I'm quite interested in books on health from a Christian perspective, so when I saw Fully Nourished by Brandice Lardner available on NetGalley, I requested it right away. Some of the books I've recently read on this topic have been written by men, so I was even more keen to go through content directed at Christian women. I love that this book is a balance between theory and practice, spiritual and physical health, and truth and grace.

It is such a treat to read the debut historical novel of Canadian author,  Morgan Taylor Giesbrecht ! I have heard such good things about this book and was wholly keen to delve into one of my most favourite subgenres: espionage. The Lies We Live , the first book in the Newhaven Secrets series , delivers just that and even more, so I'm looking forward to what's next for this series down the road.
