A Worthy Rebel by Jody Hedlund

     I loved the suspense and heartache in this book.  Izzy is fleeing from all she knows and pretends to be someone she isn't in order to heal from an injury.  Cole falls for her as she is healing and in hiding and wants to all he can for her.  Unfortunately when the truth comes out, they both have a lot to work out as they have both began to care for each other.  On top of everything, there is a revolt going on and they are both on seemingly opposite sides.  I loved reading and could not wait to see how it all turned out.

Died in the Wool (A Knit & Nibble Mystery) by Peggy Ehrhart

     I am new to this series and requested to read it based on the cover.  I enjoyed reading this mystery and seeing how the group came together to solve the murder.  It was interesting to see how the put together the clues and I will probably go back to read the first one.      I received a copy to read from the publisher, the review is mine.

A Rumored Fortune by Joanna Davidson Politano

     I enjoyed reading this book and seeing how Tressa handled those who came acting one way and really wanting something else.  She and her mother had to find a way to keep things going at their estate when her father died, leaving the family fortune hidden somewhere.  Tressa had to figure out who to trust and and what her father did with all their money.  I liked seeing how Tressa reasoned things out and wanted to find the fortune as well.      I received a copy of the book from the publisher, the review is my own.

The Daily Question for You and Your Child: A Three-Year Spiritual Journal Diary by WaterBrook

     An interesting and interactive journal that allows you to capture memories as well grow in faith.  I have enjoyed what I have seen so far and look forward to seeing what is yet to come.  I also think that it will be interesting to look back on what was written in the future to see how things have changed over time.  I liked too that if I miss a day, than I just pick up and will make sure to try and match days for the future readings.      " I received this book from the publisher as part of their book launch program, the review is entirely my own."

Hidden Among the Stars by Melanie Dobson

     Hidden Among the Stars tells the story of how Max Dornbach helped out some Jewish friends during the time of Hitler's reign of Germany.  He agreed to help hide some valuable items and also helped to hide a Jewish woman.  Unfortunately the German soldiers come and find out about the hidden treasures.      The story continues in present day when Callie finds an old book that draws her into a story from the past.  This helps to draw her out as well and she soon uncovers information from the past and changes her life as well.         Wow, I really enjoyed reading this story of past and present.  I quite enjoy learning about history from fiction.  It gives me an insight and the desire to learn more as this story did.  A great read.       I received a copy of the book from the publisher, the review is entirely my own.
