Review: "A Lady in Attendance" by Rachel Fordham

Rachel Fordham is quickly becoming a name to watch in Christian historical fiction, and A Lady in Attendance might be her best book yet.

Review: "Come Back to Me" by Jody Hedlund

She had me at time travel. Then I saw this gorgeous cover, and I was a goner!  

Review: "Dusk's Darkest Shores" by Carolyn Miller

I have loved all of Carolyn Miller's books, but I've been especially excited for her new Regency Wallflowers series, which focuses on older women. If the first book, Dusk's Darkest Shores, is any indication, this series will be wonderful!

Review: "At Lighthouse Point" by Suzanne Woods Fisher

Return to Three Sisters Island for youngest Grayson sister Blaine's story!

Review: "Isabelle and Alexander" by Rebecca Anderson

There's a very North and South (Elizabeth Gaskell novel/BBC miniseries) vibe to Isabelle and Alexander, and fans of that story will find much to like here.

The Power of the Dizi

In early September, I stumbled across the Turkish TV show Erkenci Kuş, and I was immediately enchanted. I watched the entire series - 51 episodes averaging just over two hours each - in just over a month. And while it lost some of its early magic (which I wrote about here) due to writer changes, I still loved every minute I spent watching it. 

Erkenci Kuş led me to search out other dizis - I initially went for others starting Can Yaman, who played the wonderful Can Divit in EK - and then I found Sen Çal Kapimi. SÇK is a currently airing dizi, so I can't binge it like I did EK. It's also become incredibly maddening due to writer changes, but I keep watching for the insane chemistry between leads Kerem Bürsin and Hande Erçel. (Also, I live for the moments when Bürsin - who grew up in the US - speaks English.)

Review: "Blackberry Beach" by Irene Hannon

It's time for a return to Hope Harbor - one of my favorite book series!
