Finding Evergreen (Jennifer Rodewald) – Review

~ About the Book ~ He thought he’d found the thrill of his life; she, the romance she’d hadn’t dared to hope for. Falling in love had been easy. Being married? Totally different story.  Married within a year of meeting, Ethan and Brandi add a foster daughter to their newly established family. Their story is enchanting—inspiring. Except when the fairytale fails. The stresses of unmet expectations and wounds from their pasts knife into their marriage, severing what they believed would be forever. Hope for a broken marriage. Healing for their wounded spirits. It would take both to find evergreen. Are

Top Ten Tuesday – Favourite Book Quotes

Happy Tuesday to you all! This week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl has result in several hours of getting lost in some of my favourite reads, because we’re discussing favourite book quotes.

It’s a tough life, hey? 😉 But I’ve managed to rein myself in just in time. This is by no means a definitive list, and

Happy Tuesday, book lovers! Are you a re-reader? I am, although I confess I don’t have as much time for re-reading as I would like to. There are so many great books releasing all the time it’s hard enough to keep up with them, let alone re-reading my favourites as well. Nevertheless, there are some books that I have re-read numerous times, and there are others that I know I would re-read numerous times if I had more hours in my day.

The Cupcake Dilemma (Jennifer Rodewald) – Review

  ~ About the Book ~ My name is Kirstin Hill. I’m a simple girl trying to figure out life in a small town. There are a few things you should know about me before we begin. I grew up in the city. I’m a teacher, a first-year teacher (some of you understand that significance). And finally, when it comes to cooking, I’m a disaster. Maybe none of those things seem story worthy, but trust me—I have a story. I call it The Cupcake Dilemma, and it literally changed my life. How? I’m glad you asked. It all started with an
