Almost Home by Valerie Fraser Luesse

This is a delightful book! Here's my review: This book has it all! There's a sweet love story, mysterious journals, a secret treasure, and more! The themes are friendship and family. The characters are relatable and easy to like! I would have to say that Dolly is my favorite. She embraces and loves the people who rent rooms in her boardinghouse. She is the hospitality queen! Reed also became a favorite. A young army medic suffering from PTSD, he comes to Dolly's boardinghouse broken. Soon he finds healing and love. I enjoyed the journal parts of the story. Reading about Catherine's life and the various surprises that she encountered tied everything together. This is the first book that I've read by this author but it won't be the last!

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

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!

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!
