Darkness Calls the Tiger by Janyre Tromp

This is an exceptional book! Here's my review: Wow! What an exceptional book! My emotions are all over the place. From deep despair to a promising future, but what a road to get there. Trust is the main theme of this book. Trust in others, trust when there seems to be no hope and ultimately trust in God. The characters are written brilliantly. Kai brought tears to my eyes, tears for the pain that she endured, tears for the losses in her life, and then tears of happiness when she can finally leave her past behind and embrace her future. Ryan reminds me of Jesus. His sacrificial love for others almost cost him his life. I can't say that this isn't a difficult book to read because it is. Because of the time frame and the historical significance, there is a lot of violence. There is also hope and restoration. There's also a realistic struggle with trusting God. I appreciated the author's note in regard to this. I certainly look forward to reading the next book by Janyre Tromp. Her writing drew me in, and I read in anticipation of what would happen next! I highly recommend reading this book!

Go See America by Matt Tory

Absolutely splendid! Wow! I love this book so much! Here's my review: This is a fantastic book! It's divided into 7 regions of the USA. I enjoyed reading and learning about every place that was included. Some of them I have been to and the rest are on my bucket list. The pictures are extraordinary! They made me want to hop on a plane and go on an adventure. I hope the author writes more books like these. I won a complimentary copy of the book from LibraryThing. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Summer of You and Me by Denise Hunter

I don't like giving spoilers because I believe that everyone should read and judge a book for themself. This book is worth the time, believe me! Here's my review: Oh wow! This book is amazing! There are so many twists and turns. I thought I had it figured out and then it turns out that I didn't!! I enjoyed everything about this book. The setting of a picturesque small beach town is perfect! The cast of characters are relatable and easy to like. The little surprises that popped out here and there kept me interested and involved!!

Until We All Share Joy by Heather Wood

This is a wonderful novella! I was totally captivated by the story in its entirety. The characters are relatable and easy to like. Titan is my favorite! His compassion and gentleman-like ways are endearing. He grows so much during the book and he also helps others grow. Grandfather Gates is wonderful! He appears gruff and grouchy but he has a heart of gold. This book helped me to remember how blessed I am to have a family that loves me and to cherish every moment with them. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series!
