TBT - Dr. Seuss

Courtesy of Onthisday.com Today,in literature history, commemorates the death of Dr. Seuss, whodied in 1991. He's perhaps one of the most beloved children's author of all times. Some of his books have been adapted for film and he continues to delight readers.

As an author, I can't think of a better legacy than continuing to delight new readers after death. I've read his stories to my children. Watched the movies with them. And our home was filled with laughter and joy because of his works.

My TBR Pile - Week of 9/21/15

It's a new week and once again, I'm staring at my rising TBR pile. It seems like the more I work on my own novel, the higher the pile gets. But I refuse to stop purchasing books, lol. So let me share what's in my pile this week. 1. Jan Thompson's "Know You More"
I won this book in a giveaway! Nothing more exciting than free books. :)

In case you're curious, here's a portion from the blurb: "Diego Flores has been in love with his best friend’s younger sister since their college days, but his ca...

Review: "Hope Harbor" by Irene Hannon

Can I just say Tressa's Read-A-Thon over at Wishful Endings has been great at helping me lower my TBR pile?! It's a fourteen-day event where we tackle our TBR. Of course, it's no hardship. I've finished three books in seven days and it's providing material for my blog. And without further ado, the reason you're here!

It's review time. :)

So ever since my first Irene Hannon read, I've been a fan. So I had no doubt I would enjoy her latest contemporary romance, Hope Harbor. After reading it, I c...

Review: Second Chance Summer by Irene Hannon

If you read my post Monday, then you saw I had this lovely book on my TBR pile. Since I joined Tressa's Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon on her blog, so I had motivation to finish. Hopefully, I will be able to tackle more books and have more reviews for you.

Of course, it is an Irene Hannon novel so motivation was already there as soon as I saw her name.

So here are my thoughts on "Second Chance Summer."
First thought: 'that was so sweet.' Y'all, I love sweet reads that leave you with a warm glow li...

Prayerful Wednesday

Usually for Prayerful Wednesday, I include a picture with a scripture sighting the importance of praying for one another. This Wednesday, I wanted to do something different.

I believe part of prayer is praising and worshiping God. So, I'm curious. What's the worship music that sends you into praise? What song opens the floodgates for your prayer time? Please post in comments.

In case you're curious as to what I've been listening to. Here area few songs I like. I've included links to their YouT...

TBR Pile - Week of September 14

I haven't done an update on my TBR pile, so I thought I'd share a few of the books waiting to be read. I have an eclectic group but they share one thing in common: Christian faith.A couple in my list arefrom the Love Inspired line and the others fall in theAfrican-American Christian genre. Hopefully, I'll have some future reviews for you. 1. Piper Huguley's "A Virtuous Ruby"
I first discovered Ms. Huguley when I read her novella, "A Lawyer's Luck." It was a great historical read and made it q...
