pickStarted reading in the Florida sun, finished with 2" of snow on the ground back at home in Indiana. I marked this book up really well for discussion with book club. Wonderful story. Loved the Easter eggs for long term RJG readers with tidbits from other series mixed in. "... he's [God] been working extra hard and long on a hero for me who will surpass my expectations."
How to only read 57 pages in 120 minutes... Be easily distracted by overhead traffic...
pickFirst in a series and a fast read, this contemporary romance has themes of forgiveness and family. The background was original - lobster fishing industry - and well researched, and the setting enchanting. While there are typical romance tropes, there‘s some depth and insight, too - especially regarding grief & loss/illness of a parent. There are also underlying Christian tones, making this a clean and chaste romance. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 / 5

“Grief is such a strange thing. It ebbs and flows like the tide, lying in wait only to roll in when we least expect it…And while it's fresh, the tide won't go out. It'll sit and stir on the beach, always there. Always evident."
I‘ve been missing my dad fiercely today. I‘ve no idea why today - it has been over 3 years and there‘s not a looming anniversary. Then I read this and felt it in my core. I wasn‘t expecting this book to be so insightful.
pickThis is a quick read for me. It is one of my Grandmother's books. It was a sweet book to read. I love the characters and the faith content too!!! I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
After The Nightingale, I was looking for something a little lighter. I chose this one because I have the second in the series on my shelf. I borrowed this ebook from my library and will be able to check off my first series read for #serieslove2023. Not sure it fits the bill for “light”, as the main character‘s mother is very ill. ❤️📚
pickThis is another one of my Grandmother's books, I did enjoy reading this book a lot!!! I enjoyed the characters a lot!!! I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars!!!

The Moonlight School shines a light on adult literacy. It's based on the true story of Cora Wilson Stewart set in the hills of Kentucky in 1911. Highly recommended.

pickWould you swap houses with strangers? It‘s not something I‘d do and West isn‘t happy about it either. His stepfather offers West‘s Colorado home in a swap with a family from Arizona for Christmas. Swim instead of ski on Christmas?!? Will West have happy holidays?
