Stacking the Shelves #67, Sunday Post #64, Sunday Salon #58

Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? This was another long week, I am wiped out. I took a long walk this morning, but I haven't decided if I am going to do some house cleaning or catch up on reviews/blogging...

First Line Friday #85-Dear Mr. Knightley

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 finally reading Dear Mr. Knightley by Katherine Reay.  

Under Fire

Author: Lynn H. Blackburn

Genre: Suspense, Romance, Christian Fiction

My review:

Under Fire is the final book in the Defend and Protect series by Lynn H. Blackburn. While it could be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel, I highly recommend reading the first two books in the series to understand the relationship between the agents.

Now That Faith Has Come

My review:

I have done several of Beth Moore's Bible Studies. So when the opportunity to join a local group presented itself, I jumped at the chance to study Now that Faith Has Come: A Study of Galatians.
