Today’s Top Ten Tuesday with the girls at The Broke and the Bookish has a motherhood theme, for obvious reasons. I don’t know about anyone else, but my Facebook feed over the weekend made it clear that Mother’s Day is a day of conflicting emotions for many. For many of us, it is a day of celebration—and at its core, motherhood is a precious gift that should be celebrated—but in this fallen world, it often brings pain as well.
It’s Top Ten Tuesday, and today’s topic from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is Ten Things on Our Reading Wishlist. My list today will be generally referring to things I’d like to see more of in Christian fiction, as that is where I pick up most of my books. Well, where to start? 😉
~ About the Book ~ No one stirred in the area—people stayed in their little hovels. Hiding, most likely. From the cold, the helplessness. Maybe from the Party. Staying out of sight, like cockroaches.

Welcome to First Line Friday! If you’ve been hanging around my blog at all this week you’ll know I’m super excited about the book I’ve chosen for today’s edition of First Line Friday. Jennifer Rodewald (under the pen name J. Rodes) has written a YA dystopian series, and today is release day for the first book in that series: The Uncloaked. It’s a riveting read, and you my review will be up very soon.

Hi there! Glad you could stop by, because I am looking forward to introducing you to my guest today, Jennifer Rodewald. Jen has a new book releasing this Friday (28 April) called The Uncloaked. It’s the first in a young adult dystopian series, which is a bit of a departure from the stories she has published so far, so I thought I would invite her over to the blog and chat with her about this new series.

~ About the Book ~ God takes broken things and makes them beautiful again. He reclaims our desolate places. Suzanna Wilton has had a heavy share of heartache in her twenty-seven years. Left wounded by a marriage cut short, she leaves city life to take up residency in a tiny Nebraska town. Her introduction to her neighbor Paul Rustin is a disaster. Assuming he’s as underhanded as the other local cowboys she’s already met, Suzanna greets him with sharp hostility.
Want to hear a funny story? I’ve been planning on mixing up my blog posts a bit this year, now that I’m settling into the book blogging community and discovering all the fun things that go on. One of the things I thought I would do this year is Top Ten Tuesday, masterminded by the […]
