From the Valley We Rise by Elizabeth Musser

It seems like every other book that comes out is set in WWII. I liked how this author approached the subject, even though sometimes it was grisly. As I state in my review, I'm so incredibly thanksful for those who put their lives on the line so that others could be saved. Here's my review: Incroyable!! This story is a masterpiece in the Christian historical fiction/romance genre! It takes place mostly in Sisteron, France. The story follows the 3 main characters and how the war plays out from their perspectives. The characters are written brilliantly! Isabelle, Peter, and Rene are heroes. They all play an important part in the Resistance. Isabelle is brave, compassionate, and a quick thinker. Her quick thinking often saves her life and the lives of others. Peter is a comforter, encourager, and light in the darkness. Rene is brave. He thinks that he's not, but he is! He's loyal and trustworthy. As with any WWII stories, there are difficult issues brought up. There's murder, extreme cruelty, and more. Elizabeth Musser, though through her writing, shines a light on the men and women of the Resistance. These brave people saved many lives. Their courageous sacrifice touches my heart. It's a reminder of the verse John 15:13. I was provided a complimentary copy of the book from Bethany House Publishers via Netgalley through Interviews and Reviews.

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.

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!
