   Explore scriptures of the Bible in a new way, with the Alexander Maclaren Study Bible! 

* * *

   Alexander Maclaren was a pastor of Union Chapter in Manchester England from 1858-1903. He was often called the "Prince of Expositors" because he was considered to be one of the best preachers in the nineteenth century. He had a poetical way of explaining stories in the Bible, that brought many people remarkable biblical insight, so this Bible was designed after him. 

   The Alexander Maclaren Study Bible is filled with passages based on his sermons, including Life Application Notes to help you apply thoughts to your life, essays about the scripture, study notes, and more! Maclaren has over 1,500 published sermons that have been separated into every chapter to help you further study the scripture, give you encouragement, and really understand it from his point of view. 

   This Bible is an excellent way to help you study each chapter and get a look at it from the eyes of a well loved pastor in the nineteenth century! It's beautifully designed with a nice cover and attention to detail. The pages are easy to turn and I love the look of stain glass window inside, that help bring emphasis to the thinking points. It also contains an index of features, two attached ribbon bookmarks, a concordance, and colorful maps. This Bible arrives in a sleeve and is of excellent quality. It would make a great gift!

   Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my honest review. All opinions my own.

   Color of Home by Kit Tosello is a small town, contemporary read about an interior designer named Audrey who takes time off work to go help with family. Her Great Aunt Daisy needs support in helping with her Great Uncle Dean, who was diagnosed with Alzheimers. While Audrey is visiting, she reminisces on her childhood memories of visiting the small town during her summers, but also feeling the grief of the memory in which it was the location where her father died. 

   There are many obstacle that Audrey runs into, the Sugar Pine Inn being one of them; she wants to find a way to restore it, instead of seeing it deteriorate into nothing. She meets, Paige, a little girl who needs a friend, and Cade, a handsome kind man, along the way, both being things that keep her longing to stay home for good. With her job back in California threatening to end and the pull she feels in Oregon, which landing point will she choose? 

   If you’re looking for a homey feel good story, I highly recommend reading The Color of Home. I absolutely loved reading this book! This story is inspiring and the descriptions were beautifully brought to life with such colorful detail. I loved reading about Audrey’s life, her ups and downs and reliving the memories with her. I felt relatable to her in many ways and really enjoyed seeing her come back to life once she arrived at her great aunt and uncle’s house. The relationships she built with each person she came across, and the comfort and connection she felt, was inspiring. It was a healing journey for her, being put right where she needed to be, and in the end, choosing what was best for her heart and soul.

On Moonberry Lake - Book Review

  Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my honest review. All opinions my own.

 

   On Moonberry Lake written by Holly Varni, is an uplifting story about main character, Cora Matthews and her messy - turned beautiful, life. The novel begins with Cora trekking through merky unknown waters, after her broken engagement and an unexpected death of someone close to her. While wondering if life will ever get better, Cora receives an inheritance in the form of a run down lakefront lodge, but there are stipulations attached, that she is uncertain about. Once moved, she finds that her new neighbors are quite eccentric and full of interesting personalities, each one becoming very special. As time goes on, Cora begins putting pieces of her life back together, while making decisions that could change her life forever. 

   I loved reading On Moonberry Lake, so much so that I did not want it to end! This story was so heartwarming and full of charm. Though it is listed as a contemporary romance, I found that it wasn’t centered around solely romance, which was really refreshing. I enjoyed reading about Cora’s life and all of the new experiences she faced. I loved getting to know each character and following along, as if they were real friendships coming out of the book. This has truly been one of the best books I’ve read in a long time, I highly recommend!

Sundown - Book Review

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   Sundown by Susan May Warren is a contemporary romance about a woman being rescued from an Alaskan blizzard. She appears to be troubled and it's uncertain if she can be trusted, especially after the Sky King Ranch of Alaska is visited by thugs who are looking for her. The truth needs to be uncovered to prevent a further disaster from happening, all the while, keeping everyone protected. 

