For a thought-provoking book that takes me for a mental ride, Erin Healy is one of my favorite authors. Maybe it’s that my brain capacity can’t take the heat, but sometimes I have no idea what Healy is working around to until the very, very end (and sometimes not even then). WOW. Her newest title, Motherless, did not disappoint!

Sex and prostitution are topics not often addressed in Christian fiction. These hush-hush issues form the backbone of Stranger Things. However if you’ll remember my review of Afloat from last summer, Erin Healy doesn’t product the typical Christian fiction books. For me, her books are eerie and unsettling. I found myself confused by some of the descriptions in the book. And all the while I was completely riveted.
Even though the book’s plot centers around the extremely dark topic of human trafficking, Stranger Things has a silver lining. [Read more…]

Just look at the cover of Afloat and tell me what emotions it evokes within you. Take your time, I’ll wait.

Before I launch into a review of The Feathered Bone, the characters in this book deserve a moment of silence.
Moving to the language arts department just gave me a good excuse to READ more books. I’ve always had my nose in a book, but now I can also scope them out for my students! In another exciting twist, my daughter is starting to enjoy some of my favorites. She’s currently fixated on the Maximum Ride series, and actually complimented me by saying, “Mom, you have the best book advice.” Someplace is surely frozen over. Reading book blogs is one of my favorite ways to stay current on all things bookish, so when I found the Top 10 of 2015 hop going around, I wanted to participate. Here are some of the best books I read in 2015. Click on the cover to find it on Amazon. What are your favorites of 2015? [Read more…]

Sorry for the lack of new posts to read over the last week. We recently moved (yay!) but don’t have internet access yet (boo!) My phone’s data plan is hosting today’s wifi access, many thanks to the great customer service at Verizon for helping me set it up! Taking a break from unpacking is made sweeter with some fun books to read. Every once in a while, I reward myself for the hard work by indulging in a wonderful piece of fiction. If you’re wondering what to read, check out these titles. Let’s start with Through Waters Deep.
Through Waters Deep by Sarah Sundin has the beautiful appeal of the WWII dramas she’s published in the past. It has a refreshing, modern beat that bears the unexpected. It slightly reminds me of the story Something Borrowed (Emily Giffin). [Read more…]
