Tower of Strength, by Annette Lyon is not the Mormon fiction from your youth. You will not feel the need to order a giant bottle of Sparkling Apple Cider to go along with your Cheese (Because we all know that Mormon's don't drink wine). It is far from the suck-tastic reputation that has besieged the genre of Mormon fiction.

I was pleasantly surprised with Annette's book. I was really worried that it was going follow the bad rap that is Mormon Fiction. It doesn't. It was a well written story with some LDS themes thrown in. She has just the right amount of romance, suspense, drama and mystery all cleverly woven together to make a masterpiece. I read this book with my teenager daughter, and found the experience to be delightful. My daughter said that typically romance novels leave her feeling bad about her life... but this one didn't. I completely agree with her.

The characters are real, and sympathetic. You will hate the Mother-in-law in the story and rejoice when the hero finally tells her to "stick it where the sun don't shine". OK, he does it in a much nicer 1880's type of a way, but you get the idea.

The main character, Tabitha, is a strong courageous woman. Honestly? The way the women in the 1880's were treated infuriated me. To hear men talk about women "needing only to knit something" made my head spin. It would have been difficult at best to be a strong woman in those days. Let alone a successful one.

I would, without reservation, recommend this book. Especially if you like to read with your daughters. This book is perfect for that... You will not worry one bit about something questionable popping up, as it is a wholesome, easy read.

Quite regularly, we get emails requesting that we advertise Giveaways, Swaps or Meet 'n Greets for people. While we would love to be able to do that, with the amount of blogs that we have listed here on the MMB, it's just not possible.

However, we decided to do a regular feature entitled Reader Shout-Outs. Where you, our readers, can link to us with the various events you have going on.

Just follow these easy instructions to list your Giveaway, Swap, or Meet n' Greet.

1. Enter your name, expiration date of event, and what the giveaway/swap item is.
2. Link directly to your blog post about your giveaway/swap (so we don't have to go fishing around).
3. Leave a comment. The funnier the better!

Each month we will delete out all of the expired events so that this list will always carry the most current, up to date events being hosted by fellow members of the MMB.

It was close, it was tough, it was a cat fight, but we've finally got ourselves a blog spotlight.

The public has spoken, and The Misplaced Americans is our winner! She is an American having an International experience, and reading about her daily experiences is WAY more exciting or exotic than a trip to the local Wal-mart. That's for sure. Her writing style is quick and refreshing. She uses humor to make a bad situation funny. Besides, when she shows photos like THESE, how can you not come back wanting more? Go check her out, she's a funny American having a "foreign" expierience. (I'm sort of jealous!)