 

   This book has a lot of suspense and will keep you on edge wanting to know more. Although, I had a really hard time getting into reading it, which is probably due to needing to have read the first two books to this series. I didn't realize that Sundown was a trilogy to conclude the before Sky King Ranch stories, but it is an interesting story all together. The characters are well written and it's an adventure of a story, especially in this time of the world. But I recommend you start the series from the beginning if you want to read :) 

   You can find Sundown available for purchase on Amazon or in a book store near you.

The Lost Melody - Book Review

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   The Lost Melody by Joanna Davidson Politano is a bit of a historical romance set in the Victorian era, about a young woman named Vivienne Mourdant, a concert pianist. When her father dies, Vivienne inherited everything of his, including a patient at the Hurstwell Asylum. With a memory of the face, but no knowledge to who this person is, Vivienne sets out to see what she can find. Things start to become hazy when she is told this person doesn't exist in the Asylum and never has. She starts to wonder if she is becoming mad, hearing music no one else can hear, receiving notes with rose petals between them, and uncovering secrets everybody denies. Vivienne knows in her heart, that there is more to this, and she refuses to give up. Do you think she will find the answers she needs to know? You have to read the book to find out!

 

   After reading, this book has stuck with me throughout the weeks. It was such a different kind of story than I have read before. It felt a little spooky with mystery, yet it was beautifully written, without the focus on romance. Reading about Vivienne's experiences, with glimpses of her childhood past and hopeful future, really made me respect her as a person. She was brave and strong, even when you expected her to crumble. Getting a look into a Victorian era asylum was also very intriguing to read about. Though the story started slow and confusing, it definitely picked up and was worth the read.

   Interested in reading The Lost Melody? You can find it available for purchase on Amazon or a book store near you.

The Secrets of Emberwild - Book Review

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   

The Secrets of Emberwild by Stephenia H. McGee is a historical romance set in the 1900's, designed around a struggling horse farm and a woman who wants to be the trainer. Nora Fenton's father passed away and left behind quite a big job to deal with, but Nora was passionate about horses and loved their farm, hoping she could convince others, that, even though she is a woman, she can handle it all. She enters her prized Colt into the races, runs into dishonest family members, and meets a man named Silas Caballero. Silas not only wants to help Nora train the horses, but his main focus is to solve the mystery of how his own father died. He asks a lot of questions, trying to put pieces of the puzzle together, he begins to find himself admiring Nora. While they are working together, they start to uncover secrets of the past and face questionable accidents thrown their way. Everything is risky but it begins to make sense as the truth comes out. 

 

   This book was hard for me to follow. I realized that I'm not a big fan of historical reads, and though I like horses as an animal, I don't find much interest in reading about them and the races they're in. It was entertaining to uncover the mysteries that unraveled, but the story itself felt long and drawn out.

Beneath the Bending Sky - Book Review

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   Beneath the Bending Sky by Jane Kirkpatrick, is a historical fiction based in the 1800's, about Mollie Sheehan and her flow of life. As a child, she experienced many ups and downs, including having her father absent for long periods of time, due to work trips he needed to take. During these trials, Mollie began to help provide for her family, filling in the gaps while her father was gone. Taking jobs here and there, Mollie ends up falling in love with a man named Peter, who, after asking for the father's blessings in marriage of the two, Mollie finds that her father disapproves of them together. Heartbreak, sadness, and many moves, as Mollie gets older, she realizes the control her father had on her life. Things start panning in a different direction and love is once found again. This begins a life long journey of change and acceptance.

   I don't typically enjoy reading stories set in the 1800's but after pushing myself through the first few chapters, I began to enjoy what I was reading. Getting to know the characters and seeing Mollie's next step in life, had me wanting to read more to see what she would be up to next. Her respect and loyalty to her father was appreciated, as well as her determination to achieve what she wanted in life. Reading about how people survived in the past, was pretty interesting and reminded me to be grateful for how far we have come in this world. I enjoyed reading about Mollie's character because she was full of respect and compassion for others.

