Books to Read During the Month of September 2013

-
This month's selection is a bit eclectic.  We have some mysteries and a love story of sorts.  We also have a book that at first I wasn't too sure if I'd like since it has to do with government corruption.  Ahh, but I did keep an open mind for the first couple pages and found myself unable to put the book down.


Whiskey Sour by Jack Kilborn and J.A. Konrath

Suggestions on where to find books other than a book store include, wholesale clubs, thrift stores, library, amazon, garage sales, family, friends, and flea markets.

"Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue" Your wedding day is a reflection of you and the life you live.  You are intelligent and savvy.  You could take the easy road and buy everything but you want your day to be personal and one that you along with everyone else will remember. While you are creating a day that will be forever memorable, how about taking a trip down a local thrift store aisle.  Put on your DIY hat and see all the possibilities.  Thinking about things that will work during and after the wedding will save time, money, and waste.  What wedding decorations will also work in your home?  What wedding favors can also handle double duty as table decoration?
