The Keys to a Happy and Healthy Marriage by Joyce Meyer

Here's my review: I really wanted to like this book. Joyce Meyer is a well known author and her books often offer good advice. I was turned off by her referrals to her happy and healthy marriage. It's great that she has a happy and healthy marriage. Her husband, in her words, is a saint. I was hoping that the book would offer more practical approaches for women who don't have a saintly husband. ***There's one part in particular that I really had an issue with and could be a huge trigger for someone who dealt with trauma or sexual abuse. She states: "If you are too upset with your spouse to make love, it is probably more important to lovingly offer yourself at that time than ever before." There should be more emphasis on communication and progressing toward loving intimacy. It might just be me taking this personally but as I stated, others might find it triggering too. I was provided a complimentary copy of the book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

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!!

Let us March On by Shara Moon

Here's my review: This book was informative and interesting! I love it when authors take a piece of history and create an amazing fictional story. FDR is one of the presidents that I admire and this book showcased his leadership abilities and his dedication to the United States of America. Lizzie is an exceptional woman! She's an advocate, a confidant, and extremely loyal. She stayed with FDR literally until the end. We need more people in the world like Lizzie!
