life’s simplest pleasures and life’s greatest joys : all hung from a clothesline.
A Chance at Forever by Melissa Jagears is the third and final in the “Teaville Moral Society” series. While this is a “Christian Romance” and fulfills all my favorite things about that genre, it also is filled with a few twists and extra plot elements that make the story unique. I love the way Jagears addresses the ramifications of […]
Last year I wanted to dive into the Bible more and grow my love for reading the edifying and life changing Words held in it. This year I want to go deeper. I am developing a plan this month for what that will look like and one thing I know for sure is that I’m […]
Tracie Peterson’s third book in the “Heart of the Frontier“ series does not disappoint! I read Treasured Grace, Beloved Hope (review here) and now the third installment Cherished Mercy. If I thought I couldn’t love these three sisters more, I was wrong. As Peterson continues the story of Grace, Hope, and now Mercy I find […]
I had to read the first book, Treasured Grace, in the “Heart of the Frontier” series; and I’m so glad I did. Beloved Hope was all the better because I had fallen in love with the deep, complicated woman named Hope before the book even began. Then to see how Peterson unwound her story and […]
The Captains Daughter by Jenifer Delamere is an engaging and exciting start to the “London Beginnings” series. The Bernay sisters are a promising and dynamic trio that will lead the story in several very different directions. As the story unfolds you read about Rosalyn Bernay and Nate Moran. I won’t give this exciting love story […]
I devoured this book. I needed a good Fiction read, and I knew it. I realized all the non fiction I had been reading was beginning to blur together in my mind. Not only did I love the story as a whole but I LOVED the characters individually. I was worried since I began the […]
Dear Mary: Lessons From the Mother of Jesus for the Modern Mom by Sarah Jakes “In Dear Mary, Sarah Jakes explores biblical stories about Mary–as well as stories from her own life–to better understand what living for Christ can look like today and how to model that for your children. Maybe you struggle to trust God’s will […]
It took me longer to read this one, but not because the book itself was not well written or intriguing. As the Summer (of reading) has progressed I found myself neck deep in books and for this one I just couldn’t justify the “pleasure reading” as often with two little ones running around. […]
The summer of reading continues as I read “Miracle in A Dry Season” by Sarah Loudin Thomas. This week I’ve been at a beautiful summer camp enjoying the scenery while I read. The story takes place in Wise, West Virginia in the mid-1950s and is not only a quaint love story, but also a great […]
At the start of the new year my husband googled “how to become a voracious reader.” A self proclaimed “non–reader” he wanted to develop a new habit in the new year. Let me tell you this… in the 8 (or 9) years we’ve been together I’ve never seen him read a book cover to cover […]
