The Shape of Mercy and Giveaway
Susan Meissner’s newest book, The Shape of Mercy, is a blend of contemporary and historical fiction, mystery and romance. Set in present day Santa Barbara and also in colonial America during the Salem Witch Trials, the book follows a young college student as she transcribes the diary of a young woman falsely accused of witchcraft in 1692. I am currently …
Interview with Author of The Shack and Giveaway
Wednesday, I participated in a blogger conference call with William P. Young, the author of The Shack. This is greatly abridged; it’s just the notes I typed as quickly as I could. I tried to capture the highlights, and I hope that you can get a part of Paul’s (as he is called) personality. He is incredibly smart and humble, …
Love as a Way of Life Review and 2 book giveaway
This week one of the books I’ve been reading is Love is a Way of Life by Gary Chapman. Many of you are probably familiar with his book The Five Love Languages in all its iterations. (I’m also currently reading The Five Love Languages for Children after my mom and sister highly recommended it to me. It’s also very good!) …

The Edge of Recall Review & Giveaway
I have not read many Kristen Heitzmann books — in fact I think the only other one of hers I read was Halo several years ago. I wasn’t sure what to expect with The Edge of Recall, even after the first few chapters. The plot and characters slowly sucked me in until I couldn’t put the book down. I’d classify …
Fatal Deduction Review and Giveaway
One Across…three down. The answer is in the puzzle. The danger is in not solving it before time’s up. Fatal Deduction is one of the books I read the week that Rebecca was born. I hope you understand the delay in posting the review LOL. My Mom and I both read it that week and really enjoyed it. Libby Keating’s …
Ruby Among Us Review & Giveaway
Tina Forkner’s debut novel Ruby Among Us is contemporary fiction that explores how the secrets fo the past impact the course of the present. It was interesting to read this book immediately after finishing Skizzer. Both have the same general theme – uncovering the secrets of the past – yet are told in very different styles. Tina has a lyrical …
Review and Giveaway: My Heart Remembers
In My Heart Remembers, Kim Sawyer returns with a book that starts with a punch of emotion that doesn’t stop until the last page. I have really enjoyed each of her books so far, and this one lived up to what I’ve come to expect from her: — a historical setting that I am transported to,— characters who are far …
Generation NeXt Marriage Review & Giveaway
I had the privilege of reading Generation NeXt Marriage as Tricia wrote it. You might even see a comment or two from me in the book. But I think this is a fantastic book for more reasons than my name appears in it 🙂 The publisher has done a fantastic job laying the book out in a fun to read …
