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.
The Beautiful Pretender by Melanie Dickerson is the second book in the "Medieval Fairy Tale" series, the first of which was The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest. I really enjoyed the first book in this series, and I liked this one as well. The main characters...
"Denver and the Doolittle Raid" is the debut book by author Bo Burnette. It is a non-fiction yet easy read that is published by Tabbystone Press. I would recommend it to all audiences. The book outlines the life of Denver Truelove, a Georgia boy who joined...
"The Golden Braid" by Melanie Dickerson is the latest fairy tale retelling that is loosely connected to her other novels, but works as a stand-alone. I was excited for this plot, as I love Rapunzal, but I felt it this followed the Disney version "Tangled"...
"Among the Fair Magnolias" is a collection of four novellas set in the years following the Civil War, and is written by Tamera Alexander, Dorothy Love, Shelley Gray, and Elizabeth Musser. It is published by Thomas Nelson. I went into this collection only...
"Escape to Paradise Trilogy" by MaryLu Tyndall is a collection of three books, "Forsaken Dreams", "Elusive Hope", and "Abandoned Memories". This was published by Shiloh Run Press on May 1st, 2015. I've previously reviewed two out of three of these books,...
"A Worthy Pursuit" by Karen Witemeyer is a stand alone book and the latest release by the author through Bethany House. I have really enjoyed this author in the past because of her creative characters and plots with a setting of the wild west and her...
Whispers in the Reading Room by Shelley Gray is the third book in the "Chicago World's Fair Mystery" series. I have not read the other two books in this series but found that it works quite well as a stand-alone. In fact, this is my first book by this...
Love, Lexi By Sherry Kyle Published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. The book Love, Lexi by Sherry Kyle is a stand-alone devotional directed towards pre-teens and tweens. The book is written stylistically as the personal journal of Alexis (Lexi) Dawn...
Just a Kiss is the third book in the Summer Harbor series, written by Denise Hunter and published by Thomas Nelson. I have really enjoyed this series, and am sad to see it end. I was hoping that this would be the best book of the series, but for some...
She Walks in Power is the first book in a new medieval romance series called "Protectors of the Spear" by MaryLu Tyndall. I have been eagerly awaiting this new release and I am so pleased that it is finally here! Fans of Tyndall may worry that this isn't...
Uninvited is the latest release by Lysa Terkeurst. I've really enjoyed her past releases and have found them to be very relatable. This was no different. Uninvited discusses the power of rejection. With real-life anecdotes from the author and applicable...
"Bonhoeffer Student Edition" by Eric Metaxas was a wonderful introduction to the life and times of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in Germany during the beginnings of World War II. I have heard a lot of good about Bonhoeffer and was becoming interested in studying...
A Spy's Devotion by Melanie Dickerson is the first regency romance book by this author, as she usually does fairytale retellings. I've read many, many reviews saying that Melanie Dickerson makes the transition well from fairytale to regency, but I personally...
The Wonders of Creation coloring book is published by Zondervan. These intricate designs have become popular, bringing a coloring book trend to adults. I personally have several friends who enjoy coloring while listening to an audio version of the Bible...
A Daring Sacrifice by Jody Hedlund is the second book in the "An Uncertain Choice" series, but it works as a stand-alone. The series follows the adventures of the Duke's three best knights, first introduced in An Uncertain Choice, and this book specially...

Becoming a Woman of Excellence by Cynthia Heald was published 30 years ago, and now has been updated for a 30th year edition with extra commentary from the author after 30 years. It was a short book, a little over 100 pages, but it was packed. I really...
"Charity's Cross" by MaryLu Tyndall is the "fourth" book in the Charles Towne Belles series. This was a really fun read because I've read a lot of MaryLu Tyndall's books, and so I recognized characters from a lot of her other books. She combines the characters...
A Heart Most Certain by Melissa Jagears is in the Teaville Moral Society series and is published by Bethany House. I've enjoyed previous books by this author because of her sense of humor, so I was looking forward to this book. I have mixed reactions...
Undaunted Hope is the third book in the "Beacons of Hope" trilogy...except I saw recently that there will be a fourth book so it's not really a trilogy!! Eek! I'm so excited. So anyway, this is by Jody Hedlund and published by Bethany House. Each book...
"Calico Spy" by Margaret Brownley is the third book in the "Undercover Ladies" series. While I didn't enjoy the books of this series nearly as much as I did "Gunpowder Tea", this was still a good mystery. This can work as a stand alone novel, as really...
The Cowboy's Bride Collection is yet another novella collection by Barbour publishers. I liked this one better than the Love is Patient Romance Collection which I've previously reviewed. I find that it's kind of a hit-or-miss with novella collections,...
Kissed by a Cowboy by Debra Clopton is the third book in the "Four of Hearts Ranch Romance" series. It works as a stand alone, although it mentions the two brothers from previous books. I've read the second book in this series also, but thought both worked...
I, as I mentioned in one of my other posts, do enjoy reading novella collections. I really enjoyed the Lassoed By Marriage Collection that Barbour publishers put out earlier this year, and I loved watching the Love Comes Softly movies this summer, plus...
I have really enjoyed novella collections this fall because with school and life, I haven't had a whole lot of time to sit down and read a full novel. Plus, novellas are a great way to be introduced to new authors without committing to read a full novel...
