Future Glimpse (Book giveaway!)

I almost don't want to do this today, because I really want to give this book justice. And as you can tell from the last couple of posts I'm a little bit less than cheerful Annie at the moment. I do feel a tiny bit better after my meltdown last night, but I am finding it really hard to not be depressed today. In a big way.

But I am going to put on my happy face because I want to share with you something very exciting....

I know a real life author in real life! I met Melanie Nelson last summer, she is the sister of my sister's boyfriend and has an adorable little boy. We had fun hanging out with them. I already can't remember how it happened exactly, but when I found out she had just had her first book published, I hounded her until she would let me review it here on my blog....which she actually reads!

You all know I've toyed with wanting to write a book but this girl actually did it! And I can't wait to read her future books! I can honestly tell you guys that I was very impressed. When I first started reading I admit I was paying a little more attention to syntax and sentence structure and looking for typos.....but soon I got swept into the story and I just wanted to find out how it ended. Who wouldn't like a bit of a glimpse into their future? Unless it shows something they really don't want to see.....

And her Prologue definitely drew me in.....

"My name is Karen.

I am seventeen years old.

I have spent some time in what I believe was my seventh decade.

I'm twenty-two, and I'm married. I have at least five grandchildren, maybe more.

I used to be just seventeen, seventeen and a senior in High School.

I had a boyfriend named Chuck.

I never liked his name, but he doesn't matter anymore.

Now I have shifted. It's Ryan, not Chuck, who is in my future.

But my first Shift was when I was seventeen, a senior in High School, and had a boyfriend named Chuck."

Doesn't that just make you want to find out what this story is about? It was fun, too, because I saw little glimpses of Melanie in the story as well, even though I don't know her incredibly well. But I believe this book is a great read. And it helped me to be grateful for the people in my life.
