My Review:
A Lady of Esteem is a novella that starts the Hawthorne House series. I read it after the first book, and it worked well there. However, I would recommend reading it to begin the series.

My Review:
A Noble Masquerade is the first book I have read by Kristi Ann Hunter, but it will not be my last. Her books remind me of Karen Whitemeyer and Jen Turano's books, which I also love.

I love the cover of The Girl From the Papers by Jennifer L. Wright. I happened upon it in a bookstore and read about half of the back. The storyline drew me in, and I decided to get it from my library.

My Review:
I am on a Susie Finkbeiner kick. I am trying to read all her books and every time I turn around (it seems). I learn about another one she has written. I absolutely love the cover of The All-American, her newest release. We have come, yet again, to a story that will be hard for me to explain all that I felt as I read this story.

Tessa Afshar has a way of writing that captivates you from the beginning. In Land of Silence, Afshar has taken a passage from Scripture and built a beautiful story around it while staying faithful to Scripture.

My Review:
I love the title, Stories That Bind Us, and there could not be a more appropriate title for this novel. Susie Finkbeiner tackles many challenging topics in this story. They include infertility, mental health, racism, broken families and more.

I love stories about the Titanic and I enjoy books by Mindy Starns Clark. I bought Echoes of Titanic a while back because of these two things.
