Top Ten Tuesday: Books Still in My Summer 2019 TBR

Tuesdays seem to roll around very quickly and it’s another Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Books in my Summer (well, technically Winter for me) 2019 TBR are, as always, overwhelming and we covered a lot of them last week, so I’m taking a leaf out of my friend Katie Donovan‘s book and sharing nine (not ten because it would have made for an unbalanced look!!) books I’ve yet to read from the first half of this year. Rest assured they are in my TBR and I will be working my way through them! I’m …

Bookchat with Amanda Barratt

Amanda Barratt has captured the imagination of readers with her newest release, My Dearest Dietrich: A Novel of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Lost Love, penned with painstaking research and attention to detail to capture on the page the love story between Dietrich and Maria that blossomed shortly before his imprisonment and execution by the Nazi regime in 1945. I’m thrilled Amanda has taken the time to share about this powerful story – one of love, sacrifice, and faith.

Top Ten Tuesday: MOST ANTICIPATED RELEASES DURING THE SECOND HALF OF 2019

Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday post, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. These are ten books I’m excited about that release before the end of the year, but not all the books I can’t wait to read! Two other highly anticipated reads that release this year haven’t been formally revealed (cover and/or synopsis), so I won’t be stealing their thunder here! But do look for Ronie Kendig’s Brand of Light and Susan May Warren’s Ford later in the year. I’ve read the former and it is AMAZING!

I was planning on this list being books I was yet …

Bookchat with Natalie Walters (with giveaway)

There’s something special about introducing my readers to a debut author! Maybe it will be a book match that will last a lifetime 🙂 Natalie Walters’ debut novel, Living Lies, the first in a new romantic suspense series, Harbored Secrets, released last month and is garnering some great reviews. A military spouse and mum to three, Natalie lives and writes in Hawaii, creating dangerous scenarios for her characters! I hope you enjoy ‘meeting’ Natalie as she shares about her debut novel and provides some book recommendations!

Thanks to the generosity of her publisher, Revell, we are giving away a copy …

Bookchat with Robin Jones Gunn (with giveaway)

While I was a little too old to be the target audience for Robin Jones Gunn’s Christy Miller series, I first fell in love with Robin’s novels when I stumbled across her Glenbrooke series – the original editions – many years ago! With 100 books to her name and over 5.5 million sold, Robin is a beloved name in the Christian publishing world having touched so many lives with her stories. I’m honoured to have Robin chat with us today about her new Haven Makers series, beginning with the just released, Becoming Us. Enjoy this chat with Robin and …
