Composing Amelia

5/5

(This book deals with depression and marital communication issues…I could not put it down once I started! Alison Strobel is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine.)

A Family of Their Own

5/5

(I really enjoyed the twist this story had, dealing with children with illnesses. It was an engaging story!)

Yuletide Hearts

3/5

(This was a super quick read, but I felt like I grazed the surface of the characters. There were certain aspects of the story I would have liked more if the author had expanded a little.)

90 Minutes In Heaven

3/5

(I expected this book to be more like Colton Burpo’s book… but only the first fourth of the book focused on Don’s trip to Heaven. The majority of the book chronicled his recovery- not a bad story, but just different than I was thinking it would be.)

Game of Love

4/5

(I probably would have rated this one 5/5 but the epilogue was so incredibly cheesy and unrealistic that I downgraded it. Sad smile The story itself was interesting and entertaining.)

Code Blue

4/5

(It was fun to get back into the medical genre and see some characters from Richard Mabry’s later books. I haven’t had time to sit and read a book in one day in a month. Thank you Christmas break!)

The Forest Ranger’s Husband

5/5

(This book had tears running down my face multiple times, and that’s hard to do. The author has a unique way of writing and drawing the reader’s heart into the story. It was fantastic!)

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me

4/5

(As a long time “The Office” fan, this book was fun to read. I really enjoyed learning more about Mindy’s early life and how she came into acting.)

Sing You Home

3/5

(I enjoy the majority of Jodi Picoult’s books. This one was harder for me to get into due the topic, but Jodi is known for writing on controversial topics!)
