Reader Friday ~ The Bad Boy of Butterfly Harbor
This week I picked up a book I’d been meaning to read for a while. It’s a Heartwarming title – The Bad Boy of Butterfly Harbor by Anna J. Stewart, and I knew it’d be a good read. More about my take on the story later. I used to write for Heartwarming. I’ve always loved the message of hope I always get …

Reader Friday ~ Bread of Angels
Oh, wow, between getting back from ACFW in Nashville and getting my edits finished, I didn’t have time to read ANYTHING this week, so I’m falling back on a book I read a week ago.

Reader Friday ~ These Healing Hills
I probably wouldn’t have bought this week’s book, These Healing Hills by Ann Gabhart if it hadn’t been an ACFW Book Club selection. Not because Ann isn’t a fabulous writer, but I just don’t usually read historicals, especially if they don’t have a mystery attached to them. But boy, I’m glad I did! I was ever so pleasantly surprised! I couldn’t put the book …
