The Chase

 Title: The Chase

Series: US Marshals #2

Author: Lisa Harris

Publisher: Revell

Genre: Christian fiction, suspense, romance

My review:

 So, if you remember from my review of the first book, The Escape, it left you on a cliff-hanger and wanting more. Well, The Chase, picks up from that event and keeps on rolling. Again, sucking the reader into the story immediately. Usually, these types of books do fine as a stand-alone, but I would HIGHLY recommend reading The Escape before picking up The Chase.

Can't Wait Wednesday-Firefly Diaries

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. This week I am showcasing Firefly Diaries by C. C. Warrens. I love her books, they are full of edge-biting suspense and I can't wait to read this one!!! It releases on October 6, 2021. I love the creepy house on the cover...what do you think of the cover?

TTT-Next 10 books to Read

Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday! I hope you are off to a great start to your week. This week’s topic is supposed to be Secondary/Minor Characters Who Deserve More Love, but that requires way more brain power and thought than I possess right now. So, I am going to go with the next 10 books that I will be reading, not necessarily in order. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what secondary/minor characters deserve more love, or others twist on the topic.

Courageous Influence

Title: Courageous Influence: Embrace the Way God Made You For Impact

Author: (in)courage Grace P. Cho

Publisher: Revell

Genre: Bible Study/Devotional 

My Review:

But in its purest form, influence is simply the capacity to effect change in someone.

This is the third book in the Courageous series and also the third that I have read. I love the way these studies are designed and organized. I appreciate the way they are created for personal growth. You can do the studies alone, or can do it with a group. Either way, I highly recommend these studies.

What If Jesus Was Serious About Prayer?

 Title: What If Jesus Was Serious About Prayer

Author: Skye Jethani

Publisher: Moody Publishers

Genre: Christian Nonfiction, Christian Living, Prayer

My review:

I thought with the size of this book that it was going to be a quick and easy book to read. I was wrong. While you can read it quickly because it does not have a lot of pages, you would miss so much about it. This book is best to be read slowly and savor each section.

My Review:

 A Summer Detour by Denise Hunter

Allie is dreading the trip for her grandparents fiftieth anniversary party. Her family treats her with kid gloves and her parents didn't even trust her to bring more than napkins to the party. When Allie offers to drive her grandparents restored Chevy, you would think she had a record of wrecking cars and driving irresponsibly!
