In memory of Cpl Derek Wyatt

My reading journey starts tomorrow, with books I have decided to read upside down.

Some old, some new, some funny, some serious, some with passion, some with a purpose.

I hope some of them you will buy or lend from the library to  help you on your journey in life.....a couple are very close to my heart and have helped me through bad times.

If you can recommend any please do so as I still have some letters still needing to be filled.

I am doing this in memory of Cpl Derek Wyatt

 Cpl Derek Wyatt was killed 6th December in the service of his country.

On the 7th December his wife had his son

In 24 hours she was a widow and a mother. This child is fatherless.

We have all lost people we love we can only imagine her loss and joy!

mixed emotions but mostly grief and loss.

If you have pledged money THANK YOU !!!

My just giving site will be sorted ASAP

Help for Heroes need our help even more now with cut backs throughout government departments.

Our soldiers are being forgotten

On some Cenotaph it states "Less we Forget"

please don't ............

A Blessing In Disguise

So I have chosen my 1st book to kick off my upside down  A-Z reading for 2011

A Blessing In Disguise by Eleanora E Tate

Find out about the Author HERE

A Blessing in Disguise

Zambia Brown yearns to live in the fast lane. She craves fast cars, fly clothes, and her drug-dealing father. So what if her neighbors don't want his nightclub and its wild patrons on her block?

 She's one of those little hardheaded wannabe fly girls who deep down inside wants to do the right thing. Some say she has a smart mouth, but Zambia believes she has to say what she feels. Sometimes her dark side gets the best of her.She's one of those little hardheaded wannabe fly girls who deep down inside wants to do the right thing.

She has to learn the hard way that you can't always get what you want, unless you want to pay the price.

My name is Stella I am an avid reader .....my way.... upside down. Iam trying to raise money to help soldiers and their families get the help they need ....it may be help to pay bills or get treatment they otherwise may wait a long time for....the only way I thought I could help raise money is my art of reading books .....since I was 11 years old I have read books upside down (the book not me)

I want to read 26 books as quick as I can, I will start from A through to Z (titles that is) ....may read some I have read before others will be new and a journey still to be walked with new authors....I will start 1st January 2011 and this blog will record all books with synopsis along the way.

Why do I want to do this... a new friend bought to my attention on facebook that a solider died in Afghanistan 6th December 2010 Cpl Derek Wyatt next day his wife gave birth to his son ....his wife in just a short while became a widow and a mother .....the baby boy is now fatherless ....they both need our help in what every way we can and if reading books is my way, so be it
