Fantastically Fierce Fiction

If you can hang in there through the slow beginning and all the flashbacks, this science fiction book is worth reading. This book has it all: mystery, suspense, love, loss, and a huge plot twist. Some plot twists you can see coming as I did this one, but I did not see the full extent of this one. I merely saw the tip of the iceberg so to speak. At first I thought I would not recommend this book to anyone because of the slow beginning and difficulty understanding who the main character is. For example, throughout the story, there are flashbacks to the Immersion Virtual Reality, IVR, creators which was confusing at first, but then I realized they have a separate story line preceding the main story line of the ones in IVR. After all, they created the school in which the others now attend. Hopefully knowing this tidbit ahead of time help you all. Within the school, it is difficult to know who the main character is because he has amnesia. I like to be able to paint a picture of who my main character is such as personality traits and physical features, but it was difficult to…

You all know from my last post that I have been working two jobs. I am not sure, however, if I clarified that I was working two jobs in one day. That’s right. I was getting off from my main job at the hospital then clocking into my next job not even 30 minutes later. Recently, I left that secondary job in favor of another secondary job at another hospital nearby. So yes, I’m technically still working two jobs, but I’ll only be working one job in a day. This will save a lot of stress and fatigue on my body and mind. However, that being said, “the COVID” has recently hit my small little town hard causing unforeseen schedule changes. What that meant for me was switching between night and day shifts for a brief period of time which caused a lot of sleep schedule changes and overtime in a short period of time. Thankfully, I like working nights so I had no problem taking the shifts. Furthermore, I like overtime. Lastly, I’m thankful I still have my health and a job! As far as the Summer reading program at my local library went…well I’m sure you can image…

Hold on to your seat and tissues because Lynette’s autobiography is powerful and moving. During this book, I have cried from sorrow and also from laughter. The amount of trials and suffering Lynette and her whole family have gone through is of biblical proportions. A weaker woman or family would not have been able to weather these storms. However, with God, the Johnsons and Granny and Pappy found all things were possible through His strength. I say family because although this is Lynette’s testimony, many of the trials she had to overcome were keenly felt by her family. In turn, the trials for the family equally affected, Lynette. Whenever the strength of one was waning, another would be there to remind them to place trust in Him and His plan. Lynette is hard headed, witty, and a little devious at times which makes her an amazing woman in my book. Reading some of her childhood and touring stories had my back aching and eyes pouring from laughing so hard. I would love to hear more of her stories like those! More than her testimony here, I think her personality and huge heart for all she meets speaks volumes for who…
