It was a great year of reading for me! As usual, I didn’t get through nearly as many books as I wanted to, but I did read some really great stories in 2019. I made myself narrow the list down to my Top 5 favorites, PLUS a few extras that almost made the list ’cause, …

Review: Once Upon a Dickens Christmas by Michelle Griep
Beside the quintessential Christmas novel, A Christmas Carol, I’d only ever read one Christmas themed book before now (Giver of Wonders by Roseanna M.

Review: Always by Jody Hedlund
Do you ever read YA (Young Adult) Fiction, even if you aren’t a teenager? I do! Many YA books are still enjoyable and relate-able for adult readers, despite the fact that they are written with a younger audience in mind. If you already read the genre, or never have but wouldn’t mind giving it a …

I always love learning about other people’s favorite books and authors. It’s fun to see what favorites I have in common with others, and even more fun to discover authors I’ve never read anything from before. I’ve also been asked many times for book recommendations—another thing I LOVE! I’m always happy to share about the …
Review: Land of Silence by Tessa Afshar (+ My Newfound Love of Audible!)
I have recently fallen in love with audio books! I’ve always enjoyed listening to audio dramas and stories (especially the Chronicles of Narnia audio dramas from Focus on the Family!), but I’ve never really tried actual audio books. It all started when I received a free audio book download of Widow of Gettysburg by Jocelyn …
