The Oystercatcher of Southwark by Erica Colahan

I was on the launch team for this book! I really enjoyed it! Here's my review: This book blew me away! The author's writing is phenomenal. The dual timeline kept me in suspense as I wondered what was going to happen next. It's a heartbreaking story of forbidden love, broken families, and sacrifice. It's also about redemption, the power of friendship and healing. Mary intrigued me from the beginning. Her father's love for her is apparent. She's an old soul, an artist, curious. When her path crosses with Jakob, her entire life changes. She loves him and fears him. Soon, her life changes, and she faces new challenges. I love Mrs. Oliver! Her personality is authentic. She's hospitable, compassionate, and giving. She is independent and a good provider. The epilogue is my favorite part of the book. When Mollie opened her present, my heart rejoiced! Side note: I recommend reading the author's note. It offers insight into the background of this amazing story. I was provided a complimentary copy of the book from Chrism Press. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

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
