four books that are headed out the door...
2x4 Furniture; Simple, Inexpensive and Great-Looking Projects You Can Make
Reader's Digest Home Improvements Manual
Time Life Books - The BIG Book of Flower Gardening
Time Life Books - Pick the Right Plant
In this day of internet information, none of these books is crucial to our family. I'll donate them to the library... and free up a little space for some of those piles of books that haven't quite found room on the bookshelf yet.

Whiter Than Snow (Sandra Dallas)
Why I have this book: Being a Sandra Dallas fan, I bought it when I saw it at Costco one day.
Okay... so... I don't know. Maybe my Sandra Dallas fanhood is starting to fade. I liked this book... I like how she wrote it, I liked the point she was making. I liked learning about all the different characters and thought she did a great job developing the story.
It's just that... why does it seem like a recurring theme (this book and the SD book I reviewed just previously) that these young women sleep with a guy who makes them think they love them and then they don't and the gal has to figure out how to marry someone else so she won't be labeled or something?
It just seemed too familiar to the book I just read.
And one storyline in here was really bothersome to me.
Sooooo, I don't know. It wasn't an uplifting story, although there it was definitely a story of redemption. (I stole that description from the back of the book... but it fits.)
I will probably donate it to the library.
Some swearing, one character is a prostitute, there are some disturbing elements here and there. Again, premarital sex (not really descriptive).
