My Opinion on Camp Nano April 2020

Hi girls! Ive been meaning to mention this for a couple weeks now (Since Camp started.) If youve been following my blog for some time, youll know that I am an avid fan of Camp NaNoWriMo, which is a virtual retreat for authors and writers to get together and reach writerly goals. Every year for...

Silent Shadows by Natalie Walters – Revell Books Review

Okay so this was as amazing as I wanted it to be. I read Deadly Deceit when it first came out and I loved that book, but several of the third person chapters really bothered me. Silent Shadows was all the spunk, action, romance, and perfection of the second book without the chapters that made...

Dear Girl

My dear girl, why do you listen to the people that would only like to see you broken? Why do you seek to change yourself to fit their expectations? Their mocking words, heartfelt advice or simple comments that slice down into your heart and leave you crying at night? Why am I not enough? Why...

Out of Embers by Amanda Cabot – Revell Reads Review

Out of Embers was a cute book! When I first started reading it, I was not drawn in. In fact if I didnt have to review it I probably would not have picked it up again. How awful it was for Evelyn to lose the entire orphanage. However, because I did have to review it,...

Star of Persia by Jill Smith – Revell Reads Review

I didnt love this one. Its really hard for me to get into biblical retellings, and this was not one of the better ones Ive read. For one, I hated the way Esthers relationship with Nebechenezar was all sensual. A retelling didnt need that. We didnt need the sexualization of Esther and her husband. We...

Collision of Lies by Tom Threadgill – Revell Reads Review

Amara Alvarez was awesome. I found that when a good male author writes a female character, I like them a lot more than ones written by female authors. Why is that? Anyway. This book was well done. I really had a blast reading through it and wondering what was going to happen next. I loved...

End Game by Rachel Dylan – Bethany House Review

This was a good one. I finished it yesterday and what to say… I enjoyed it. I really liked the way that there were SO MANY LAYERS to the plot without getting confusing. I was able to follow it all the way through and I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was...
