Amish Proverbs by Suzanne Woods Fisher – Review, Excerpt, & Giveaway

Revell (August 1, 2010) The photographs are wonderfully set up and respectful of the Amish feelings of discomfort at having their faces photographed. Many of the scenes are landscapes but the Amish settlements still maintain a quaint picturesque quality that is rare in our increasingly automated world. These gorgeous settings also carry a peace that [...]

In the Arms of Immortals by Ginger Garrett – My Review

David C. Cook (September 1, 2009) Garrett pulled me in with her first installment of Chronicles of the Scribe which allows readers a deeper glimpse into the story of Anne Boleyn than history dares to reveal. This second installment certainly lives up to the reputation Garrett is whittling out for herself in the world of [...]

The Berenstain Bears and A Job Well Done by Jan and Mike Berenstain – My Review

Zonderkidz (April 9, 2010) I remember the Berenstain Bears from my own childhood as well as from reading the books to other children when I would babysit or care for them as an afterschool or weekend job when I was a teen. The books have always contained a positive and encouraging message for kids in [...]

Love On a Dime by Cara Lynn James – My Review

Thomas Nelson (June 1, 2010) While I’m catching up on my pile of books that have been read but not reviewed we’re back to June and July reads. This novel is James’ first volume in a new series titled “Ladies of Summerhill”. Being a historical novel that immediately appealed to me. Also being a “summer [...]

Catching up on Reviews (Books DNF’d)

These titles were opened but put down early on in the reading and didn’t have the pull to pick them back up that some books do. Since they’ve been collecting dust for a month or two I decided it’s time to move on to other reading and forget about them. A Nation Rising by Kenneth [...]

Licensed for Trouble by Susan May Warren (P J Sugar #3) – My Review

Tyndale House (July 2, 2010) I’m only about halfway through this book so while I always make a point of not giving away endings or key plot twists out of respect for the author and their work, I do try to let readers know whether I felt the ending was satisfying to me as a [...]

One Smooth Stone by Marcia Lee Laycock – My Review

Castle Quay Books (August 8, 2007) My first taste of a new author can be a wonderful experience or it can leave an unpleasant after effect. One Smooth Stone while not my usual reading fare was one of those experiences that left me wanting more because it moved so quickly that it seemed to be [...]

Faith Awakened by Grace Bridges – CFRB Feature

Originally Posted at Bibliophile’s Retreat by Melissa Meeks Splashdown Books (June 15, 2009) Such a compelling story and vivid characters are woven together I could hardly put this book down. Science Fiction is usually not my thing but there is so much more to Faith Awakened including romance and adventure. Grace does not bog down [...]
