New Julie Lessman Novel!!!!

A Heart Revealed: (A Winds of Change Novel) is the next novel on my Must Read list!!!! Counting down the days until it arrives. Be blessed this weekend.

What I'm Reading (Or Trying To....)

I  hope I'm not the only person that reads more than one book at a time. I am actually in the process of reading two and starting on a third. So, here's my list:

 

1. Bon Appetite- Sandra Byrd (Book 2 of 3)

2. Jane Eyre- Charlotte

3. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo- Stieg Larsson

(I have been waiting for this book forever).

I will give a review when I finally finish them, lol.

What I'm Reading: A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman

I don't know where to begin. I found out Julie Lessman from a review she did on another book.  I googled her and the rest was history. I finally received all of her The Daughters of Boston books (there's 3 of them) and started  my first book Tuesday. Can I say absolutely amazing!!?!!??!! I'm not done yet but I can't help but tell others about it. I love the characters, the plot and the way she is so real about the emotions of the characters. She doesn't sugar coat it and make it extremely cheesy and romantic and she ties the word of God into it in a way that I don't feel like I'm about to go to sleep. I am normally not a fan of Christian Historical Fiction but between her and Siri Mitchell (Love her!) I might end up getting more books from this genre. It takes place in 1916 Boston during World War 1. The first book is about the oldest sister Faith.........that's all I'm telling you. There are so many dips and turns and twists so far I can't even imagine how it will end. That being said, I am very anxious to get back to the book; it is seriously awesome. Be blessed.

Miss Match- Erynn Mangum

So I am re-reading one of my favorite Christian Chick-Lit books: Miss Match by Erynn Mangum. The main character Lauren Holbrook is absolutely hilarious! Miss Match is the first book in the Lauren Holbrook series. What I love about Lauren's character is she's your normal coffee loving (sounds familiar) God fearing, Jane Austen quoting nut! Lauren has discovered her God-ordained calling: match making! and she's in serious overdrive. Lauren's content with singleness but for how long can she convince her friends she's the match maker, not them. Erynn's a genius! I won't give away any more of the plot but I can say that I am sooo looking forward to the new Maya Davis series coming out next year. The first book is called Cool Beans. The complete Lauren Holbrook series is as follows: Miss Match, Rematch, and Match Point. There's mention of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice and Emma. The perfect combination: God, Jane Austen and light hearted comedy. What more can a girl want?
