Because I have two tight book deadlines, I’m not letting myself read many books right now. In fact, I’m almost in book withdrawal. However, when Thomas Nelson made The Sweet By and By available for review, I had to get it. First, I have thoroughly enjoyed every Rachel Hauck book I’ve read. Second, I enjoy Sara Evans music. Third, I …
Two Suspense Reviews
In Under the Cajun Moon, the author has done it again. She drops the reader into a fresh locale — New Orleans — and completely had me there. And it had a different feel to other books I’ve read set in that locale. Chloe Ledet is called home to New Orleans after her father is shot in a remote bayou …
A Couple Reviews
I’ve recently read a few great books. Here are two (and for the FTC: the first one I bought and the second I received from the author as a thanks for helping with some legal aspect of the novel — one I can’t even remember helping with!). Both of these are wonderful books…and very worth your reading time — though …
God Gave us…Reviews
The publisher sent me these two delightful picture books. I’ve received a couple earlier books in the series awhile ago, and the kids enjoyed them so much, I was eager to see what these titles were like. While we enjoyed the message and wonderful illustrations in both titles, I love the emphasis in God Gave Us Christmas. Sometimes it’s hard …
Christian Vampires? Thirsty Review…read on…
WOW! Initially, the idea of a Christian vampire book scared me. I’ve never read a vampire book, and didn’t expect to like it. I was wrong! In Thirsty Tracey has drafted a suspense that is richly layered. Nina Parker is an alcoholic and alcohol has destroyed her life. No, she has allowed alcohol to destroy her life. But now she’s …

The Swiss Courier: World War Two fiction at its best!
This is historical fiction at its best! I was sucked into the pages of this book from the first page. And the final twist had me cheering! It was the perfect finish to an engaging and historically accurate novel. Don’t mistake accuracy for boring — this book is anything but. Instead, the characters were rich, the time and location perfectly …
Reviews: Seaside Letters & Guardian of the Flame
Today I’m reviewing two books that I recently read and really enjoyed. One is a sweet romance from Denise Hunter, while the other is the latest in the Seven Wonders books from T.L. Higley. Both were engrossing reads, but in different ways. So to start, let’s turn to fellow Hoosier, Denise Hunter… For Seaside Letters, think You’ve Got Mail mixed …
Fearless: ready to tackle life?
The last couple weeks I’ve read Max Lucado’s latest release Fearless. My husband first introuduced me to Max’s books long before we were married. Eric worked at a Christian bookstore while in college and thought I would enjoy his book. I can’t remember what the first one I read was titled, but I enjoy his storytelling, direct mail kind of …
Two Books I’ve Enjoyed this Week
I am going to start with the book I finished late last night. I love Jenny B. Jones. She is the kind of gal that if we lived in the same town — make that the same state — I would love to spend time with. I only get to see her once a year at the ACFW conference, but …
