I always eagerly anticipate the newest release by Jaime Jo Wright, simply because she is a masterful writer with stories of suspense and surprise that are truly unmatched, especially in the Christian genre. “The Lost Boys of Barlowe Theatre” contains all of her signature trademarks that her fans know and love, yet is still a unique and page-turning story that I couldn’t put down.

Are You Ready For Christmas Reading!? Guest Review by Hayley
“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
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 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

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
Destined To Become A Classic Coming Of Age Story
This book… I’m certain it’s destined to become a classic, truly. It’s so multidimensional, it has so many different elements of living life and growing up and finding your place in the world… and it somehow manages to speak to readers across the board, regardless of our experience, age, past, or present. “The Best Summer Of Our Lives” is the newest release by Rachel Hauck, and I hands-down describe it as a work of art. Continue reading
A Unique, Heavy, Beautiful Experience – Guest Review by Hayley

“The Words We Lost” is the latest gem from Nicole Deese. It’s a powerful and unique reading experience for many reasons.
Can You Believe, The Ninth Hope Harbor Novel Is Here!
My summer would not be complete without a visit to the seaside town of Hope Harbor, ‘where hearts heal… and love blooms.’ (And where Charlie’s fish tacos make my mouth water with every mention!) Irene Hannon has been writing these stories for 9 years now, can you believe it? Yes, “Windswept Way” is the 9th annual installment in the “Hope Harbor” series, and we have already been promised that a 10th novel is in the works for spring of 2024. (Hurray!) Continue reading
