MY REVIEW I knew I’d love  In Love’s Time  before I even read one page beneath the beautiful cover because I’ve adored everything I’ve read by Kate Breslin. I love her writing style and the heart behind it. One special feature in this book is that Jack and Grace (from Not by Sight) are secondary characters I loved ‘seeing’ again.   I haven’t read many stories that include settings of London and Russia and enjoyed being transported there. But the main aspect of a story that pulls me in are the characters, and Marcus and Claire certainly did that. They felt authentic and were easy to love. And oh, my do I love a starting over/second chance story.   The tension was spot on, I loved the focus on faith, and the emotions and romance are believable and satisfying. And revisiting characters from previous books is like revisiting old friends.   First Line:  Would the human destruction never end?  Genre:   WWI, Historical, Christian Fiction Author:   Kate Breslin Page Count:   400   #CoverLoverB

  ABOUT THE BOOK Discovered floating in a basket along the canals of Venice, Sebastien Trovato wrestles with questions of his origins. Decades later, on an assignment to translate a rare book, Daniel Goodman finds himself embroiled in a web of secrets carefully kept within the ancient city and in the mystery of the man whose story the book does not finish: Sebastien. MY REVIEW This book is as wonderful as I expected! Reading a book by Amanda is more than enjoying a good story, it’s an experience. And if you enjoy dual timelines, this one is done in a unique and flawless way—think of a book within a book.   I enjoyed being transported to Venice and it was effortless to connect with Sebastian, Vittoria, Daniel (and others.) I love how Daniel and Vittoria worked together to find answers on his quest for redemption. (And a story that includes a bookshop and people with a love of books is always an added plus for me!)    All the Lost Places  makes me feel all the feels, see all the places,

MY REVIEW I'm So Glad You Were Born: Celebrating Who You Are  shares how happy parents are that their children were born and celebrates a child’s dreams, qualities, and individuality. Each child is divinely designed and there are so many reasons to love every aspect of their lives.   The book is so beautifully illustrated, with colorful and lively drawings of diverse characters with unique abilities and gifts. I love the lilting rhymes and the festive, affirmative atmosphere the book conveys. And there is a presentation page in the front of the book for gift-giving.   All children are blessings. It’s so important to instill love, passion, appreciation, and wonder into their lives and this heartwarming book helps us do that. I plan to read this to my grandchildren often to remind them of how special they are and how happy I am that they were born.   First Line:  It’s time to celebrate wonderful you.  Genre:   Children Author:   Ainsley Earhardt Page Count:   32 Reading Age:   1-7
