MY THOUGHTS:      If you've read any of my blogs, then you know I love Shanna's books. Congratulations to Shanna on her new release "Easter Bride". It's a great choice to read as we are now in Spring. The characters are fun and love-able. You'll see some familiar people especially Ruth and Matilda. I loved the plot Matilda comes up with to play matchmaker. This lady cracks me up, she is hilarious! I always enjoy the animals Shanna weaves in throughout the pages. They are fun, quirky and the names will keep you smiling. A great book and a great story!. Blessings, Karen Rating: 5* I received a copy of this book free and all opinions are my own.

About the Book Title:  The Great Lakes Lighthouse Brides Author:  Kathy Rouser Genre:  Christian Historical Romance Release date:  November 1, 2018 Publisher:  Barbour   Lighthouses have long been the symbol of salvation, warning sailors away from dangerous rocks and shallow waters. Along the Great Lakes, America’s inland seas, lighthouses played a vital role in the growth of the nation. They shepherded settlers traveling by water to places that had no roads. These beacons of light required constant tending even in remote and often dangerous places. Brave men and women battled the elements and loneliness to keep the lights shining. Their sacrifice kept goods and immigrants moving. Seven romances set between 1883 and 1911 bring hope to these lonely keepers and love to weary hearts. The Last Memory  by Kathleen Rouser 1899—Mackinac Point Lighthouse Natalie Brooks loses her past to amnesia, and Cal Waterson, the lighthouse keeper who r...

GOOD MORNING!     How's the weather where you are? Here in Oklahoma it varies from day to day. LOL!      How do you handle fear in your life? It is just a small word but packs so much within those letters - F E A R!      It can stop us in our tracks, paralyzes, controlling, stress us out and so much more. Remember-God has our back! He's not going anywhere! Others will let us down, sometimes intentional and sometimes unintentional. God will never let us down. He sees the bigger picture in our lives, He knows our future.     We just have to trust Him. Sounds easy but we know it is easy, it is one of the hardest thing to do for believers. Or, it is for me. I'm very slowly trying to just remind myself everyday when my plans don't line up with God's plans that He is perfect, His plans are perfect, His ways are perfect and His timing is perfect. I just have to trust Him in EVERYTHING!      Bible Verses to encourage ...

MY THOUGHTS:    I'm doing a happy dance! Pepper Basham's lastest book was release on February 14th entitled "Between Stairs and Stardust" Don't you just love that title? I love Pepper's books and I became a fan of hers since I read her first book "The Thorn Bearer". I have no doubt you will love her stories if you've never read any which is easily solved by reading this novella. It is a magical, over the moon sweet and delightful story. This novella is part of a compilation of four novellas entitle "Finding ever after". James is not your average hero, having to depend on a lady he's never met. Stella is needing to just keep away from others while a delicate matter is consuming her. Add a little girl, Alice, James little sister tothe mix and you have a fairy tale on the pages. I did like that James and Alice stepmother isn't your normal evil person as seen in fairy tales but a interesting one. The Biltmore is one plac...
