#OUABC Once Upon A Book Club January 2017 selection • 3.5 Stars rounded to 4 on Goodreads

This novel follows Charity Baxter, a 31-year-old woman who inherits her grandparents‘ island estate on Florida‘s Gulf coast. Raised by a narcissistic single mother, Charity‘s only sense of a loving home comes from childhood summers spent with her grandparents. However, her fondest memories are marred by the death of her beloved grandmother. ⬇️

A story of unconventional family, formed because the conventional failed. Kindness prevails, and forgiveness reigns.

My son has his first football practice of the season, I cannot see him because I would rather be dry and read than get rained on. #jeepreading

My Kindle Voyage is in another room, after 2 days of classes I am too lazy to go get it. Kindle app reading it is.

I need to stop finding names I love in books, I am done having babies, and my husband will not be ok with more pets.

"Some of this flora is . . . well, things I‘ve never actually seen growing. Cut plants and flowers, sure, but these are from various tropical regions all over the world, all growing here in harmony."
Dalton's reaction to Charity's garden reminded me of how blown away I am by the beauty and diversity of San Francisco's trees, plants, and flowers. So much is there that before, I was only familiar with knowing as cut flowers. California is magic.

The mom sounds like such a bitch

I really enjoyed this book!

A lovely story about family and friendship with a bit of a feel of The Giving Tree mixed in. 4/5 Stars

This novel came on one of my book subscription, which I had accumulated 😳What I liked from this novel was the relationship between Charity and her grandfather.It reminded me my relationship with my grandmother.Happiness and sadness came to me.This is about family relations, family secrets, dependence ties.If you like hallmark type of novels with happy endings and some love magic, this is for you! There are some discrepancies made by the author3⭐️

Not terrible. I'll call this one a palate cleanser. I got it in a #OnceUponaBookClub subscription box. Not thrilled with the gifts this month, but I do like the concept of having something to open as I read.

Once Upon a Book Club has announced that their YA box will go on sale March 15 with a limited release. I am ridiculously excited about them starting a YA box! They do such a good job and this is my genre. Just take my money now ??

I'm sure I'll post again as the date gets closer because I love them so much and I want everyone to be as excited as I am ??

My husband and I are currently watching Supernatural on Netflix so we fit in a few episodes after the munchkin went to bed. But now it's bedtime for the adults and I'm ready to start my #LitsyPartyofOne and get some reading in. 🎉

my January http://onceuponabookclub.com partial unboxing. This book was so cute and just right for getting me through the bleak winter months and the "once upon a" treatment to any book is just magical.

Each book comes with wrapped gifts with page numbers and as you reach that page you open the gift that seems to have come straight from the story.

This came in my http://onceuponabookclub.com box I finished it in two days I enjoyed it so much. I loved the ups and downs of the family in it, and it felt just right to me. Once Upon choose the best books and I can recommend this one to everyone (also the gift treatment was ?) ?

Feb. box includes occupied Italy with a love story… they really shine with historical books and I have no doubt it's gonna be ?

This month's once upon a book club read. This book was really nice. I loved the main characters, and the magical elements of the island. I'd recommend this to anyone that enjoys books like Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen.

@onceuponabookclubbox is here and it looks amazing!!! The book (In the Light of the Garden) looks great and I can't wait to really get into it. I have to admit I was impatient and had read to pg 14 right away to see what the gift was... Oh. My. Gosh. It was worth it!!! Amazing! #onceuponabookclubbox #unboxing
