This is just a blog I put together for myself. I am very pleased with the Over blog website. They make this process so easy.
Whoohoo! "The Lighthouse Thief" by Bo Burnette has recently been edited and shaped up with a new cover, and the author is promoting it by releasing it on Kindle for FREE this weekend, today through Saturday. Pick up your copy before it goes off sale!...
"Win or Lose, I Love You" by Lysa TerKeurst is new children's book released by Thomas Nelson publishers. Yes, this book's message is basically reflected by the title, making it rather pointless to describe the book in a review, but I did want to say that...
"Finding Viola" by Bo Burnette is a short story, only availiable on e-book, and is published by Tabbystone press. It can be found on amazon.com for Kindle. This is a really short story, only estimated at 17 pages, but it's certainly worth the price. "Finding...
"Hearts Made Whole" by Jody Hedlund is the second book in the "Beacons of Hope" series about women lighthouse keepers in the era following the Civil War. It keeps some of the same characters from the first book, using the brother of the heroine from book...
"Until the Dawn" is the latest book in a new series by Elizabeth Camden, published by Bethany House. There is a novella prequel to this story available also. I've always loved the works I've read by Camden, but lately her stories have gotten a little...
Go Big or Go Home by Scotty McCreery isn't exactly an autobiography. It's more like what you'd expect if you sat down and talked with Scotty over coffee and had someone type up everything he said. It's the story of his childhood, American Idol ride, faith,...
Live Free is an adult coloring book by Margaret Feinberg that is published by Bethany House. I really really like this coloring book because of its specifically targeted verses to meditate on Christ's love for us while we color. The verses are very powerful...
You're the One That I Want by Susan May Warren is the sixth and final book in the "Christiansen Family" series. I've followed this series off and on, reading blog posts about how much others love it. I personally have read the prequel novella, books two...
Mermaid Moon by Colleen Coble is the third book that I've read by this author, but is the second book in the "Sunset Cove". I have not read the first book in this series. Mallory Davis's father died suddenly, and Mallory travels to where he lived to try...
I received Confessions of X by Suzanne M. Wolfe from the Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Fiction Guild. Now I am familiar with the age-old adage to not judge a book by its cover, but I often do so anyway. This was one case where I did judge the book by its...
Backwards Beauty: How to feel ugly in 10 simple steps was written by Jessie Minassian. It was published in 2016 by NavPress in alliance with Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. I was elated to have the opportunity to read and review this book. I loved the...
The Wedding Chapel by Rachel Hauck is, from what I've been able to tell, a sequel of sorts to The Wedding Dress. I have not read the latter and this book worked as a stand-alone for me. I like Rachel Hauck's works because the are unique in the way that...
The Mountain Midwife by Laurie Alice Eakes is one of the first books I've read by this author, and, I believe, the first contemporary book by this author. I found the concept interesting: combining historical traditions of midwifes with modern-day medicinal...
Counted with the Stars is the debut novel Connilyn Cossette and is the first book in the "Out of Egypt" series, which is published by Bethany House. I was hesitant to give this a try because I haven't been a huge, huge fan of biblical fiction, but this...
To Have and to Hold is a collection of three novellas in the "Year of Weddings" series, this being the autumn addition. The first, "Love Takes the Cake: A September Wedding Story", is by Betsy St. Amant, the second, "The Perfect Arrangement: An October...
At Love's Bidding by Regina Jennings is the second book in the Ozark Mountain Romance series. It works as a stand-alone, though I have read book one in the series. Miranda Wimplegate helps around her family's auction house, which has recently accidentally...
Unashamed by Christine Caine caught my eye as soon as I saw it in a newsletter I received from the publisher. I have listened to several of Ms. Caine's messages online, and I have consistently been blessed, encouraged, strengthened, and challenged in...
Remember to Forget by Ashley Royer is published by Thomas Nelson. As a reviewer, being the same age as the author, I say kudos to her and her success. While I could tell that she wasn't as "polished", if you will, as professional writers, I thought that...
I enjoyed the NKJV FaithGirlz Bible because it is very tween/teen friendly and has notes and stories in it that correspond with the verses around it. Certain verses are also recognized and labeled “Treasure This”, to suggest memorization and application...
So I applied to this Fiction Guild, for which I got denied access. Then I get a package in the mail from the Guild, saying "Here's your first Guild project!" or something to that effect, and I of course was fairly miffed, since I was rejected and then...
"Counting on a Cowboy" by Debra Clopton is the second book in the "A Four of Hearts Ranch Romance" but the first book that I've read by this author. I didn't find the story hard to follow whatsoever, even though I haven't read the first book in the series,...
"Love in the Details" is the November addition to the "Year of Weddings" novella series, which can be read in any order, and is the first novella by Becky Wade. I was very excited for more of Mrs. Wade's writings while waiting for the fourth book in the...
From This Moment is the latest stand alone novel by Elizabeth Camden. It's published by Bethany House and was a fascinating read. Elizabeth Camden is one of my favorite authors because I can tell that she puts a lot of research and time into her novels,...
The “NIV Bible for Teen Girls” was published in 2015, by Zondervan. I love to read the Bible. So when I had the opportunity to review one for teen girls, I jumped at the chance. On the one hand, this Bible contains informative character biographies of...
No Other Will Do is a stand alone novel by Karen Witemeyer, and is published by Bethany House. As usual, this novel is set in the American West in the 1800s, but the characters had their own unique passions. Emma Chandler grew up with her two eccentric,...
