Book Review of Tidings of Comfort and Joy by Davis Bunn

Book Review of Tidings of Comfort and Joy by Davis Bunn

A short and sweet story with a vintage flair and plenty of gentle Christmas spirit. My rating: ★★★★☆   A sweet, gentle story set in the aftermath of WWII, this book has just the right blend of characters, plot, and barely-there romance.

Book Review of Ticket to Tomorrow by Carol Cox

Book Review of Ticket to Tomorrow by Carol Cox

Faith, romance, and international intrigue at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. My rating: ★★★★☆   In a lot of ways, this was a fairly typical Christian historical romance. It delivered what I was looking for—not a breathtaking read, but a satisfying story. However, there were a few reasons it caught my interest:...

Book Review of The Sound of Light by Sarah Sundin

Courage and sacrifice meet in an unfamiliar part of WWII. My rating: ★★★★☆   Germany, England, Russia, Japan—I know all the familiar areas of the WWII maps. But Denmark? Not so much.

Book Review of A Name Unknown by Roseanna M. White

Fascinating characters worth rooting for, simple faith worth remembering, slow and steady transformation worth rereading. (And it’s about books!) My rating: ★★★★★   First of all, this book was about books! I have a very soft spot for protagonists who are writers. It’s such fun to see a character portray my own...

Book Review of Born of Gilded Mountains by Amanda Dykes

Book Review of Born of Gilded Mountains by Amanda Dykes

A beautifully lyrical tale of restoration, courage, new beginnings, and the power of friendship. My rating: ★★★★★   Another beautiful story from Amanda Dykes. She’s become an auto-buy author for me, but I made myself wait instead of preordering Born of Gilded Mountains so I could buy it in person at an...
