Sunshine

Product Information

It doesn’t give examples from the Bible so if you are looking for that type of devotional it probably won’t be your type of book. It has verses but it talks about the authors lives. I was planning on writing another review tonight, about a serial killer thriller I finished a week ago, but then I watched ‘Sunshine’ [1973] and I cannot think of anything else.

Yes this book may not be for everyone it does have a target audience. For me it is what i needed and i can think of many people that can benefit from this book. I think my overall rating is more 3.5, rather than a pure 4 star because, well, as a non-religious person, all the talk about God was... hmm, imma say annoying, even though annoying is a big too strong of a word to describe how I felt. However, I don't have any other to describe my feelings about it, which is why I don't wanna go with rating 3/5 — because not enjoying it fully is a me thing, not a book thing. The book was good. The book was fun, light and extremely optimistic. I loved the last sections in every chapter "The Sunshine Mind way to [insert whatever the chapter was about]" because I feel like it gives cute daily "tasks" or journaling prompts on how to bring more of this positive, sunshine mind into your everyday life. I think it's a very cute concept. The foreword was written by Selena Gomez. Selena is a good friend to both authors Tanya and Raquelle. Both the foreword and the introductions to the authors really sets the tone of the book. Retirement should never be this hard! As the group works together to solve the puzzles, they begin to open up to each other about their past lives and what brought them to this retirement community which they hoped would be so relaxing it would solve all their previous worries! But the group, through their questioning of suspects, has put themselves in danger. Can they solve these crimes before one of them becomes the next victim? Why does it seem the police continually seem to look the other way?

Read the first chapter

I didn't want to know that the monster that lived under your bed when you were a kid not only really is there but used to have a few beers with your dad.

My mother, who would have loved to forbid these visits—when Mom goes off someone, she goes off comprehensively, and when she went off my dad she went off his entire family, excepting me, whom she equally passionately demanded to keep—didn't, but the result of her not-very-successfully restrained unease and disapproval made those trips out to the lake more of an adventure than they might otherwise have been, at least in the beginning.I think it's worth just being aware as a librarian or teacher, that death from cancer is a storyline within the book. It is dealt with sensitively, however, for some children this may be a triggering issue.

Thank you to bookish and the publisher for sending me this free copy of The Sunshine Mind. I was pleasantly surprised to get a hardcover, The book is so beautiful. Grandad Bobby said, “You’re a Nubian queen, my Sunshine. But be wary of beauty. You may have eyes that shine like diamonds and lips as red as So you have a baker who finds herself chained up in a room with a vampire and they escape their captors due to some spoilery magic stuff. Over the course of the book they awkwardly bond and perhaps even grow to have a romantic relationship at some point. I'm completely unsure about that last part because while she is apparently attracted to him at times, she describes him as ugly. Usually, if you're interested in someone romantically, you don't personally find them repulsive. Just saying. My favourite quote from Grandad says it all when it comes to knowing what you need in your life when choices cross your path. There was really just the problem that there was too much useless narrative in ratio to the action and suspense. Sunshine would start babbling about some inane facet of life that had NOTHING to do with the story and doesn't really add anything to it. Now, if this was world building for a future novel I could have forgiven it, but I have heard, rather mournfully, that there will be no more to this series and that makes me very annoyed. Like when I lost interest in my mint choc chip ice cream at one interval and my evil parents had it whisked away by an annoyed waitress (I'll have my revenge one day!)

About Sunshine

this is a crazy, but the one novel Sunshine really reminded me of was The Lord of the Rings particularly The Fellowship, the sense of ominous evil threatening, though without any clear plan of how it could be defeated. Or not so crazy, but also reminded me a bit of Barbara Hambly´s great ( horrific and creepy and sort of anti vampire fandom) Those who Hunt the Night, that vampires are *horror*.
