A Book Review: The Vanderbeekers Lost and Found

    This week and last week were kind of rough for me, but I decided to work on my weekly post anyway. I read this gem the day after it released and the story touched me so much I just had to share it.

    There may be minor spoilers as I try to give an accurate picture of the book.

A Book Review: The Doll People

    Hello! This week I'm going to review another one of my favorite books, which I think is a perfect read anytime, anyplace! Although there have been many books and movies with similar concepts, this one stands out to me, and is definitely worth checking out.

A Book Review: Lost In Averell (Plus EXCLUSIVE interview with the author!)

    Hi, everyone! I hope you are having a good week. Today I'll be reviewing one of my new favorite books. This read was absolutely perfect for me, as it was just the type of story I love and am looking for right now. I also reached out to the author and interviewed her through the Internet, and I am so excited to add that experience to my list of interviews. A huge thank you for Tara Grayce for letting me interview her!

A Book Review: The Emerald of Wishes (Plus EXCLUSIVE interview with the author!)

    Hi, everyone. This week I got the privilege of reading and reviewing a young author's debut! It was released earlier this month, and I hope that if you check it out you'll agree that this writer shows a lot of promise. I was also able to conduct an interview with her via the web, similar to what I did with Jordyn Hadden. I hope you enjoy both my take on the book and the full interview.

A Book Review: The Silas Diary

    Hello, and I hope you are having a good week! Today's review is another one of my favorites. This was such a good read for me, not only because the narration, setting, and characters were well done, but because it gave me a new way to view the New Testament and my own Christian beliefs.

    As well as searching for new books to review, I've also been trying to figure out how to get more viewers. I would absolutely love it if this blog could become a way for you to find out what kind of books are worth your time, kind of like the media reviews on Plugged In and Common Sense Media. I would love any help you could give me, especially if you're someone who likes to keep up with a lot of book reviewing blogs or Bookstagram accounts.

    What "makes or breaks" a good book review or book blog for you? What books are you interested in? Would you want me to review books that are fresh off the market, will be released soon, or have been published for a couple of years but not gotten any attention? Do you want me to review more "classics'? What are some of the ways this blog could improve? Please let me know!

    This time I will try to make my review as spoiler-free as possible, while still navigating any issues to be aware of before reading. Since the discussion questions are meant to be used after reading, however, they will still run the risk of containing spoilers.

A Book Review: Crash Landing

    Due to all of the excitement around both the Dragon flight and the upcoming Artemis program, I thought it would be fun to include the first of a space-themed book series. I discovered this book during quarantine and I'm excited to recommend it to you!

A Book Review: The Great Historic Mystery (Plus EXCLUSIVE interview with the author!)

      I'm super excited about this week's review! Not only is the book I'm recommending awesome, but I got in contact with the author and interviewed her via the web. (Especially with all the craziness happening lately, I'm so thankful for the Internet and all the technology we're able to use!) The book review is posted first, and below that's the interview, along with a lovely photo of her. Enjoy!

A Book Review: Half Magic

    Here is another good book which is sure to be an enchanting addition to your summer reading list! This book and series is a bit older, but in my opinion just as good as Begin and its sequels.

    I've personally enjoyed this book and the rest of the books in the series, and hope it'll be a hit with fans of historical fiction, adventure, and of course, magic.

A Book Review: Begin

    As summer 's just around the corner (and summer break is happening super early for some of us), it's definitely the time to kick back and read! My first book review *insert excited grin here* is a heartwarming, adventurous tale which will hopefully become one of your new favorites.
