Friday Reads

Black question marks on yellow boxes on blue background

I've been increasingly burdened by the thought that even though what I post to my account is not always an endorsement of a book's content, I still need to be careful in vetting the materials beforehand.

After being burned by three books now (two of which have appeared in past Friday Reads posts, and one in an Instagram story), I am a little gun-shy about sharing books I have not yet read. At the same time, this defeats the purpose of a Friday Reads as I don't usually read the books prior to posting them (unless I solely stick to re-reads).

I'm a little raw after these bad reading experiences, but I don't want to limit myself from trying new books either. As a result of feeling somewhat subdued this week, I'm open to suggestions of solidly good Christian books if anyone wants to share them. If the book happens to be available on Kindle Unlimited, that's great; however, I can also see what my public library has available.

This will be one of the few times I don't have something lined up, but I'm (understandably) feeling cautious. I want to be edifying toward others, and am recognizing that this extends to my reading choices and what I share. If I don't end up finding any new reads this week, I'm fine with that too as I can always catch up on other titles 😄

Review: The Marriage Goal - The Reluctant Romantics #4

Review: The Biblio Diet

Over the years, I've had the joy of reading many books on health and nutrition, partly a product of some studies I've done on it and also due to personal interest. As a result, I'm always intrigued when there is a Christian perspective on this subject.

Review: Anytime - Mayberry University #3

This is it! Anytime by Kristina Welch is the third book in the Mayberry University series where we get to encounter students with a heart for Jesus and a passion to serve Him wherever He calls them. In this opposites attract new adult romance, we meet Janie and Mav who are like day and night in their personalities and temperaments in every way, except in their love for God. Many thanks to the author for providing a complimentary copy of this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own. Content to be aware of: While Anytime could be read as a standalone, this is a heads up that there is a lot of terminology that is dependent on the previous books, especially around the university itself with all of the lingo and the nicknames for the characters. A man's shirt is also removed and there is talk of skimpy clothing. Book Synopsis Rigid productivity queen, meet prank-loving chaos monger. Can he wait for God to lead the way? Can she stop trying to map it all out...
