All about books!
This is a brilliant, practical and well written book to help us Christians love out our calling on the earth. Wendy Mann is a great author. I am always cautious when starting a Christian theological book. I often find them heavy and to be honest, dull instead of inspiring. This was not the case with […]
I decided to re-read this novel because I wanted to watch the BBC adaptation, His Dark Materials, and I felt I needed to revisit the story before watching it. I first read this trilogy as a teenager, and can’t remember much of the story. I have mixed feelings about the book. The storyline itself is […]
This short little book was brilliant! Only 90 pages long, but it helps focus and motivate our prayers for our children. Each chapter is two pages long and focused on one bible verse. This is broken down into five points to pray in to. This book was concise, helpful and engaging. I used it to […]
What a brilliant, historical fiction novel! Set is 1922, Carroll takes us on a journey from London to Egypt, to break the curse of King Tut himself. I loved this novel from the first page, and read over 200 pages in one sitting. I loved the characters. This is a book aimed at older children, […]
What a brilliant book! This is the first book by Natalie Brand that I have read and I highly recommend it! This is a fabulous book for all women out there. Brand is easy to read, and this book is full of biblical truths that we can apply to our busy lives today. Crazy But […]
This is the first novel by Shari Lapena that I have read, and I am pleased to report that I enjoyed it! This thriller has a tense storyline – a couple go to their neighbour’s for dinner, leaving their baby alone in the house next door. The baby disappears during the evening…what happened? Who took […]
I chose this book because I saw one of my book friends had read it and enjoyed it. I’m going through a “thrillers” reading phase at the moment, so it took me a little while to get into this one. I didn’t find this a quick read, and although I enjoyed it, I didn’t love […]
I picked this book up at the library as I had seen a few of my book friends had read this novel and really enjoyed it. I wasn’t sure what to expect – I was presuming it would be quite dark with some witchcraft thrown into the mix. I was pleasantly surprised that although the […]
Wow. What a book. What a story. This is quite the debut novel by Samantha Downing. I loved how this was written. The story is narrated by the husband, and how they became serial killers is written in such a way, it seems like an accidental, fun hobby. I found myself liking them one moment, […]
This is the second novel by Karen M. McManus and it is just as good as her first – One of Us is Lying. I really enjoyed both novels, highly recommend them both! I can honestly say I devoured this book. I basically read it in two sittings. Sure, it wasn’t a particularly challenging read, […]
