Thoughts Quilted by Christmas by Jodie Bailey was an enjoyable read. Taryn, the main character, struggled with having been told that she was manipulative and needy. She hadn't had a loving father in her life, and she never felt like she quite measured up. She had a hard time seeing herself as loved and important. She'd made mistakes that resulted in a big life change. She desired forgiveness, but seemed to not be able to believe that she deserved it. When her high school sweetheart Justin ...
Hidden in the Stars – a Litfuse Review
Thoughts I had never read anything by Robin Caroll before, and I've definitely added her to my list of much-appreciated authors! Hidden in the Stars is a murder mystery, full of suspense that will leave you wondering "who done it". The characters are very succinctly and nicely depicted, the plot is strong and fluid, and the attention to detail that Robin deftly worked in was very well done. It was a book that kept my attention, and as my regular readers know, that's not easily done with this ...
The Heart Mender – A BookSneeze Review
I will say that The Heart Mender by Andy Andrews was quite an interesting read. As a writer myself, I was attracted to the way Andy Andrews wrote this book.

BookSneeze Book Review – Plain Paradise
I've recently had the opportunity to read a book that I've really enjoyed. Plain Paradise is part of an Amish book series by Beth Wiseman.

Her birth mother has only a short time to live, so she wants to know the daughter she'd given away when she was two weeks old. Meanwhile, the Amish folks who'd raised this young lady struggle with fear that the ...
BookSneeze Book Review – John Bunyan
John Bunyan, author of The Pilgrim's Progress I enjoy a good biography. However, it is not often that I read a biography about someone who lived so long ago as John Bunyan. In fact, I'd never read anything about John Bunyan's life. I read John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress while in high school, but never knew anything personal of Bunyan. The title "John Bunyan," written by Kevin Belmonte, is a nice book for someone like myself who knows little about John Bunyan. This title is part of a ...
