http://reneespages.blogspot.com/2015/06/seven-days-of-hilderbrand-beautiful-day.html
Dream Write. Speak. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Seven Days of Hilderbrand: Beautiful Day. While I liked the basic premise of this novel- Jenna Carmichael's deceased mother leaves behind a notebook detailing all her advice for Jenna's wedding day- it didn't impact as much as I thought it would emotionally. I've read reviews where other readers said they thought the mother, Beth, came across as pretty manipulative in "the Notebook" and I can't say I disagree. You'll have to read Beautiful Day.

Dream Write. Speak. Monday, June 22, 2015. Seven Days of Hilderbrand: The Matchmaker. Even though it came out last summer, I only read The Matchmaker. A few months ago. As a self-proclaimed Elin Hilderbrand fan this is painful to admit, especially because I believe this to be one of her best works. And when I did finally download it to my Kindle, I finished it in two days and suffered from what I like to call a "book hangover" afterward. Im loving your Seven Days of Hilderbrand, Renee! So glad you are en...
