The American Queen by Vanessa Miller

Here's my review: This is an interesting and informative book! I gave it 4.5 stars because sometimes I didn't always know what the timeline was. Some parts of it are devastating, and some parts are full of hope. I find historical fiction fascinating, and I can't wait to find more information about the American Queen. Louella had a difficult and and at times horrible life. She has lost so much, and her heart is broken. She's so strong and courageous! Her people and their needs come first. She truly was royalty. The kingdom of Happy Land and its people brought messages of hope and comfort to those in need. I enjoyed the many references to faith in God. The scriptures were inspiring! Yes, this is a hard book to read, but I'm glad that authors like Vanessa Miller write these books so history can live on. Trigger warning- this book talks about hangings, beatings, murder and death.

The Higher Desire Wife by J Parker

There's a lack of Christian books available to review on Library Thing so this is one that I chose to win. It's pretty explicit in some areas, some of it actually made me blush. Here's my review: I found this book to be interesting and informative! This book outlines helpful information for women whose sexual drive is higher than their husbands. The author provides hope, advice, and even scriptures to help women as they walk this path. I found a lot of wisdom and practical ways to apply this information in my own life. I won this book from Baker Books via LibraryThing!

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!

Becoming Madam Secretary by Stephanie Dray

I really enjoyed this book! It inspired me to research this time period and the people who shaped history then! Here's my review: This is an intriguing and interesting book! Historical fiction is my favorite genre, and this book is captivating. I had never heard of Frances Perkins before. I will definitely be researching her life and the ways that she attributed to politics. She was an amazing woman who sacrificed a lot to help her country. If you read this book, let me know what you think! Jeanette
