Feasted On: Just One Wish by Janette Rallison

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 342 KB | Release Date: March 2009 | Publisher: Putnam Juvenile Books

"Just One Wish" by Janette Rallison

My Book Summary : The ultimate fantasy ... you meet a movie/TV star and they fall in love with you right away ... that's what happens in this sweet, funny, and touching story.

Annika would do just about anything for her little brother Jeremy, more so now then ever since her family found out that he has cancer. Nothing is off limits to make him happy. So, when she rushes to Toys "R" Us with her best friend Madison during the day after Thanksgiving sale for a Teen Robin Hood action figure for Jeremy, since it's all he seems to talk about as of late, she thinks no problem. Even when it comes down to dealing with a wormy older guy who just happens to be hording all of the Robin Hood figurines, no big deal.

But when she makes up this story for Jeremy that she received three wishes from a genie a while back, she has two wishes left, and she would like to give those two wishes to him ... things don't go as planned. She told him that one of the wishes would be for him to come out of his upcoming surgery with flying colors and the other one could be for anything he wanted. Well she assumed he would ask for that specific figurine but instead Jeremy wishes to have Robin Hood meet him and teach him more about archery! Thankfully when Annika told Jeremy that some wishes take a while to fulfill he believed her. Now the problem is how in the world is she going to get Steve Raleigh, the actor who portrays Teen Robin Hood, to come and visit Jeremy before his surgery in a week?

And she'll stop at nothing to make this happen ...

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars!! This was a great book!!! I loved it! The characters were portrayed wonderfully! I loved the banter between Steve and Annika! And Oh My God the stuff she could come up with at the drop of a hat! My only wish was that it was longer!!

Book Teaser(s) :
I bent down to have a one-on-one with Herman.
"Look, just be a good snake for the day and then we'll take you back to the pet store, okay?" I took the lid off and tried to remember how the lady at the pet store had picked him up. Was it headfirst or by the middle? I reached in and lifted him out of the cage. He at once wrapped himself around my arm, which I hoped was not a sign he was trying to eat me. ~ within Chapter 6

Holidays on the Harbor ...

Elizabeth City's Downtown Business & Professionals Assn. is doing activities all this week for the holiday season and they're calling it Holidays on the Harbor. Part of that they are doing something called Find The GINGER BREAD MEN, where certain downtown businesses have a gingerbread man somewhere in their store and throughout the week locals and visitors can go around, try to find these gingerbread men, once they find them get their forms stamped ... then turn their forms in at Page After Page Bookstore ... then tomorrow (December 12th) at the Holidays on the Harbor event in Mariners Wharf park (click here for more info) they'll announce the winners for this along with other activities they're planning on having there. Anyway ... those same businesses (well most not all) are participating in a business holiday decorating contest (about 14 businesses). And I was asked to be one of the judges. So, today after work I went around and judged which storefront I liked the best. And I have taken photos of my top 3 ... plus some others ... but here are my top three:

#1 - My Winner - Selig's Jewelers


#2 - Firefly


#3 - Page After Page Bookstore

The official winners will be announced tomorrow ... but I just wanted to share! =0) I hope everyone's holiday shopping is going good. I have barely even started mine. =0/ I guess I should start this weekend. *hahaa*

I'm Sooooo Sorry!

Hey all ... I'm very sorry about not being around here that much ... it's like Summer hit and then I got rushed into everything else .. and this got placed onto the back burner. Meaning right now my main website is down. I don't plan or want to give this up. But I'm not sure really where I am going with it. =0/

So, I think it'll be down for a little while longer. I might still post pics or videos when I get the chance but for now ... I'm at a bit of a loss about what I want.

I am always looking for inspiration though so if you have any ideas or anything please comment and let me know. I'll just say .... I'm sorry again.

Have a great day everyone and I hope you'll all have a wonderful 4th of July tomorrow. =0)

Take care, Jess

Happy Easter Everyone!!!

Happy Easter!!

I hope everyone will have a wonderful Easter holiday today! In addition, I also hope that those who decided to buy a pet for their children for Easter will plan on taking care of them properly and love them to pieces. The reason I say that is because my best friend works at the Animal Refuge League in Westbrook, Maine so I see photos of all of the poor animals that get given up there, so I wish that if you loved them when you bought them you plan on loving them for a very long time afterward. =0)

Check out the recent Easter article about the bunnies at the ARL: hare care

Check out the recent Easter video from the ARL: Thinking Twice Before Buying 'Real' Easter...

Again ... Happy Easter Everyone! Enjoy the day with your family and friends!! Spring is in the air!

Loves, Jess

{Weekly Snapshot} 1-12-09

To the left is a shot of the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Elizabeth City, NC; that I took during my December E. City photo shoot.

-------

Things have been a little slow here for me, getting out of the holiday rush and now trying to find out where things are heading. As some may be aware my husband is in the USCG so that means we move around every few years. So, as of right now we are waiting to find out if we are going to be getting relocated or not this summer. But I will keep you updated as to what happens. However, if you have anything coming up this spring please keep me in mind since I won't be going anywhere until the middle of the summer, if at all. =0)

So, please let me know how I can best serve you.

Take care, Jess
