Best of 2017 – The Emoji Files, Part I: The Swoony Awards
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

Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Want For Christmas
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

Top Ten Tuesday – Book Boyfriends
Well! This is quite possibly the most difficult Top Ten Tuesday post I have ever had to put together, because the topic for this week from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is Top Ten Book Boyfriends. Now, I’m a happily married, strictly monogamous woman, but I’m sure you can all relate to having developed a little crush on (okay, maybe flat-out swooned over) characters you’ve met in books. Today is all about those characters! But there’s just one problem. Do you know how many books I’ve read in my lifetime? (Seriously, because I think it would be kind

~About the Book ~ You were not saved for this… They tore the veil. Now the country is ripping apart. The captive Uncloaked have been freed, and the people now know the dark truth.

Happy Friday all! I am firmly in the grip of my First Line Friday selection this week: Charging the Darkness, which is the final book in the dystopian trilogy The Uncloaked by Jennifer Rodewald (writing as J. Rodes).

Character Spotlight: Braxton Luther & Hannah Knight from Tearing the Veil (J. Rodes)
Folks, the second book in J. Rodes’ The Uncloaked Trilogy is here, and it’s just as compelling as the first! Today, I’m going to introduce you to the two main characters in Tearing the Veil. If you’ve already read The Uncloaked, you’ll be familiar with Braxton, but in Tearing the Veil, Hannah Knight (Eliza’s younger sister) also takes a leading part.

Tearing the Veil (J. Rodes) – Review
~ About the Book ~ Braxton Luther, the sellout. Now a part of the Den, he’s determined to make good on Eliza Knight’s faith in him—to be more than what he’d settled for when the Party had taken over. But his goal is dangerous, and not just for him. As he searches for a way to protect the silent, invisible victims of the new government, Braxton’s mission—which includes finding a way to rescue Eliza from the Reformation Camp—becomes even more complicated. Hannah Knight, Eliza’s sister, is simply too much like him.
