Thank you to Howard Books & Netgalley for the chance to read and review this novel! Are you all about Hallmark Christmas movies? If so, The White Christmas Inn is for you. Immediately, I was drawn to this book because two of my favorite Classic Christmas movie titles are joined together: White Christmas and Holiday Inn. This book doesn’t have…
Book Blogger Questionnaire
Hi everyone! It’s been so much fun to get this new blog up and running and I thank you all for being here with me. I’m eager to start reviewing books here and to begin writing a few other bits and bobs. 😉 Now for a fun bookish questionnaire to share a bit about my…
The Queen and the Cure – Review
“The Gifts we are given are not given for our benefit but for the benefit of mankind.” Was Amy speaking of herself with this quote? Seriously, the woman’s gift of writing is a benefit for mankind. Every time I read one of her books I am in complete awe of her writing abilities. She crafts…
Lilith – Review
Thank you to Netgalley and Willow Aster for allowing an ARC for review. If the title of this book doesn’t grab your attention, the story inside surely will. Whore (now titled Lilith) is one of the most beautiful renditions of an unconditional love story I have ever read. If you’re like me, the title might make you a tad…
I See London, I See France – Review
One of the best ways to travel, as a mother of three children, who cannot take a month off from life to backpack around Europe is to read books! I love picking up books set in Europe because it is one of my greatest dreams to travel the continent someday and soak in the rich history…
The Song of David – Review
I have a hard time writing reviews for Amy Harmon’s books. Not because I don’t love them, quite the contrary actually. I love everything she writes greatly, and I find myself struggling to find words I haven’t already said about all of her books. I read the first book in this series, The Law of Moses,…
The Fortunate Ones – Review
Thanks to R.S. Grey for allowing me to be one of The Fortunate Ones who was able to read this book in advance. I’m bowing down to the master of Rom-Com! When my favorite Texan Indie author is going to release a new novel, you better believe I’m all kinds of fidgety and jittery until…
Arrogant Devil – Review
R.S. Grey has done it again! I don’t know what I can say about her books that I haven’t already said about the last seven books I’ve reviewed of hers. The bottom line is, I haven’t met an R.S. Grey book I didn’t like, with most books boasting a strong five-star rating on Goodreads from…
To the Moon and Back – Review
Many thanks to Howard Books/Simon and Schuster for the chance to read and review this novel! I was absolutely delighted when Simon and Schuster contacted me about Karen Kingsbury’s upcoming release To the Moon and Back, part three in her much-loved Baxter series. Even before I was an avid reader I heard nothing but praise about…
The Masterpiece – Review
Thank you to Tyndale Publishing for their kindness in allowing me to read and review an advanced copy of The Masterpiece by Francine Rivers. Francine Rivers is a legend in Women’s Christian Fiction. Her book Redeeming Love is among my favorite reads of all-time. She has an exquisite way of writing unconditional love and making readers feel her…
The Beau & The Belle – Review
I don’t know how R.S. Grey manages to write hit after hit. She’s has nailed her niche and I doubt she could write a bad book. Her stories never fail to make me laugh out loud, read through the entire day or night, and fall in love along with her characters. While I’m reading, I…
The Smallest Part – Review
Many thanks to Amy Harmon for my very first ARC copy of one of her novels! Authors like Amy Harmon are the reason I read. Her beautiful heart bleeds onto the pages of every book she writes. After I finish reading each book I’m left in awe of her writing, the soul of her books,…
Baby Teeth – Review
Thank you so much to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for the chance to read and review Baby Teeth. So bad. So good. Let me tell you a little story, as a teenager I remember watching a documentary about a family with a schizophrenic daughter and being terrified! What if that happened to me when…
Before I Let Go – Review
Thank you to Netgalley and SourceFire books for the chance to read this novel. I’m only sorry I couldn’t leave a positive review. BLURB: Best friends Corey and Kyra were inseparable in their snow-covered town of Lost Creek, Alaska. When Corey moves away, she makes Kyra promise to stay strong during the long, dark winter,…
Good Luck With That – Review
After much insisting from several readers, I decided it was time to pick up my first Kristan Higgins book, and I’m so glad I did. I requested this book from the library months ago and put it on the backburner in my mind. Naturally, the library gods love to give us every book at one…
Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating – Review
Many thanks to BookSparks for the chance to read and review this novel! I have a bit of an unspoken rule — if I’m able to finish a book in a day with my crazy family and near-constant interruptions, the book is almost always going to receive a five-star rating from me. Josh and Hazel’s…
The Rain Watcher – Review
Many thanks to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for the chance to read and review this novel early. The Rain Watcher by Tatiana de Rosnay was one of my most anticipated reads for the end of 2018 due to my love of the author’s previous book, Sarah’s Key. Sarah’s Key is solely responsible for spurring my love of World…
To All the Boys I Loved Before – Book Review / Movie Comparison
One of the hardest things for me as a book blogger is reviewing an immensely popular novel because it feels like there is nothing new to be said. However, I have been asked by readers to give my thoughts on To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, a book I planned on taking the easy way…
A Love Letter From the Girls Who Feel Everything – Release Day & Review
Individually, these girls who feel everything give us all the feels with their incredible writing. Together, they are an unstoppable duo of encouragement and girl power! I’m not at all knowledgeable about poetry, but I enjoy reading it from time to time from specific authors. For me, this was exactly the type of poetry I…
