Review: "Edenbrooke" by Julianne Donaldson

For literal years, I've seen some of my book blogging friends raving about Julianne Donaldson's Edenbrooke. I snagged it on a Kindle deal a while back, but it just sat there, unread ...

Flash forward to a couple months ago, when I was asked to join the blog tour for Promised, one of Shadow Mountain Publishers' "Proper Romance" novels. I practically inhaled the novel. Same story with the second "Proper Romance" I read, Lakeshire Park. So then I went looking for other books in the line, and I discovered Edenbrooke on the list. So I started reading ...

Review: "Lakeshire Park" by Megan Walker

Earlier this year, I read my first "Proper Romance," the delightful Promised (my review). I knew then that I wanted to read more of these books, so when the opportunity to join the blog tour for Lakeshire Park came up, I jumped at the chance. It was a good choice!

Review: "Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire" by Jen Hatmaker

Five years ago, I was on the launch team for Jen Hatmaker's For the Love. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the book changed my life. (See my review here.) In the time since she wrote For the Love, Hatmaker went through a very public (and very painful) shift in some of her beliefs, which moved her out of the conservative Evangelical sphere where I still reside. I think it's very healthy to hear from voices different from our own, so I was eager to read Fierce, Free, and Full of Fire—knowing that I wouldn't agree with 100% of Hatmaker's words but hoping to understand a different perspective and find myself challenged.

Review: "The Socialite" by J'nell Ciesielski

I am always up for a World War II novel, especially when it's getting great buzz. I've been hearing good things about The Socialite for a while now, and I'm so glad I finally had a chance to read it!

Review: "Silent Shadows" by Natalie Walters

After reading Natalie Walters' debut novel Living Lies last year, I knew I'd found an author to watch! Somehow, I missed the second book in the series (something that will be remedied once my Libby hold comes through), but I was eager to dive back into the Walton, Georgia, world with Silent Shadows.

Review: "A Gift to Cherish" by Victoria Bylin

I read (and loved!) Victoria Bylin's When He Found Me last year (my review), so I was eager to read the second book in the Road to Refuge series, A Gift to Cherish.
