There is a theme in every post I write this week and it includes the words "it is hot" HA! So . . because
it is hot I've done a lot of reading!
Books I've Read this Week:
This really is a Timeless Country Love Story in every sense. One of the concepts I like about this book is how the characters are drawn closer to God; to real relationship with God even through some difficult circumstances. Relationships are healed; wrongs are made right and, in the end, it is a book that makes you smile. I would recommend this book to anyone - it really is a great read.
This book, over all, is written well. It walks you through the life of a young girl who faces a horrible tragedy and than walks away from all she has knows to find her own way. As much as I enjoy this book I find it a little over the top. (Yes this is a re-read) Every time I read it, I always end up thinking - "can this be real?? does anyone get to really live like this?" So, maybe a little over the top and a little unrealistic - like too many perfect things when it is supposed to be a story about struggles . . .again, the characters gain a relationship in Christ but it still seems . . .too perfect :-) I would rate this book about average - if you are looking for something to read, it is an easy read and still enjoyable!
Sorry for the small picture - I had trouble finding a picture of this one! The title is "In the Shadow of a Secret". This book comes after "The Bridge Over Flatwillow Creek" but it is not a sequel - it just has some of the same characters. It was a fantastic little book to read- the characters are very real, the story line keeps you interested, and in the end, again, good wins out. If you are looking for a feel good read - this is one you will want to try and pick up!
What I'm Reading right now:
I have finished the first section in this book and will be writing a post about it soon - I haven't started the next section as I really want to concentrate on what I've learned in the first section before moving on.
I look forward to sharing a small review on this one next week :-)
My Devotional books (which I'll pick up in the fall)
