My Review:
Delighting in Jesus is the first book I have read by Asheritah Ciuciu, but it will not be my last. It is one of those books that touches you so profoundly that it is hard to find the right words to write a review, but I am going to do my best.
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books that Include/Feature [insert your favorite theme or plot device here] (for example: unreliable narrators, coming of age, darkness vs. light, time travel, metafiction, a specific romantic trope, good vs. evil. cliffhangers, flashbacks, plot twists, red herrings, loose ends, stories within stories, meet cutes, symbolism, etc.) (submitted by Alice @ The Wallflower Digest) I really enjoy the Marriage of Convenience trope, so that is what I am going to share about today. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.

Title: Abridged Classics: Brief Summaries of Books You Were Supposed to Read but Probably Didn’t
Author: John Atkinson
Publisher: Harper
Genre: Graphic Novel, Humor, Nonfiction, Books about Books
Source: Library
My Review:
Abridged Classics: Brief Summaries of Books You Were Supposed to Read but Probably Didn’t is not a book I would typically read. However, upon seeing the title, I thought this would be a book about classics I could actually read. I was right.
Series: Only Magic in the Building #1
Author: Emma St. Clair
Publisher: Create if Writing, LLC
Genre: Contemporary Romance, RomCom,
Source: Own
My Review:
I am starting to think Emma St. Clair could write anything and I would enjoy it. The Serendipity is the first book in a multi-author series Only Magic in the Building. I am not normally a "magic" person, but, again, Emma St. Clair, plus the fact that it wasn't talking animals, or flying people, it was more teleportation and enjoying the story for what it is.
Author: V. Joy Palmer
Publisher: White Fire Publishing
Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance

My Review:
Love, Lace, and Minor Alterations was V. Joy Palmer's debut novel. She has since written two more books about the side characters in this book.
Series: Sewing in SoCal #5
Author: Sarah Monzon
Publisher: Radiant Publications
Genre: Christian Fiction, Romcom, Contemporary Romance
Source: Own
My Review:
Betsy is the fifth (and final!) book in the Sewing in SoCal series by Sarah Monzon. While each book can be read as a stand-alone novel, I recommend reading them in order as the friends are in each book and the timeline continues to build. Otherwise, you will get minor spoilers from the earlier books.
