Top Ten Tuesday Memorable Feel Good Books

 

Happy Tuesday, and welcome to another edition of a blog link-up sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl.

I hope you guys are having some enjoyable weather, and your football team(s) are winning. We're still having 80+ degree weather with hope's of fall weather. We need rain badly, so we're hoping. 

Where the Red Fern Grows - my 5th grade teacher read this to us after lunch and it's one book I'll never forget. One of my daughter's loved it too, which has been fun.

Are You There God? It's Me Margaret - I read when I was ten and couldn't figure out what all the hoopla was regarding getting our periods. I was fine with not having it. Haha

Iscariot - When I was in college I had to write a paper about Judas, and for me, Tosca Lee's book solidified my nineteen year old thoughts regarding him.

All's Fair in Love and Cupcakes - This was my first Betsy St. Amant Haddox's novel and it was just a fun rom-com.

The Mistress of Tall Acre - Was so good, and the first review where the author said I made her want to read her own book.

This Present Darkness - Our Sunday School Class in California read this together and discussed it, which made this an experience.

Piercing the Darkness - I'd always known that prayer was important, but this book showed me that if we're not praying the angels can't do their job as effectively.

The Memoir of Johnny Devine - I love old movies, and this book was like watching one. 

The Wedding Chapel - All of the intricacies around the small town that Rachel Hauck placed in this novel made me want to move there.

Stealing Adda - This is literally a fun, and cozy book you can curl up with and relax.

I tried a different layout, and I'm not sure about it because it's a LOT of work. LOL

I'm interested to see your lists this week. I hope you have a great Tuesday and thanks for stopping by!

Top Ten Tuesday Featuring Books With Nationalities in the Title

 

Happy Tuesday, and welcome to another weekly blog link-up sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today's theme is books that have Nationalities in the titles. I was struggling until I figured it out with the help of Carrie from ReadingismySuperPower.

How was your week? Have your kiddo's gone back to school yet? We went back last week. Remember when no one went back to school until Labor Day. Some of my grands went back to school last week and others in September. 

Are you familiar with any of these? Did you find a new one you'd like to read? I sure hope so. Beside list making, I think finding a new book as we see each other's weekly list helps grow our TBR. Have a wonderful day.

Top Ten Tuesday Authors I Wish Were Still Writing

 

Welcome to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today's theme is authors you wish were still writing. This is going to be a meloncaly list. With that said, I had a fun conversation today with the receptionist at the Physical Therapy office I go to. Not sure how we got to talking about books, but we did, and she reads Christian fiction and mentioned how she missed Jim L. Rubart's writing. She's not alone. I miss his writing too. 

Frank Peretti

Jim Rubart

Sandie Bricker 

Candace Calvert

Bonnie Calhoun

Tosca Lee (Unsure. She might have a book in the works.)

Carla Laureano

William Frank Lattimore

Varina Denman

Liz Tolsma

Outside of Sandie Bricker, all of these authors might have a book in the works that I don't know about. When you get used to authors having a new book every year or so, you miss them, and I miss reading these authors.

Who do you wish were still writing? 

Top Ten Tuesday -- Favorite Quotes

 

Happy Tuesday and welcome to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday, the weekly link-up sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today's theme is favorite quotes from books, about books, about being a reader . . . etc.

I have some saved images for this, which is really good since my brain decided to go off kilter without asking permission. 

I hope you found some inspirational quotes as well as fun ones. If you haven't read the books, I suggest you give them a try. 

My absolute favorite one about reading! ↓↓

Top Ten Tuesday Books Set in Biblical Places and Times

 

Happy Tuesday, and welcome to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today's theme is Books Set in/Take Place During X (Pick a place, time, era, etc. Examples: Books set in Europe/Italy/Australia/Chicago, books set in Regency England, books that take place during the 1900s, books set in imaginary worlds/post-apocalyptic/dystopian worlds, books set on the ocean, books set in castles, books that take place during WW2, etc.) I chose books set in biblical times. They're some of my favorite reads and don't get highlighted enough.

This is book two of Mesu Andrews' David's Wives series. It releases on August 19, 2025.

I love all of the genres within Christian Fiction, but biblical fiction seems to be my favorite. It's fun seeing the character differently and through the eyes of someone else.

Have you read any of these books? Are some waiting on your TBR? Let me know in the comments.

My Blog is Old Enough To Leave Home

 

As of January 1st, my blog is old enough to leave home, go to college, and vote! When I started this blog in 2007 I was just going to keep track of my reading; I have no idea, but that was my plan. I could've never envisioned what it turned into. Nor that I would still be blogging 18 years later.

Just a few of the debut authors I read and reviewed.

Just a few debut reads, but all of them were fun and introduced me to what Christian fiction is all about. 

I know that my blogging hasn't been as active as I would've liked this year, but I'm really hoping that I'm able to get back to what I enjoy; reading and reviewing.
