Being Thankful

 This year has given me a lot to be thankful for. I guess I can sum up how I feel be saying that I'm simply happy  and thankful I'm alive. Hope you all stay safe and enjoy your day. As always, feel free to comment below and tell me what you're thankful for.

Sariah Wilson

If you are looking for an Author who's work you could read aloud to your mother without both of you blushing, then look no further than Sariah Wilson. My mom and I have read several of her books. I know that, beyond a doubt, she is on my list of favorite Authors. Her work definitely falls under the category of Clean Romance. Below is her official bio:

Sariah Wilson has never jumped out of an airplane, has never climbed
Mount Everest, and is not a former CIA operative. She has, however, been
madly, passionately in love with her soul mate and is a fervent believer in
happily ever afters—which is why she writes romance. She grew up in
Southern California, graduated from Brigham Young University (go
Cougars!) with a semi-useless degree in history, and is the oldest of nine
(yes, nine) children. She currently lives with the aforementioned soul mate
and their four children in Utah, along with two cats named Pixel and Callie,
who do not get along. (The cats, not the children. Although the children
sometimes have their issues, too.)

To get an idea of what a few of her books are like, I will briefly describe one series and one standalone novel.

 # Lovestruck Series
Book 1: # Starstruck
The last thing Zoe Miller expected when she posted a tweet on Actor Chase Covington's Twitter page was for him to respond back. Nor did she expect their unexpected friendship to turn in to more. But what future can Zoe expect with some as famous as Chase Covington?

Book 2: # Moonstruck
Maisy Harrison, lead singer of her family's rock band, has a rule. Never date musicians. Like Ever. She's seen the pain that could cause first hand. Ryan De Luna, on the other hand, would love nothing better than for Maisy to give them a chance. But, is Ryan worth breaking her rules? Or will he just break her heart?

Book 3: #Awestruck
Ashton Bailey has hated Evan Dawson for ten very long years. When a chance to get payback falls into her lap, she jumps on it. What she didn't expect was that Evan has changed. He's not the boy who broke her heart and humiliated her in Highschool. Evan wants nothing more than her forgiveness but with Ashton's vengeance scheme in play, she might be the one to do the apologizing.

Roommaid
Madison Huntington used to be rich. The moment she decided that teaching was her life calling, her parents disinherited her. When her Aunt tells her about a man who needs a roommate who is willing to do the deep cleaning and watch his dog while he is away, she jumps at the chance. It helps that Tyler Roth is handsome. But, Tyler is strictly off limits and all he is willing to give is his friendship. What's a girl to do?

I do hope you get the time to check out one (or more) of Mrs. Wilson's works. As always, feel free to leave a message or comment below.

Cinderella Chef

 Okay, I'm gonna be honest and say that I never meant to get hooked. I was rambling about the internet, bored, when when this show popped up in my suggestion box. Thinking it would probably bore me (I haven't had a good binge in a while), I gave the first Episode a look. OMG, I was hooked! Below is the official synopsis:

Can history handle her hi-jinks? Ye Jia Yao (Zhong Dan Ni) is a modern-day chef who runs a mobile diner. A dejected young man comes in one day and asks her to cook his last meal before he commits suicide. It turns out that he is upset over the fact that his professor had stolen all of his data for a time machine that he built.

As the two get to talking, the young man decides to take Jia Yao to his lab to show her the time machine. But a series of events leads to Jia Yao being catapulted back to ancient times in the body of Lady Ye, who had been kidnapped by bandits of the Black Wind Fortress, led by the powerful Bai Chong Ye (Zhao Jian), a legendary FuYi Master.

Jia Yao meets Xia Chun Yu (Bie Thassapak Hsu), who is actually an undercover agent for the king. He had infiltrated the Black Wind Fortress bandits to investigate a plot to overthrow the king. Under the guise of a fake marriage, can Jia Yao help Chun Yu maintain peace in the kingdom?

This synopsis only touches a portion on the drama inside. I was so caught up in the drama that my Mom asked if she could see an episode too (just to see what had me so distracted), now we are both hooked. Below is a trailer:

 I hope you all can check out this C-Drama soon. I think you might like it. As always, feel free to leave a message or comment below.

Fairy Tale Time
