Anomaly – review
Anomaly by Krista McGee is a fascinating sci-fi young adult novel. The publisher’s synopsis (below) drew me in, so I was happy to have an opportunity to review this book. Stories like this stretch my imagination with all sorts of “what if” scenarios. How would you share the gospel with someone who had never even heard of God? The plot…

Small Town Girl – review
Small Town Girl by Ann H. Gabhart is a gripping love story set in, as you might assume from the title, a small American town during the early days of World War II. While it probably would be considered a romance novel, the story had a little more depth to it than your typical romance. I loved the characters and…

Captives – review
If you’ve been following my blog for very long you will know I read a wide variety of fiction genres. Some I enjoy more than others, but primarily I just enjoy a well-told story, regardless of the category. Dystopian* stories seem to be particularly popular with young adults readers lately. My main criteria for a dystopian novel, besides being well-written,…

Love Finds You in Glacier Bay, Alaska – review
Love Finds You in Glacier Bay, Alaska by Tricia Goyer and Ocieanna Fleiss is a great curl-up-by-the-fire winter read! It is actually two stories in one, with one being set in the present and the other in the 1920s, told through a box of old letters. I loved this format of storytelling and got caught up in both story-lines as…

Then Sings My Soul: Book 3 – review
When it comes to worship style, I am very much a traditionalist. I love the old hymns (and newer ones as well) sung in parts with a piano. I like holding a hymnal so I can see the notes as well as the words. I also enjoy knowing the stories behind the hymns, so I have enjoy Robert J. Morgan’s…

The New Recruit – review
The New Recruit is Book 1 in Jill Williamson’s Mission League series about a spy organization made up of Christian teens who fight the supernatural. It’s a little bit espionage, a little bit sci-fi, and a whole lot of excitement! The main character is Spencer Garmond who is decidedly not a Christian. However, his Grandma is. And when Spencer gets into…

Goldtown Adventures – review
Fellow homeschool-mom Susan K. Marlow’s new book series for kids, Goldtown Adventures, has launched! Badge of Honor is an exciting historical novel for kids. It takes place in the waning days of the California gold rush, as seen through the eyes of 12-year-old Jem. There is still gold to be found (small amounts, anyway) if one is willing to work…

American Tapestries – review
Today I get to participate in the blog tour for the first two books in the new American Tapestries series from Summerside: Queen of the Waves and Where the Trail Ends. The time periods of both novels intrigued me, so I was happy for the opportunity to read them. Thank you to Litfuse Group for providing me with review copies…

With Every Letter – review
I thoroughly enjoyed Sarah Sundin’s Wings of Glory trilogy about brothers who fought in World War II. I was very excited when I heard about her new series, Wings of the Nightingale, featuring World War II nurses. I was even more excited when I had the chance to review the first one: With Every Letter. And it didn’t disappoint! You…
