I'm getting more selective in the books I choose to review. This one wasn't my usual choice, but something about it drew me to accept the review invitation. I'm glad I did. Tidewater Bride is a wonderful story that kept me captivated to the end. Tidewater Bride doesn't follow the typical romance formula. There's no…
Today is the perfect day to curl up on the couch with a good book, and if you're looking for a book to read, have I got a recommendation for you! The Love Note by Joanna Davidson Politano released this week. It's a historic novel set in 1860's England. It's a love story, but so…
It's been awhile since I've done a book review, but when I got the offer to be a part of the launch team for The Librarian of Boone's Hollow, I knew I'd have to make time to read this book. As it turned out, I started reading and I couldn't put it down. Everything else…
Finding Lady Enderly is unlike any other book I've read. It feels like classic literature, like you're discovering a treasure that's been tucked away for all these years and just now discovered and released.
Biblical fiction is a fairly new genre for me. For years, I avoided it because it just seemed weird to fictionalize the people from the Bible. Then I discovered Lois T. Henderson, and a whole new world opened up to me. I was still picky, though. I wanted to make sure that the author did…
Saturday I decided I would take a day of relaxation and read a book. I started reading Romancing the Bride in the morning and spent most of the day curled up in my bed glued to the story. I couldn't stop reading until late at night when I finally finished it. This is so uncharacteristic…
I met Meghan Weyerbacher last year when we did a Summer of '67 Message, Meal, and a Movie event at her church. I knew she was a blogger who blogged about writing, but at the time, she wasn't an author. She was just a super sweet woman encouraging other writers to succeed. A few months…
From the moment I picked up We Hope for Better Things and started reading it, I knew it was something special. I was hooked from the very first page, and the more I read, the harder it was to put it down. We Hope for Better Things is the story of three women from different…
In the midst of all our movie release craziness, it's so relaxing to be able to take a break and read a good book. The Hope of Azure Springs by Rachel Fordham was a great choice. I always enjoy books set in the late 1800's. At first glance, this one looks like a western romance,…
This June I'll be teaching screenwriting at the Kentucky Christian Writer's Conference. As a result, I've had the pleasure of getting to know Hannah R. Conway, the faculty chairman of the conference. We were recently chatting, and she mentioned the need for more reviews. I quickly volunteered to review Up in Smoke, and I'm so…
