“All’s Fair in Love and Christmas” is much as it sounds. A play on the phrase “all’s fair in love and war,” the title is quite fitting, as we are presented with two workplace rivals, going head to head for a promotion, and the much-needed pay raise that goes along with it. Continue reading

A Favorite Book Of The Year – Guest Review by Hayley
My favourite books are the ones that have a little bit of everything on the emotional spectrum. A story that captures laughter, tears, love, pain and everything in between are the ones that I remember the most. “On Moonberry Lake” is definitely one of those.
It was, quite simply, a beautiful book. There are some books that just make you feel good and “lifted up” when you read them. For me, I found that this book evoked a sense of calm that was just what I needed at the time. Which, oddly enough, is much like the theme of the story itself. People come to Moonberry Lake, and find just what they need to heal their hearts. Continue reading
Worth Its Weight In Gold!
Have you ever read a non-fiction or how-to book where one of the tips or teachings inside just stood out to you, and you were like “if that was the only thing I gained from this book, it would still be totally worth my time and money”? Well this was the case for me with a new guide to cooking – but I kept saying this same thing over and over and over again about nearly every page! Which means, basically, that this book is priceless and should be read by everybody who intends to ever cook anything in their lives… Continue reading
This Story Is Like Beautiful, Everyday-Ordinary Poetry
What an unexpected, beautiful story this was, oh my goodness! “The Wind Blows in Sleeping Grass” by Katie Powner is one of the most heartfelt books I’ve read in awhile. I cried, I laughed, I could barely put it down to go to sleep – seriously. Continue reading
A Fascinating Saga Begins
And just when I thought I couldn’t love Kimberley Woodhouse’s books any more than I already did…. She releases a showstopper called “The Secrets Beneath”! This story is truly incredible, both for it’s unique portrayal of paleontology in the 1800s and it’s richly drawn characters that never cease to surprise. Continue reading
A Beautifully Crafted Story
Doesn’t the title alone just capture your attention right away? It did for me! “The Legacy of Longdale Manor” is the first novel I’ve read by Carrie Turansky, but now I have a hankering to go back and dive into some of her previous work because, well, it is very clear that she’s an amazing and talented author. Continue reading
Challenging – But So Worth It
Each and every title in the Moody Bible Studies for Women has been a special blessing for me in one way or another, and the newest addition to the series is no exception. “Promises Kept: 5 Old Testament Covenants and How Christ Fulfilled Them” by Courtney Reissig takes us deep into the Old Testament as we unpack what the far-reaching word ‘covenant’ really means, and how it applies to the promises God made to His children. Continue reading

Another Memorable Saga Concludes
Deep sigh….. that’s how I always feel when I close the cover for the final time on a series that I spent many hours with. “Summer in the Spotlight” is the third and final story in Liz Johnson’s “Prince Edward Island Shores” series, and it is rather bittersweet to know that I will no longer be following the saga of the Ross brothers and “their girls”. Continue reading
Susie Finkbeiner Hits A Home Run
Susie Finkbeiner has a way with words that is all at once nostalgic and hopeful, artistic yet simplistic, raw and so very tender. Published by Revell in the summer of 2023, “The All American” is a charming story that you won’t want to miss. The Hardings felt like my neighbors by the time I reached the mid-way point, and by the end they had become family. Continue reading
