, after all, you are here to find books to read, not books to avoid, right?
Just between you and me, I can’t read many books dealing with the Holocaust. Or read them often. Reading about that terrible time in history tears me up inside! A few years ago, I came across The Melody of the Soul by Liz Tolsma and was so intrigued by the […]
Everywhere to Hide was unusual because of the details that weren’t shared. Whitney’s face blindness rendered her unable to “map” faces and therefore she had no way of recognizing anyone’s face. It also meant that as she related her story, she didn’t describe anyone by their facial features or by […]
Set on protecting the land, the animals, and her inn, the feisty innkeeper, Kate, wasn’t afraid to do whatever it took. I admired her strength and ingenuity, and especially her determination. She knew the land surrounding her so well and was a better fit to help Will and his regiment […]
I’ve been reading all the books in the True Blue K-9 Unit: Brooklyn series in preparation for the release of Dana Mentink’s Cold Case Pursuit, knowing that each one builds on the previous one as the K-9 team hunts down the killer in a cold case. They have been releasing […]
Emma dealt with the grief over her mother’s death. Riley searched for peace. Emma’s spunk was delightful! When her new employer grossly insulted her, she refused to kowtow and just quit! I loved the way she stood up for herself and for what was right and good! When Emma met […]
Blending heartwarming friendship, romance, and overcoming grief, Suddenly Forever binds three neighbors into a family as they each grieve the loss of loved ones. It was so well written and the descriptions of the beautiful North Carolina Blue Ridge mountains in October were so vivid I almost felt the chill […]
What a powerful story of redemption! When Shane’s world fell apart, he thought God had turned His back on him and he, therefore, stopped having anything to do with God. Yet in His patient, loving manner, the Good Shepherd didn’t let His sheep stray too far from the fold before […]
Six years ago, I read my first Jenny B. Jones book – the first in the A Katie Parker Production series. I still remember telling a coworker about it while we were on a break – she and I both became avid fans of Jenny B. Jones, Katie Parker, and […]
Dear Tessa Afshar, Thank you for your amazing story, Pearl in the Sand. While I have read many Biblical fiction stories, including a number of yours, few have touched my heart in the way this one has. Rahab’s story is one that I have pondered occasionally, yet never in much […]
Faith and fiction is a great way to describe Kimberly Rose Johnson’s stories, whether they are romance, cozy mystery, or suspense. Or, what I have officially dubbed today as “Sweet Suspense” to distinguish it from the kind that is more edge-of-your-seat. I enjoyed reading more about Frank in Certain Threat. […]
Motivated by the fear of hunger and need, Jocelyn wasn’t exactly living her dream. She was content, however, or at least thought she was until she discovered what life outside of San Diego looked like… I had a lot of fun reading this! Jocelyn was so cute, the way she […]
Oh, my heart!! Now that I’m finished reading Pieces of Granite, the tears that I had successfully kept at bay have broken loose and are trickling down my face. I knew that this would be a difficult book just from reading the synopsis and yet I still had to read […]
