It was about 3am when I finally turned the last page on this one. And as I have said in the past - I'll say it again - read the author's note (pg. 335) first!! I absolutely love these historical notes, they add such a richness to the story before you even begin. Anyways... I … Continue reading Book Review: A Dangerous Legacy
I bought this one a little while ago and I've been meaning to get around to it, however, my reading list has been a bit full. Until last week, when I finally sat down down to binge my way through it. And boy, did I binge. I had heard so many good things about The … Continue reading Book Review: The Lady and the Lionheart
Have you ever thought you knew something? Understood it? Made your peace with it? Only to have it all dredged up again in light of new information? It’s the craziest thing - to grieve an event twice.

Snelling is one of the ladies several of my writing friends and I … Continue reading Book Review: The Promise of Dawn

When this one popped up, I grabbed for it with both hands. Warm-Hearted Victorian Romance Brings 1880s London to … Continue reading Book Review: The Captain’s Daughter
Several years ago now - wow does time fly - I had the pleasure of meeting Kara Swanson at a writers' conference at Mount Hermon. So when she asked me to help her launch her newest work, a novella called The Girl Who Could See, I couldn't have been more excited. And after finishing my … Continue reading The Girl Who Could See
At one point in my life - years ago now - I used to inhale books like they were air. I would ready almost anything I could get my hands on. That is until writing ruined me. It's also what made me into a reviewer. All that to say - I don't know how to … Continue reading You’re Reading It Wrong
I just finished another book! Always game for a glimpse into the past - especially something unique - I recently finished reading The Chapel Car Bride by Judith Miller. Intriguing Glimpse into the Past by Bestselling Historical Author Judith Miller With her penchant for seeing the best in everyone, Hope Irvine sees a world full … Continue reading Book Review: The Chapel Car Bride
I've come to find that the most important conversations don't happen around the coffee cart at church, but at while eating lunch at a brewery afterwards. Or on a Saturday night around my kitchen table while demolishing a bag of Robin Eggs. Easter inevitably brings up important questions.
