My Review:

I have been looking forward to Jess's story since the series' first book! A Pursuit of Home did not disappoint! While it could be read as a stand-alone novel, I recommend reading the series to best understand the friendship between Daphne, Kit, and Jess.

My Review:

I am not a fan of Western's-except, apparently, when Karen Witemeyer writes them. I love her books but kept putting off reading this series because I knew it was a Western. The Heart's Charge is even better than the first book, At Love's Command.

Title: The Blue Castle

Author: L. M. Montgomery

Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire

My Review:

The only books I have read by L.M. Montgomery are the Anne of Green Gables series. I enjoyed them as a child and have always wondered if I would enjoy them as an adult. I have had The Blue Castle on my shelf for a few years.
