Women, Book Bargains & Previews and Family Tymes.
It's a name you can trust for quality information.
Welcome
to
Book Bargains & Previews!
Since they are fiction titles for college age young
adults, today's books are being previewed by my
twenty-something children Jenilee and TJ. As I
mentioned before, it used to be difficult to find good
reading material for older teens - college age, but
thankfully Christian publishers are seeing the need and
are producing some really great titles. Be sure to
check them out!
Happy Reading!

BOOK PREVIEW
 Consider
Lilly
by Anne Dayton and May Vanderbilt
$11.95
Lily Traywick thinks she must have been
adopted. It’s easier than believing she’s actually
related to Jane and Roland Traywick, her power-couple
parents who own Traywick’s of San Francisco, the most
chichi department store on the West Coast. While her
parents party with Muccia in Milan and Gabbana in Paris,
Lily hangs out at home in ratty jeans and an old
T-shirt. She loves softball, guys, and Jesus, and she’s
eager to make her own way in the world. Feeling that her
life is on hold, she turns to her best friend Reagan
Axness. Reagan, a fashionista who has it all, offers
just the solution: a major life makeover.
Lily is soon dressing in the latest must-have fashions
and pursuing a writing career. She’s even dating the
“perfect” guy. But does he love her for who she really
is? And will he be able to resist the tempting
seductress who has her eye on him? As Lily’s old friends
question her new way of life, and public scandal, family
drama, and technological disasters add to her confusion,
Lily is forced to consider whether her quest to have it
all will cause her to lose everything that matters.
Hot off their debut success, Emily Ever After,
“good-girl” chick-lit trailblazers Dayton and Vanderbilt
return with a witty, refreshingly real story of a young
woman’s adventures in the high-powered world of San
Francisco high fashion.

I just loved this book and really enjoy the writing of
these two authors. The best thing about Consider
Lily is that the story line was very realistic and
contemporary. While it does touch on issues of faith,
it doesn't give any unrealistic expectations...you don't
come away feeling like you don't measure up, but rather that
you can relate to the lives of the characters. It discusses
Christian dating as opposed to dating others of different
faiths and it gave me food for thought.
This book also touched on following your own dreams and
finding and pursuing your life's purpose, no matter what the
obstacles.
It was very easy reading and kept my attention; I didn't
want to put it down. I highly recommend this book for
college age women.

BOOK PREVIEWS
 Flabbergasted
By Ray Blackston
$12.99
Blackston gives a whole new
meaning to modern dating practices. Jay Jarvis, a
successful stock broker, decides that the best way to meet
eligible woman is to join a church singles group. The
ensuing misadventures are delightful as Jay meets quirky
people, including a Caddie-driving speed demon, an
insightful African-American janitor, and. . .the perfect
woman. The only problem is that she's a missionary in
Ecuador. As Jay becomes a much wiser man, Peterson
generously introduces us to a lively menagerie as he
recites poetry, delivers chat-up lines, and reads Bible
quotes from a surfboard. Old-fashioned charm is still to
be found in contemporary America.

Finally! A fiction book for guys in their twenties!
The author has a light style that makes an enjoyable read
and there is no illicit sex, bad words, racial slurs, or
crime. I really enjoyed this book.
