Fiction:
- A Castaway in Cornwall by Julie Klassen
- 4 Stars
- I enjoyed this one more than the Ivy Hill series, but it still wasn't up to par with the "Old Klassen" I used to adore.
- Dreams of Savannah by Roseanna M. White
- 5 Stars
- Loved it.
- The Chelsea Girls by Fiona Davis
- 5 Stars
- Davis is one of my new favorites for historical fiction, but note that is NOT Christian fiction.
- Quidditch Through the Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp
- 4 Stars
- We listened to this on the way to Medieval Times for J's 9th birthday. It's a cute and fun quick read for my HP fans out there.
- The Lions of 5th Avenue by Fiona Davis
- 3 Stars
- Very well written, but there was an adulterous, homosexual relationship that ruined it for me.
- Gentleman Jim by Mimi Matthews
- 4 Stars
- Matthews has become my new go to for sweet, clean, fun historical romance. Sometimes you just need something light.
- This one is very Count of Monte Cristo-esq. I loved it, but I'm not sure it's my favorite of hers.
- Bridgerton Collection Vol. 1 (First 3 Novels) by Julia Quinn
- 3 Stars
- Don't judge me. Yes, I watched Bridgerton and had to give the books a try.
- The books are very much like the show on Netflix: witty, entertaining, romantic... and NOT AT ALL CLEAN. Quinn would get 5 stars from me if certain scenes were quite a bit less graphic. Read at your own risk.
- Boundless (Age of Conquest #6) by Tamara Leigh
- 4 Stars
- Ok, y'all know Leigh is one of my absolute FAVORITES, but I'm not loving this series as much as I thought I would.
- That said, I still love her, and I enjoyed this installment.
- Lovely War by Julie Berry
- 5 Stars
- I'd give it 6 if I could.
- Read this book.
- Mythology, WWII, and romance? It's like she wrote this book with me in mind.
- Read it.
Non-Fiction:
- The Backyard Gardener by Kelly Orzel
- 4 Stars
- The Hubby is building me a deer-proof garden for my birthday, so I thought I'd do a little studying.
- Other than being a bit above my gardening skill level, this guide was very helpful
- The Space Between Us by Sarah Bauer Anderson
- 3 Stars
- Anderson had an excellent and timely message in this book (our book-club pick for January), but she beat it into dust and rambled a bit much for my taste.
