I Remember Them

 

I was given this book by NetGalley and BooksGoSocial in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. 

I wanted this book, I Remember Them, to go on and on. I can see by other reviews that there are a few more that feel the same. 

The author, Juanita Campbell Rogers, has a gift in writing and making the reader feel like they are right there in the story. I will be looking for more books by this author in the future. 

If for Any Reason by Courtney Walsh

In this book, If for Any ReasonI, Courtney Walsh goes to Nantucket. Emily Ackerman has inherited her grandfather's house, so this means she must go to a place that she has not been in 18 years. While there, she finds her friend from when she was a child, Hollis McGuire, a former professional baseball player. Emily also uses her time here to find answers about her mother's death many years ago.
I love the story of Emily's late mother. The reader is taken on a trip through time from the years 1989 to 2001, when Emily was a teenager through young adult. The love that was there from her mother was undoubted and was evidenced in the letters the mother wrote to her. 
I recommend this book to lovers of contemporary Christian romance or anyone who enjoys Courtney Walsh's books. 
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. 

Becoming us

Becoming Us by Robin Jones Gunn is the first in the Haven Makers Series. It follows a small group of 5 women who join in a friendship, some willingly and some with trepidation. I loved the group, however, I felt the worry of one member, Emily. Her small family's future is uncertain, so she feels uncertainty in joining a group of women, who in other circumstances, would fill a void she feels in her life.
This book takes us through challenges that many can relate with. I felt that the characters were created with thoughtfulness and love. This helps to make each one someone that I was eager to get to know. I look forward to reading other books in this series and I highly recommend it.
I was given this book by the publisher but the review is all my own and my honest opinion.

Book Review: Renovating the Richardsons

I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Set in Goose Creek, Kentucky, Millie Richardson is renovating a Victorian house in a B and B. Al, her husband, spends his time writing the checks for this project. Susan, the new veterinarian has settled in and found a new boyfriend, Justin.
Things go along as usual for a little while, but never for long. There is an inner-county softball game approaching. Millie is going to be the manager for Al's not so great team. There was hope that Justin could play but he doesn't live in town, so he is not eligible.
This, along with other happenings, seem to require Al and Millie to come to the rescue.
This book is part of a series, but it was so much fun on its own that I didn't mind that at all. I will go and check out the Richardsons whenever I can. I loved this book.

Book Review: A Tapestry of Secrets (Appalachian Blessings #3)

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Before I go into my review, I feel I need to say that I have not read the previous two books in this series. Having said that, I don't feel like I need to. The characters in this book are so rich, I began to understand them easily.
Perla and Ella have lives that are intertwined. Perla is Ella's grandmother and experiences two strokes. Each had her faces things within, such as pride, and fear. From the first I felt I understood her very well.
Ella returned to her  home when faced with uncertainty in her own life. She also had a dream for her life and over time she had to learn that God also has dreams or goals for her and these are the most important things for her.
This is worth reading, even if you have not read the previous books but now that I have, I would like to start with book one and work my way through.
