Within My Heart by Tamera Alexander

Here's my review: I thought this book was excellent! It's the type of book that will stay with me for awhile as the themes were very profound. One of the main themes that really touched my heart was the theme of using your gifts to help those around you. Most of the people that live in Timber Ridge believe in helping each other out. Their sympathetic and compassionate hearts create a hometown that I'd love to live in! The characters are written brilliantly! Rachel is amazing! She's a hard working, single mother. She has the gift of healing but her past has made her hesitant to believe in her skills. Rand is wonderful! He's a doctor but he's a compassionate doctor. He actually listens to his patients and genuinely cares about them. As they start to team up to help a friend, their hearts start to open towards each other. It's inspiring to me how Rand, Rachel, Lyda and Ben pray to God and listen for His voice. "He reached deep into memory for words God had etched onto his heart years ago, and he repeated the verses of Scripture , 0ver and over, willing their promise to take deeper hold."

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. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

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!
