Book Review: A Gilded Lady

July 20, 2020July 20, 2020Leave a comment

Alright fellow readers, I just finished reading  book two in Elizabeth Camden's Hope and Glory series (Actually, I had a sewing project so I was listening to the audio - and the narrator was awesome). If I haven't said it before, I'll say it now - this lady always includes the most fascinating history in her … Continue reading Book Review: A Gilded Lady

Book Review: An Hour Unspent

December 17, 2018December 17, 2018Leave a comment

This was one of those books that took me longer to get through - but not in a bad way! It was almost frustratingly hilarious. At one point, my kindle estimated that it would take me 5 hours to finish a chapter. Cue the facepalm. Mostly because I loved this book, and real life should … Continue reading Book Review: An Hour Unspent

1900-1920s The Progressive Era

July 28, 2018August 4, 20182 Comments

As the Victorian Era is to the American Gilded Age, the Edwardian Era is to the Progressive Era. A name that comes from the progressive politics of the time that led to compulsory school attendance (meant to keep children out of the labor force and increase literacy), the prohibition of alcohol, and women's suffrage. European … Continue reading 1900-1920s The Progressive Era

Book Review: A Chance at Forever

April 24, 2018May 21, 2018Leave a comment

I'm apart of several reading and writing groups on Facebook, but recently, someone threw out the question, what books have you read that changed the way you looked at someone or something? I need to add this one to my list. In early 1900s Kansas, Mercy McClain, determined to protect Teaville's children from the bullying … Continue reading Book Review: A Chance at Forever

Book Review: Out of the Ruins

I just need to start off this review by saying - reading this one had a twofold purpose. First off,  several of my favorite authors endorsed this one. Having met and received feedback from a few of them, I value their opinions - so I was excited to read this story. Second, I've been researching … Continue reading Book Review: Out of the Ruins

Book Review: A Dangerous Legacy

November 18, 2017May 21, 20181 Comment

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

Book Review: The Promise of Dawn

September 1, 2017May 21, 2018Leave a comment

Years ago, when I learned Lauraine Snelling would be at my first writers' conference, I had stars in my eyes. I adored her Blessing books. They never fail to speak to my Scandinavian heart (admittedly, I'm Swedish, but Norway is close enough). Snelling is one of the ladies several of my writing friends and I … Continue reading Book Review: The Promise of Dawn

Book Review: A Name Unknown

August 8, 2017May 21, 20181 Comment

I've been so excited to bring this one to you all. It has quickly earned a spot among my honorable mentions of historical fiction with its quaint setting, spunky characters and captivating plot. SHE'S OUT OT STEAL HIS NAME, WILL HE STEAL HER HEART INSTEAD? Rosemary Gresham has no family beyond the band of former … Continue reading Book Review: A Name Unknown
