Good Things Take Time (Buddy the Blue Corgi Series) by Suzanna Lynn

 

Good Things Take Time by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a beautifully written book about the importance of patience!! Buddy is seeing his brothers and sisters going away from the farm. People come and look at them everyday. Momma explains that it's time for them to go to their forever homes. One day, Buddy looks around and he's the only pup left in his litter. His mom very lovingly explains that his time hasn't come yet.

The illustrations are very colorful and well done! The story does come from a Biblical basis and there is one Bible verse quoted within at the end. This is a great book for any library and I highly recommend it, especially if you know someone struggling with patience.

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love ~ A Pride And Prejudice Variation Novelette (Love Through The Ages Series) by TL Clark

 

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love: A Pride And Prejudice Variation Novelette by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

This very quick-read novelette features one of the Pride and Prejudice characters that Ms. Jane Austen wrote about. Georgiana is looking for love and a house party ensues to find her a suitable partner.

This book is so short that it's hard to say much more about it without giving away any parts. I did find it a bit difficult to get into but once I did finally "get in the groove", it was almost over. It's an enjoyable read but not a favorite of mine.

Made to Love Her (Moore Family Saga Novella) by Michele Sims

 

Made to Love Her: Romantic Suspense Novella by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

This is a pretty short read (about 60 pages) so the story moves pretty quickly. Cade and Lecia are going to Greece where Cade is playing several concerts with his band during the Millennial Olympic Games. It's been awhile since Cade and Lecia have been away by themselves having small children at home. Pretty quickly, drama starts to ensue in an elevator (I hope I never experience what they did!) and things escalate from there.

This book kept my attention throughout and I read it in just under an hour. I have not read any of this author's previous work and I felt a little disjointed at times, like I should already know these characters. An enjoyable book overall with a suspenseful storyline!

You Are Special (Buddy the Blue Corgi Series) by Suzanna Lynn

 

You Are Special by Suzanna Lynn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Buddy is a Blue Corgi and he doesn't look like the other siblings in his litter. He doesn't know it until one day a horse on the farm points it out. Buddy becomes very upset until his mom comes to comfort him.

This book is a great way to talk to kids about differences, whether it be in the way they look, different abilities, etc. There is a Bible verse at the end and this is written to be very inspirational. I highly recommend this book! The reader even gets to meet the real life Buddy at the end of the book!

Forever to Fall (Buckeye Falls Book 5) by Libby Kay

 

Forever to Fall by Libby Kay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I absolutely love this series!! I love all the characters and Buckeye Falls sounds like the kind of place that I could find a forever home in.

I love the story of Mallory and Beckett's childhood. It's one that girls dream of. You "marry" your best friend and just love life. Such an innocent type of love. Does that kind of love really exist though into adulthood? Can it grow into something more? Beckett is coming back to the farm for his friend Evan's wedding. Beckett remembers how he felt about Mallory, but does she? So many unanswered questions as these two are then thrust into best man and maid of honor duties.

I wish I could visit Buckeye Falls and get some of those apples they keep talking about!

An Ember of Hope (War of Destiny Series) by Theresa Van Spankeren

 

An Ember of Hope: War of Destiny by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I've enjoyed this series of books and this one did not disappoint either. There are some very dark moments for Matthew in this book but ultimately, he receives the redemption he's been seeking. The writer of this series has put a lot of thought into the character development and storyline and I highly recommend reading these in order. While this book takes place between books 2 and 3, you could read this one out of order but should probably read those books first for better context.

A very challenging series but an enjoyable one!

Andrew’s Armor by Jill Monaco

 

Andrew's Armor by Jill Monaco
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Andrew's parents have a treasure chest for him from the time he's just a baby. They are always encouraging him, telling him how strong and courageous he is. As Andrew grows, different toys appear in the treasure chest. One day, he finds some armor in there. He puts it on and runs around feeling stronger and braver than ever! Then, one day something happens and he puts his armor away. Nothing makes me feel strong or brave anymore. Notes start appearing on his armor, encouraging him to put it back on.

This book is very well written and describes the spiritual relationship of picking up our armor daily and fighting for the cause of Christ. It is a great way to encourage young children to be strong and brave, while also teaching them Biblical principals.

Midnight Falls by John Evans

 

Midnight Falls by John (ronin) Evans
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I almost put this book down before finishing it. It started off very rough, very slow, and I wasn't quite sure where it was going. There was enough there to keep me intrigued so I made it through. There are twists and turns you won't see coming and the story ended up coming together well in the end.

Picking Pismo by Emi Hilton

 

Picking Pismo by Emi Hilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed reading this clean romance novel about Claire, her sister Alexis, and Dr. David Clark. Who knew an orthodontist appointment could lead to a whirlwind romance amidst the losses that have been recently faced! Enjoy seeing these two souls, along with a young girl, grow up and learn more about life and love in the process.
