For the Record, Regina Jennings' newest historical Christian novel, is a book I've been waiting for. I've been a fan of Regina Jennings' novels since Book 1: Sixty Acres and a Bride (which I reviewed here). Suffice it to say, I do my best to keep up with her writing because her books are that good. Building Great Characters and Scenes Regina is remarkable at fleshing characters, and heroine Betsy Huckabee and hero Joel Puckett in For the Record are no exceptions. Betsy Huckabee is not a ...
Buried Memories by Carol Post
Buried Memories didn't fail me! Saying that I like Carol J Post's writing is such a pitiful way to explain my enjoyment! I have read Carol's books before, and she's a long-time Love-Inspired Suspense writer (through Harlequin). You can read my review of her novel Trust My Heart here. Buried Memories is a Christian romantic suspense that really kept me on my toes. The back and forth dramatic was riveting, and the characters written so well that I felt like I was there along for the ride. {Click ...
Shaking Like a Leaf: a Post on Fear
Shaking Like a Leaf. It is a phrase I've heard many times before. Overhearing someone talking and using the phrase "shaking like a leaf" isn't something that ordinarily would cause a light-bulb moment for me. It is a phrase I've heard quite often in my life. The phrase generally is referred to when someone is scared, anxious, cold, or excited. But the point of this article is to talk about the first word I listed: "scared". Sometimes God will inspire me with a word, a scene going on ...
Trust My Heart Review & Giveaway
Trust My Heart, written by Carol J. Post, was a really fun read! If you're looking for a contemporary Christian romance that is light-hearted and fun, definitely give this one your time! I was drawn in because of the heroine's name Jami. It is rare to see my own name in a book. After I decided that the book description sounded good, I wanted to read Trust My Heart! The two main characters, Grant and Jami, seemed like real people. Both had flaws (oh boy--don't get me started on Grant!) that ...
Night Night Farm – Children’s Book Review
Night Night Farm is a fun and colorful board book! Night Night Farm is perfect for those little ones who are fascinated with animals. I believe it would be appropriate for children up to Kindergarten or First Grade. My two year old son and I have read and read and read this book! He loves farm animals (and the sounds they make!), and this book really brings it all together for him in a compact, appropriate length board book that keeps his attention and has beautiful pictures and catchy, ...
I Said Yes by Emily Maynard Johnson – a Review
I Said Yes is an eye-catching title. When I saw Emily Maynard's face on a book cover, I was intrigued. I watched her season of The Bachelorette, and I knew her story from her talking about it on TV. Knowing also that she was a believer in Christ, I was interested in reading what she had to say. Reading I Said Yes, as a result, was a no-brainer. Emily lost her love Ricky Hendrick, a NASCAR race car driver, and found out after his death that she was expecting. She wound up on The Bachelor and ...
