I like using a few images and putting them together (the eraser tool is fantastic!) to create one-of-a-kind covers.

A Sweet Cinderella Retelling

A Sweet Cinderella Retelling: Night of Dance by Erin Halbmaier

This was a sweet Cinderella retelling. It has all of the Cinderella elements you love: snobby step-sisters, a mean step-mother, a twist of a kindly neighbor for the godmother, and a prince who figures out a plan to not be the prince at his own ball.

There was only hints of magic. It was a clean romance with a sweet kiss. It set up the couple nicely for their novel

I would hand this book to a teen wh

This was such a cute story! I’m not sure I’ve read the amnesia trope before, and it gave a fun twist on an already-married couple.

"4.5 stars

“No matter how strong you may be, some wounds we can’t reach by ourselves.”

I’m going to have to quit saying that I’m not a fan of reading about the 1920s, and it’s exactly because of novels like The Metropolitan Affair and The Hudson Collec" Read more of this review »

"Green dazzles again!

While slightly darker in nature than the first, one with its peek in 1920s thought on eugenics & “undesirables,” it’s a gripping and richly layered story.

One of my favourite aspects was the honest portrayal of chronic illness & t" Read more of this review »

I enjoyed every minute of this book!

Unlike book 1, this one doesn’t have as strong a mystery or as suspenseful moments. I think had I been expecting that, I would have been disappointed. But I felt like The Metropolitan Affair was unique for Jocelyn

“Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshipers met together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be, were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship.”
A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God: The Human Thirst for the Divine

“No.” Elizabeth shook her head. Resolution seeped through her, as powerful as adrenaline. “No one can command my convictions. They are mine, given to me by God and meant for my life’s journey. You can destroy my possessions, but you cannot take what is in my heart.”
Alicia A. Willis, Grace Triumphant: A Tale of the Slave Trade

“Our God isn’t stingy with His grace, like we are sometimes.”
Alicia G. Ruggieri, All Our Empty Places

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.”
John Newton, Amazing Grace
