It's Monday! What are you reading? #12 '22

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are planning to read over the week. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and add to your TBR pile! This meme is hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date. I am reading/listening to To Win Her Heart by Karen Witemeyer.

The Storekeeper's Daughter

Title: The Storekeeper's Daughter

Author: Wanda E. Brunstetter

Genre: Amish, Christian Fiction, Romance

My Review:

The Storekeeper's Daughter is the first in the Daughter's of Lancaster County trilogy. There is stuff that happens in this book that is not resolved until the third book. All three books are deeply connected.

Sea Glass Cottage

Author: Irene Hannon

Genre: Christian Fiction, Romance

Publisher: Revell

My Review:

Welcome back to Hope Harbor. I have read quite a few of the books in this series and have enjoyed them all. They can be read as stand-alone novels, but do have some repeat characters in each book.

Roots of Wood and Stone

Title: Roots of Wood and Stone

Series: Sedgwick County Chronicles #1

Author: Amanda Wen

Genre: Christian Fiction, Historical Fiction, Dual timeline, Romance

Publisher: Kregel

My Review:

Roots of Wood and Stone is a fabulous debut author by Amanda Wen. It is exceptionally well-written. There is nothing about this novel that screams "debut."

Loving Lovina

Title: Loving Lovina

Series: The Infamous Amish Series #3

Author: Patricia Johns

Publisher: Kensington Books

Genre: Amish, Christian Fiction, Romance

Source: Net Galley

My review:

Loving Lovina is the third book in The Infamous Amish series. Ideally, reading the first two books before this one would be best. It can be read as a stand-alone novel but there is a lot of backstories.

In the Field of Grace

Title: In the Field of Grace

Author: Tessa Afshar

Publisher: River North

Genre: Biblical Fiction, Romance, Historical Fiction

Source: Owned

My review:

In the Field of Grace is based on the story of Ruth and Boaz in the Bible. It stays true to the Biblical accounts while fleshing out the story. It is a slow and easy read.

Author: Jen Turano

Publisher: Bethany House

Genre: Historical Fiction, Humor, Christian Fiction, Mystery

My review:

To Disguise the Truth is the third book in the Bleecker Street Inquiry Agency series. It can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone novel, but I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series.

First Line Friday #40-To Disguise the Truth

Happy Friday, my bookish friends! Any plans for the weekend? This weekend I am planning to rest on Saturday, trying to recover from the busyness of the last week and a half...hopefully catch up a little bit too. Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line (or your link). This week I am reading To Disguise the Truth by Jen Turano.

Can't Wait Wednesday-High-Wire Heartbreak

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!
