My review:
Well, I enjoyed Northanger Abbey more than Sense and Sensibility. I think if I am really going to enjoy classics I need to listen to them on audio. That way I won't notice the long parts with no dialogue as much.

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any plans for the weekend? This weekend is super busy with opening my Free Little Library on Saturday, my daughter coming home for Spring Break, bringing two friends with her, and my in-laws coming for dinner.

The Distance Between Us was my first novel by Kasie West, but it will not be my last.
Author: Ed Stetzer
Publisher: Tyndale Momentum
Genre: Christian Nonfiction

My review:
Christians in the Age of Outrage is the second book that I have read by Ed Stetzer. I loved the first one (Spiritual Warfare and Missions), and I loved this one, which tells me I need to read more of his works. I think what "got" me with both books is the relevancy factor. Both books are needed and relevant.
Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing High-Wire Heartbreak by Anna Schmidt. It is book 6 in the Doors to the Past series, where each book features a dual-timeline period romantic suspense story set against a historic American landmark. They all stand alone and do not need to be read in order. As I was writing this post I realized it published 1.1.22, but since I have not been able to get my hands on it, I can't wait to read it 😉 I have really enjoyed the other books I have read from this series and have high expectations for this one!

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is a love freebie. I am going do books with "love" in the title.

Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing Edgewater Road by Shelley Shepard Gray. It is the first book of her new series The Rumors in Ross County. It is scheduled to release March 1, 2022. Shelley Shepard Gray is one of those authors that I try to read all their books. I can't wait to read her newest one!
