My Review:

I'm so thankful I recently discovered the Tales From Grace Chapel Inn series, as it's quickly becoming a new favorite. I adored the first title in the series, and I couldn't wait to dive right into the second, and hear all about this charming inn, and the three middle aged sisters who call it home.

Going to the Chapel is another sweet and endearing Christian fiction story, and I loved how strong the faith element is within it. I also continue to appreciate the fact that this series isn't even slightly about romance, and instead focuses around sisters Jane, Alice and Louise, and their relationship with each other and the various townsfolk who call Acorn Hill home,

In this installment, the church board is in the process of trying to hire a new head minister, and they can't seem to come to a simple agreement about anything or anyone. Acorn Hill is also getting ready for it's annual summer festival, and this will be the first year without Pastor Howard at its helm.

As the three sisters prepare for the festival, and continue to strive to make their inn a success, a new mystery starts to develop, and they are soon questioning the motives behind what seems to be a devious situation.

All in all, I adored this second installment in the series, and found myself breezing right through it. It's heartwarming, faith filled, and focuses around family and friendships and the need to follow Biblical principles even when it seems impossible to do so. All of that would already make it a new favorite of mine, but the little mysteries woven throughout this series just make it that much better, and I can't wait to continue on with book three.

Final Rating: 4/5.

I'd highly recommend this one to anyone looking for a clean, faith filled read that isn't really a romance.

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...

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Characters I'd name a child/cat/dog/car/ etc After.

Happy Tuesday guys! I enjoyed Top Ten Tuesday so much last week, that I decided to go ahead and take part again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and The Bookish, and here's the link to the main page if you're interested in becoming a part of it: http://www.brokeandbookish.com/p/top-ten-tuesday-other-features.html Today's topic is: Ten Characters I'd Name A Child/Cat/Dog/Car/ etc After, and I think it's going to be a really fun one. First, Characters I'd Name a Pet after: 1) Katsa from Kristin Cashore's Graceling: I have to start with Katsa, since it is actually what we named our adorable black and white kitten almost a year ago. She's grown so much since this picture, but this was taken right after we decided on her name. We tried several different book characters, but Katsa is the one she loved right away, and so is what we ended up going with. 2) Rose from Richelle Mead's Vampire Academ...
