My Review:

Every time I need a break from the craziness of the current times we're living in, I seem to find myself turning to a title in the multi author Tales from Grace Chapel Inn series. While I've enjoyed each of the stories I've picked up so far, Mystery at the Inn is definitely my new favorite.

The writing is cozy and atmospheric, the residents of Acorn Hill are a hoot as always, and the inn being the setting for a murder mystery themed dinner party added an interesting element that set it apart from the many titles before it.

It was a sweet read that touches on the importance of grace, friendship and family. I love how these titles are always predictable in the sense that I know that everything will work out in the end, and sometimes those are the type of stories we all find ourselves needing every now and then.

Wonderful as always to visit with the Howard sisters at their beautiful bed and breakfast, and the fall setting was the perfect accompaniment. I'd definitely recommend this one to anyone looking for a clean and cozy read, and I love that you can read this series out of order and still easily follow along.

Final Rating: 5/5.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books . For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...
