Blue and Thomas had the sweetest relationship as children!! I loved the way she did all she could to distract him from the disaster that his parents were and the way he would do anything for her. Even kiss a frog… Her propensity to write scripts for him to act […]
“I am the Good Shepherd. My sheep know my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” Having read this verse, Madysen was determined to teach her sheep to know her voice. This was just one of the parallels in Endless Mercy to Jesus, our shepherd. One that especially […]
I think I found this gem through a newsletter a month ago (according to the purchase date), but don’t actually recall how I found it. Regardless, it was free at the time and so I grabbed a copy and let it sit on my Kindle until last night when I […]
Have you ever put on a happy face even though you were torn apart inside? That is exactly what Mason did after his parents were killed in a car crash. Showing the world that all was well so they wouldn’t reject him. He carried so much grief where no one […]
At one of the companies I worked for, the guys loved to play practical jokes on each other. The one-upmanship was intense at times but always done in fun. I had never set out to partake in the fun – even after becoming a “victim” of their attention. One of […]
I can’t resist reading books by Karen Witemeyer, Regina Jennings, or Amanda Dykes so I snagged a copy of this book as soon as I saw it was available! And now, I have Nicole Deese to add to my list of must-read-authors! I think my favorite type of multi-author collection […]
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 […]
When I saw that Finding Wings was going to be released, I realized that I hadn’t yet read Chasing Dreams, the second book in the Chandler Sisters series. These stories build on each other, so I grabbed a copy of it and therefore today you get a bonus, two reviews […]
I have mixed feelings regarding stories about royalty. Partly out of a concern that they can make women discontented with their lot in life – that they aren’t likely to marry a prince. And largely because they often feel over-the-top. And yet, there is something so enjoyable imagining what it […]
I’m always on the lookout for new-to-me authors and especially new-to-me young adult authors. When I first saw Love & Olives by Jenna Evans Welch (releasing November 2020), I was intrigued. So I hurried to my library website to see if any of her other books were available. They were. […]
Reading the synopsis, I wondered how much like The Parent Trap The Secret Sisters Club would turn out to be. While the overall theme is the same, the story is very different, much to my relief. Of the two girls, I much preferred Tillie. She was more a gentle rule-follower […]
