The Man in the Stone Cottage by Stephanie Cowell

I'm so lucky that I was able to read this for free from NetGalley. I will probably buy a copy so that I can re-read it. I prefer print books! Plus the cover is AMAZING! This book is wonderful! It took me on an emotional roller coaster. Cowell flawlessly combined history and fiction to create a story that allowed a peek into the lives of the Brontë family. Emily is the focal point for most of the book. She's a quirky person who loves to walk the moors. She is devoted to her family. She hides her writing because to her it's a part of her that she doesn't want to part with. Anne is sweet and loving. Charlotte is dutiful. She longs for love. The man in the stone cottage aka Jonathan is an enigma. He seems a figment of Emily's imagination but what a lovely image he paints. A handsome, lonely shepherd who walks the moors and lives in a crumbling cottage. It always amazes me when I read that almost all of the Brontë family died at a young age. Their legacy lives on through their books and books like these. I was provided a complimentary copy of the book from Regal House Publishing via 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!
