Melody Carlson<\/a><\/h2>\n

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Melody Carlson is the best-selling author of more than 100 books for adults, children, and teens, including three of her latest, These Boots Weren’t Made For Walking<\/a>, A Mile In My Flip-Flops<\/a>, and Mixed Bags<\/a>. She and her husband, the parents of two grown sons, make their home near the Cascade Mountains in Central Oregon. Melody is a full-time writer as well as an avid gardener, biker, skier, and hiker.<\/p>\n

Favorite Bible verse: John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” It\u2019s the \u201cwhosoever\u201d part that gets me. That\u2019s who I write for \u2013 \u201cwhosoever\u201d and to me that means everyone and anyone.<\/p>\n

Carlson, author of more than 100 books, begins her 86 Bloomberg Place series with I Heart Bloomberg<\/a> that functions mostly to set up future storylines. Three women rent rooms at 86Bloomberg Place:<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Kendall’s managed to wrangle her grandmother’s house-free and clear-except for the rules. No male roommates. But that’s ok, with the right ad she’ll pull in some girls, their rent and if she’s lucky, she won’t have to go to work any time soon.<\/p>\n

For their part, Anna, Lelani, and Megan all have their reasons for wanting to move in: Anna has got to get out from under her overprotective parents; Lelani can’t take another day in her aunt’s tiny crackerbox house overflowing with toddlers and Megan needs a place free of her current roommate from Hades.<\/p>\n

Though they come with assorted extra baggage filled with broken hearts and dreams, they will discover they also have a vast array of hidden strengths. And they struggle to become the women they want to be, they’ll find new hope and maybe even Kendall will learn a thing or two about life, love and the true meaning of friendship.<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/h3>\n

I Heart Bloomberg<\/a> is an enjoyable, easy read, perfect for a lazy summer day in the hammock, at the beach, or at poolside. The first book in a new series, I Heart Bloomberg<\/a> sets the foundation for future installments. In this book, the reader gets to know a little about each of the four young women who come together as roommates in Kendall’s house at 86 Bloomberg Place. Each of the young women bring something different to the table. It is interesting to see how their personalities, strengths, and weaknesses affect the new relationships they are forming with their new house mates as they discover new truths about themselves. I Heart Bloomberg<\/a> illustrates the effect caring and forgiveness can have on others. It will be interesting to follow the series to learn more about these characters as they interact and grow spiritually.
