Welcome to the weekend, book lovers! Are you ready to discover a new author with me? This week I’m introducing you to historical fiction author April W. Gardner, whose Creek Country Saga had me absolutely spellbound. (I’ve reviewed the first two books, The Red Feather and The Sacred Writings on my blog.) If you’re a fan…
Hello, book lovers. It’s time for another Fast Five Review Roundup!
Welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books! Do you enjoy reading novels about Native Americans? If so, you need to discover April Gardner’s Creek Country Saga! I read the first in this series at the end of last year, and I was hooked! (You can read my review here.) Book number five in the series, Love the War Woman, released last week, so I’m going to share the first line with you today.
Welcome to the Weekend Book Buzz! I hope you’ve had a chance to stick your head in a good book this weekend. Our family went to the cricket in Sydney this weekend—a two hour drive each way from where we live—but it certainly didn’t stop some of us from getting some reading done. And I’m not just talking about myself! This is my youngest reading at the cricket. It seems she’s taken at least one piece of her mother’s wisdom to heart: Never go anywhere without a book! I didn’t even know she’d brought one with her, but apparently she
Happy New Year, reader friends! Welcome to the first part of my Best of 2017 series, which I’ve affectionately called ‘The Emoji Files’. When I sat down to try and do my ‘Best of 2017’ post, I ended in a completely bookish mess. I read 200 books in 2017, and since I’m pretty good at picking books I really enjoy, it gets difficult to narrow it down to a list of 10, or even 20. Then there’s the fact that I’m a pretty eclectic reader within the Christian fiction genre. I enjoy different books for different reasons, so it’s kind
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, book lovers! This week’s topic from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is ‘New-to-me Authors I Read in 2017’. Folks, I found some FANTASTIC new-to-me authors in 2017, and they are all—without exception—on my ‘must read’ list now. Who are these writers, you ask? Allow me to introduce you! Karen Barnett I was part of Karen Barnett’s launch team for The Road to Paradise in June 2017, which have me my first taste of Karen’s writing. The setting came to life, particularly the trek up Mount Rainier at the end of the book, and
~ About the Book ~ On a moonless night in 1813, Adela McGirth encounters a set of wolves and the steely eyed warrior who slays them, searing himself on her heart. When he returns, it’s with a brand of a different sort–the flaming arrow that destroys her life. In the copper-haired captive, Totka Lawe finds the other half of his spirit. He vows he would die ten deaths to protect her, and he would kill any who tried to steal her away. With bluecoat soldiers pursuing him, a jealous cousin pursuing her, and the woman herself pursuing home, that vow
Merry Christmas! Since this is the final Top Ten Tuesday post before Christmas, I thought I’d get in early. 😊 We’re going with a Christmas theme today, too, thanks to the girls at The Broke and the Bookish: Top Ten Books I Hope Santa Brings. Whenever someone asks me what I’d like for Christmas, I usually um… and ah… and then eventually come up with ‘An Amazon gift card never goes astray’. The trouble then, though, is the agonizing decision over which of the approximately 5,397 books on my TBR I will purchase with said gift card—mostly because, once I have my gift
