Welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by this little corner of the Internet!

Though I started blogging over 20 years ago, I will confess that I have not usually keep up my blogs for longer than several years at a time. For this blog, I have instead decided to focus on a topic that actually consumes a lot of my spare time so that I can combine my interests (and test my longevity and commitment).

This topic is of course, Christian books!

Through casually browsing Bookstagram over the past few years to glean recommendations for new reads, I see that there is a place where people can share about books, and it is celebrated. How refreshing to see a reading culture remain strong amidst many other distractions, several of which have kept me scrolling non-stop to learn about books rather than simply reading them. Since I fall into this camp, this blog can help me to get through my TBR (to be read) pile in order to actually make a semblance of a dent into it. I recognize that it is such a blessing to be able to own and access so many incredible thoughts and stories, captured as written words. As such, I am excited to delve into this new journey of also writing out my own thoughts.

My hope is that I can explore and review both Christian fiction and Christian non-fiction on here. I am prone to being a completionist who tries to read in chronological publication order, so there may be a few series on here as well. I am also pretty hashtag-adverse and prefer lists, which will make an appearance throughout the blog.

Happy reading!

Review: The Light of Stars - The Bluestocking Society #2

I am so overjoyed that I was able to read The Light of Stars by Jenelle Hovde as it was everything I hoped it would be, plus even more. I knew going into it that there would be suspense, intrigue, romance, crossing cultures, and science, but the way that everything came together was sheer bliss. A brilliant exposition into biblical justice without sacrificing any elements of the plot, the second book of The Bluestocking Society releases on July 14, 2026 and you'll want to add it to your TBR!

Review: A Brewed Awakening

With surnames like Austen and Dashwood, you know that the people of Wisteria, North Carolina are just itching for a romance to play out before their eyes. A Brewed Awakening by Pepper Basham is definitely a rude awakening for Daphne, and it's a fun journey that we get to go on as we see a small town band together to support old and new local businesses. Many thanks to Thomas Nelson Fiction and NetGalley for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

Review: Not Exactly Mr. Darcy - The Silver Teapot #1

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Carolyn Miller 's contemporary books, so discovering that she was going to have an Austen-themed series out made me want to read these books even more. Not Exactly Mr. Darcy is the first in The Silver Teapot series , promising us many Pride and Prejudice easter eggs through this family of five Bennett sisters (including a mother named Elizabeth) and all things Regency-related. It's the perfect blend of Carolyn's historical and contemporary romances! Many thanks to Barbour Books and NetGalley for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
