The Someday List by Stacy Hawkins Adams


The Someday List: A Novel (Jubilant Soul)The Someday List: A Novel by Stacy Hawkins Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this it was a good read. I was not happy about the way it ended. And there is a sequel but it does not continue their story it moves on to focus on another person. I need to know what happened in their marriage.  There are some holes in the story that are not filled but it does not kill the storyline.

Steppin' Into the Good Life by Tia Mccollors


Steppin' Into the Good LifeSteppin' Into the Good Life by Tia McCollors
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book really made me think about the choices we make in our lives.  Shelia was so sure that she had everything she wanted but she did not know what GOD wanted for her. When she started to walk in her faith so many doors opened up for her. I read every word of this book. I would caution you to read the first book if you want the whole background on Shelia.

Faith (Brides of the West #1) by Lori Copeland


Faith (Brides of the West #1) (HeartQuest)Faith (Brides of the West #1) by Lori Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. Faith and sisters decide to become mail order brides to secure their futures. Faith arrives in Deliverance, TX and there is drama from the very start. The stage breaks an axle and she arrives to meet her rich husband and the rest of the town dirty and hot.


I am going to read the three other stories in the series because I really enjoyed this book. This is a  historical romance with Christian undertones so there is no steaminess and that is okay because it is not needed.

Reinventing Leona






This is a Christian fiction novel so there is not cussing or sexual content. And I found that I enjoyed it anyway. The book is not preachy by any means. It was a great story, there is sadness and there is triumph.


What I liked about this book?
That it was about survival and finding your place in the world. I loved Leona'a resolve and her ability to land on her feet. She stood up for herself when it counted most.  Her old evil mama was a hoot though.

What I did not like?

IT was kind of slow. I found myself wishing they would hurry up and get to the good part. Or whatever was next. However, I am inpatient.

How the book could be improved?

I wish the author would have extended the book past the point where it ended. I don't want to give away the ending.
