Thanks for visiting! If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed using the feedburner link to the right. I started this book at 9:30pm in a bubble bath.  Thought I’d read for a little while and then go to bed.
At 1:00am I finished the last page and went to [...]

Tara’s View on Books posted this recently and I thought I’d give it a whirl.  Plus, I needed an easy blog post.
The Big Read is a USA National Endowment for the Arts program designed to encourage community reading initiatives and of their top 100 books, they estimate the average adult has read only [...]

Did you ever hear of The Dumb Blonde’s Guide to Christianity?
Maizy Grace Stewart, the heroine in Faking Grace, uses The Dumb Blonde’s Guide to get a job at a Christian publishing company.

I’ll tell you a semi-secret. I liked the movies National Treasure and The Librarian. My man watched them with me even though he rolled his eyes.
House of Wolves by Matt Bronleewe is that same type of story. It’s about August Adams getting pulled (literally) into protecting a rare manuscript and dealing with [...]

What do a thirteen year old boy, a special forces veteran, and a retired missionary lady have in common? They are main characters in Davis Bunn’s new book All Through the Night.