Dangerous Beauty - Book Review

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

    Dangerous Beauty by Melissa Koslin is a romantic suspense story about a young woman escaping from human trafficking. Traveling from Mexico to America, Liliana Vela finds herself in the bathroom of a service station, unsure who to trust, but knows this is her chance to get away. She senses danger is lurking around the corner, but a man named Meric Toledan aids in her rescue. He understands the situation and offers her an escape, with a word of proposal to keep her in the United States. Meric has his own secrets, but is full of the resources to help and possibility take down this horrible ring of traffickers. 

   I looked forward to every chance I could get, to sit down and read this book! It is full of action and anticipation, making you sit in the edge of your seat wanting to know what happens next! It's not chocked full of romance, like a lot of other romantic suspense books out there, but just enough to keep it interesting. The detail in this story was not only entertaining but also educational, and taught me a lot of things about human trafficking. I love how the story took different turns, having you think one thing will happen when something completely different does, making it unpredictable. There were ups and downs in every chapter, and it makes you fall in love with the characters. Their personalities were so well written, and following along on the journey makes you want to read more! This book was a very good read, and if you love suspense, (or even if you don't!), I definitely recommend this one.

Just.You.Wait. - Book Review

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   It seems like everybody is waiting for something, and if they're not now, then they were before or will be in the future. Waiting isn't a very fun process, especially if you feel like you have a deadline to reach. You might feel like your time is ticking and you're becoming impatient, waiting for that something. It can be stressful, full of pain, uncertainty, and loss, but if we know where to look, we can also see the positive in the waiting. 

   Just.You.Wait. by Tricia Lott Williford helps you find the hidden treasures behind waiting. She uses stories from people in the Bible, about times they had to wait on things. She shares real life scenarios of people who had to wait and gives direction to find the happiness in waiting. It's a good reminder that, even though we want the waiting to come to a head, we have to look for the great things that go along with the process. Though this book wasn't what my expectations desired, I did enjoy reading bits and pieces, and will take those reminders with me as I continue to trail through my path of waiting.

   Present Danger by Elizabeth Goddard is a romantic suspense dealing with mystery from every angle. It all starts with finding a body in the middle of a forested area, which leads to a US Forest Service Special Agent and a former FBI agent, now detective, working together on the case. With a history together, things are awkward, but they leave their past behind to focus on the current case. From murders and archeological artifact trafficking, to relationships and loved ones, this book is full of suspense and situations to look forward to what comes next.

    I really enjoyed reading Present Danger, getting to know each character and hearing how each person was connected to the other. Every chapter was full of suspense, unloading a piece of the puzzle, of who was who and what would follow each step. While I was reading, it felt like I was right there with the characters, searching for clues, trying to solve the case. The ending was quite a surprise, which made this read perfect, as it was unpredictable and never what I expected! It was so good. I highly recommend!

A Dance in Donegal - Book Review

  Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.  

 

 

 

   A Dance in Donegal by Jennifer Drivel is a novel set in the 1920's, about a girl named Moira, who promised her late mother, that she would take a teaching job in a small village in Donegal, Ireland, where her mother once lived. Upon Moira arriving to the village, she didn't get a welcome acceptance, leaving her to wonder what was the cause of this. She became the teacher as agreed to, with her heart set on helping the children of the small town. After just a short time, she grew close with a small amount of dwellers, while others treated her unfairly, whispering nonsense behind her back. Moira wondered why God lead her to this place, when she felt so unwanted there. A handful of things happened to her and her surroundings, but she remained strong and in the end, she could see just why she was meant to be where she was taken. 

   When I first started reading this book, I was afraid I wasn't going to like it, because it started out slow and confusing. But I am so glad I pressed on and read the entire story. It was so good! Each character was so enjoyable to follow along with, and gave me a sense of being right there in the Ballymann Village, with Moira. I loved reading pieces with the Irish dialect and learning how they celebrate in different ways. This was such a comforting story to read, filled with mystery, compassion, and romance. I recommend this book for a nice winter afternoon so you can cozy up and breathe in the warmth of this story.
