They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!!!

This photo reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘The Birds’. Hitchcock got the idea for the movie when dying and disoriented seabirds rammed themselves into homes across California’s Monterey Bay in the summer of 1961. These avian incidents sparked Hitchcock’s interest, along with a story about spooky bird behavior by British writer Daphne du Maurier.

‘The Birds’ is a famous novelette by Daphne du Maurier. It is the story of Nat Hocken and his wife and children, as a massive number of birds begin attacking them. It is thought that the author had been inspired by watching a man ploughing his field, while some seagulls were wheeling and diving above him.

The long-standing mystery about the cause of the strange bird behavior across California’s Monterey Bay has been solved. According to ocean environmentalist…

The Big Black Trunk by Mary Rice Somerville
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eleanor L Niedeck The Big Black Trunk. What would you do if the Lord was coming? What would you do if forced to become one nation under one government? What if money was worthless and a computer chip had to inserted in the hand or head of every man, woman and child or starve without it?
What horrifying events to suddenly find yourself faced with all at once. This story follows one family faced with the end times and the decisions they chose. The times of tribulation are endless. Will Christ come? Or is this family just another set of kooks who will be proven wrong when nothing happens?
This book is very well written and once started, difficult to put down. The author tells it in such an insightful and humbling way it gives the reader pause to truly stop and think about what you would do if it were not only you, but your children as well. Would your faith be strong or falter? I recommend this for every Christian and every apolitical reader in general. It raises serious question and food for thought.Renee Robinson [[ASIN:1492844470 Misty Serenade: Wings (The Rise of Dragon Rose) (Volume 1)]] Series 1

When Mountains Move by Julie Cantrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Julie Cantrell, When Mountains Move. A beautiful story with the right touch of romance, mystery and drama. Millie is a lovely character which at first glance, appears to be meek and gentle. Upon further reading, it becomes clear there is much more substance to her. Though she lacks confidence in herself, she is incredibly strong. She has lived through difficult times. Where most would follow down the path they've always known, Millie manages to overcome, seek and find a better life. Something she knew existed, but never had.With time and experience, like a fine wine, an author continues to improve. I will be happy to watch this author as I know it is difficult to improve perfection.
