A Pursuit of Home
Series: Haven Manor #3
Author: Kristi Ann Hunter
Publisher: Bethany House
Genre: Historical Fiction, Christian Fiction,
Source: Library
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.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is not a book I would typically read. However, it was our book club pick for this month, so I had to read it.

A Valentine From Charleston
Series: Heirloom Secrets
Author: Ashley Clark
Publisher: Story Time Press
Genre: Historical Fiction, Novella
Source: Kindle Own
My Review:
A Valentine from Charleston is only 68 pages, making it more of a short story than a novella. It is a prequel to Paint and Nectar by Ashley Clark.

My Review:
I am not a fan of Westerns, except, apparently, when Karen Witemeyer writes them. While I enjoyed In Honor's Defense, my favorite of the series is the second book, The Heart's Charge.

The Heart's Charge
Series: Hanger's Horsemen #2
Author: Karen Witemeyer
Narrator: Jeanine Bartel
Publisher: Bethany House
Genre: Historical Fiction, Christian Fiction, Westerns,
Source: Hoopla
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.

The Blue Castle
Author: L. M. Montgomery
Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire
Genre: Classic, Historical Fiction, Romance, Young Adult
Source: Own
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.

At Love's Command

Publisher: Bethany House
Genre: Christian Fiction, Westerns, Historical Fiction, Romance

My Review:
I put off At Love's Command for several years, even though I enjoy Karen Witemeyer's writing because it is a Western. If you follow me at all, you know that is not something I read much of.

My Review:
Jaime Jo Wright is an auto-read author. She is one of the few authors I have read everything she has written. Specters in the Glass House is her newest release (10/1/24). I am in awe of her storytelling skills!

My Review:
Born of Gilded Mountains by Amanda Dykes is one of those books that is hard to review. It is a book that is best to experience. With that in mind, I will review it but know that my review will not do the story justice.

My Review:
I am a huge Jaime Jo Wright fan. I know if I want a story that will keep me guessing until the very end to read her books. I don't know another author who keeps me invested in both timelines like she does! Night Falls on Predicament Avenue checked every box.
