Susanna's Midnight Ride is a unique story covering

Susanna's Midnight Ride is a unique story covering a little known revolutionary war hero. It definitely made me curious about Susanna Bolling and the part she played in the Revolutionary War.
The story discusses the war in a very real way, and doesn't shy away from many of the hardships endured by those waiting at home (and a few from those away fighting).
Though there are definitely some minor content concerns in the story to be aware of, it's an interesting story about Susanna Bolling and her heroic ride to warn Lafayette about a kidnapping plot.

Normally I only posted photos of the books I review, but I figured I'd share this video from my other job (@kennarose_official) that kind of explains why I care about good clean reads so much. It's part 1 of a multiple part series talking about how entertainment is influential. Check it out, and let me know what you think!
Also, I promise there will be new reviews soon! I have just been incredibly busy. 🙃

The Sinking City(by @christinecohen_author ) is on

The Sinking City(by @christinecohen_author ) is one of the most solid books I have read, meaning that the world between the covers seems like it could very well be an alternate reality: Venice, Italy kept afloat by spells.
The quality of the writing is superb, and you end up rooting for, and caring for, the characters.
But it is indeed a "fairytale with teeth" as the author said.
And I think that's part of what made it so real.

The second and final book in the Amazing Tales of Max and Liz is the Dreamer, the Schemer, and the Robe. Max, Liz, Kate and Al are given a mission to help Joseph. Full of Biblical truth, humor and adventure, the Dreamer, the Schemer and the Robe is a great read.

The first book in the Amazing Tales of Max and Liz

The first book in the Amazing Tales of Max and Liz is the Ark, the Reed, and the Fire Cloud. It's a fictionalized account of Noah's Ark from the animals point of view. It's a fun, humorous, deep adventure.

My newest review is up, and you better believe it's Epic! Comprised of eight (soon to be nine) books, the Amazing Tales of Max and Liz and the Epic Order of the Seven series (written by @jennyl.cote)are definitely worthwhile reads.

Happy Easter! He is risen! I'm grateful to my Lor

Happy Easter! He is risen!
I'm grateful to my Lord for rescuing me.
Matthew 28:6a "He is not here; he has risen"
Romans 5:6-8 "For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. "
I've not reviewed these books, but I've read several of Patricia St. John's books. She beautifully illustrates what happens when Christ comes into brokenness.

It's Good Friday! I'm thankful to my Lord and Savi

It's Good Friday! I'm thankful to my Lord and Savior Christ.
"But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted,
yet he opened not his mouth;
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent,
so he opened not his mouth."
Isaiah 53:5-7
I've not reviewed this book, but it seemed fitting for Good Friday. It was the book that brought me closest to crying as any book I've read. It shows how the gospel changes and shapes lives through the tragic yet beautiful story of a young girl named Mary and her basket of flowers.

The second book in the Half Upon a Time trilogy is Twice Upon a Time!
The biggest content concerns in this series are the attitudes of the characters and God's name being taken in vain (happens three times in book 1 and that's all).

This week's review is for the Half Upon a Time Trilogy, written by @jamesrileyauthor!
I enjoyed this series. It isn't written from a Christian worldview, but it's cleaner than most middle-grade series. And it's hilarious. James Riley is a hilarious author!

Books 7 - 10 in the Nancy Drew
series are The Clue in the Diary, Nancy's Mysterious Letter, The Sign of the Twisted Candle, and Password to Larkspur Lane.
Fun fact - the Nancy Drew books are a series, but one book doesn't necessarily connect to the other. You could read book 36 before reading books 1-35.
