Wow! Incredible, I'm so thankful that Jessica was willing to write down and share her story. I had many no way, and that's not possible moments while reading but at the same time seeing all the dangers of doing yoga or meditation practices that after reading this as a Christian would never touch with a 10 foot pole. I'm so glad to have heard her speak at the Answers in Genesis Women's Conference and to have her book and website as a resource for any Christian friends who think "Christian yoga" is ok. Thank you so much for sharing your story Jessica. It was an eye opening read. 

The book of Lost Children is a dual timeline historical fiction inspired by true story. I couldn't wait to read this as I LOVE historical fiction, but especially true story or inspired by true story books! I was drawn in from the beginning and I couldn't get enough of the story. Such a tough time period to write about and read about but Jenny did a fantastic job sharing the story. I must admit that I never really thought about what happened with babies born during this time. I definitely cried at different points in the story and the twist at the end was something I wasn't expecting at all. Such a beautifully written story. I will be reading it again.some day and I will have my older kids read it when we next study WW2 in history.

Unbelievable! Absolutely amazing! I loved Cara's first book in this series but I LOVED this one. I couldn't put it down, was drawn in from the very first page again. It's a thrilling mystery/suspense story featuring Leo and Jasper. I didn't see some of the twists and turns and the ending oh the ending I am blown away and literally CANNOT wait for book three to come out in June!!!!! It literally won't come fast enough ❤️ Again I really appreciate how real the characters are in their emotions, thoughts, actions - it's not just all peachy and fake, but real interactions with irritation, anger, jealousy, commraderie and more that make reading books to me much more enjoyable, because you feel with them.

This is such a cute short closed door romcom read. I read it in a couple hours ❤️❤️❤️ I love how Emma isn't interested in finding love but yet love finds her. She wants to pay Cupid for others including her mom but doesn't want anyone doing that for her. I honestly couldn't put your down, I wanted to know what would happen when she tried to pass herself off as over 50, I wanted to see if he would like her quirks and all, I loved how they had some things in similarity but a lot was opposite - opposite taste in dessert type things, opposite taste in movies, and more. There were a few twists but I absolutely loved the ending 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I can't wait to read more of Kiri's works. 

Wow! What a story! This is a fantastic crime thriller that will probably have you staying up way too late trying to finish it because you want to know what happens and if you guessed right about who did it. The twists and turns are many and the biggest twist at the end I really didn't see coming and totally threw me. I loved that the characters are flawed and all as it makes them more relatable than characters painted as perfect.

This book is full of short readings on many different topics for all those times that you need a breather and encouragement, truth and a reminder you're not on this journey alone. Because these are short readings even non readers would read these because they can read the one that pertains to today and put it down ❤️ 

Even as a Mom of 6 ages 12-5 no longer just in those frantic early years - I found many encouragements throughout this book. I also loved that I could pick it up read the topic I needed and be refreshed, encouraged, etc to move on in 5 min or less it really helps my struggle days. So no matter where you are in your motherhood journey you will find encouragement throughout this book.

This is going to become my go to book to give new Mom's with their baby shower gift. I will be recommending this to all my friends and other moms I meet! 💗💗💗 Emily and Laura did a fantastic job! 

DJ was another brand new to me author and I will be reading more of his books!

9-1-1 is a very fast paced, multiple POVs crime thriller that went seamlessly together and drew me in from chapter one! I really didn't want to put it down until it was over. 
I loved the story line and Peter and Zsuzsa from the get go and some of the twists and turns in this thriller left me saying what, didn't see that coming, etc even out loud occasionally 😂. DJ pulled it all together nicely in the end and I loved the ending. 

I want to mention three triggers in case they are something that bother you - 9/11 (it is set in and around the twin towers and the attacks on 9/11; murder and extramarital affairs.

No words. 

An incredibly interesting family story woven with scientific research that has gone on since the late 1970s. It's incredibly sad with how many family members ended up with cancer and loved short lives and then the others who lived long cancer free lives. It's also incredible how from these families with multiple cases of cancer led to a medical mystery and began being somewhat helpful in cancer causes and possible cure/treatments research. 

This is a beautiful story of a young girl who steps up to do her Dad's job after he's injured and doesn't fully recover. Jennie has been praying for friends, opportunity to go back to school and for her Dad to get better and walk the pipeline again. Jennie and her Mom are struggling with seemingly unanswered prayers, are wondering if God even hears them anymore. Then comes in "college boy" Leo and his preacher dad not supporting his wanted profession of paleontology. I loved how Leo encouraged Jennie and her Mom with Bible verses and more. How Leo and even his parents were also praying for Jennie and her parents. I love how relatable the characters are and how transparent some of their struggles are even with believing God is hearing their prayers, which is something we all struggle with at one point or another. I loved how biblical paleontology was talked about and I also learned about a job from the times I didn't even know existed. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves Christian historical fiction! ❤️❤️ It is a kind of romance but very low-key, no touching until towards the end and most definitely closed door.
