C is for Courting by Shelley Shepard Gray


The Schrock siblings remind me of what The Boxcar children would look like if they were grown up.  The four siblings have been through a lot together but they still stick by each other despite their choices.  I love that this story centered around an unmarried, pregnant, Beth and how she handles the circumstances.  she is such a strong and independent woman but then she meets Junior and some of that tough exterior fades away.  It's so much fun to see the other siblings and grandparents in the book.  

I received a complimentary arc of the book.  The opinions are my own.

  Kroosreadsandreviews thoughts: I loved being in the Pacific Northwest in the 1890's as the characters progress towards more updates.  It was interesting to see the thoughts behind the roads that were laid and how mail was distributed.   I loved Mary and her fierce determination and resilience to survive amidst a harsh climate.   She took a lot of risks in order to achieve her dreams.   There seemed to be a lot of loose ends but maybe those will weave together in the next book? Thanks to the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.

The 5-Minute Visual Guide to the Bible by Michael Wittmer

5 stars This is a fantastic book that gives an overview of the Bible.  I enjoyed that while I was reading in the minor prophets, I could turn to the section about the minor prophets and understand more about what was happening in Amos.  I also really enjoyed how the author put a Scripture index in the back of the book to help the reader find out more information quickly.  The pictures are also stunning  throughout the book.   I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.

Reverie by Drew Taylor

 I've never read a story like this before.  It was written as a story within a story.  This at times was a little confusing for me. I really enjoyed the main characters Esme and Noah.   Noah is super flirty and romantic!  Esme has been through the ringer of life but is going forward with such strength.   There were some loose ends that should be remedied in later series.   Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.  The opinions are my own.
