TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Secret Beach Boyfriend (Merriweather Island #3) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
Secret Beach Boyfriend in the newest installment from The Independence Island Series (book 3) and it did not disappoint! It can be read as a standalone. Kari Trumbo is a new to me author and I enjoyed her writing style. She brought more of the Merriweather Islands to life with great descriptions and new friends!
I loved Annie and Rafe, their chemistry was fun, engaging, and well laid out. Kari Trumbo covered some tough topics with them and integrated them in a compelling and straightforward way. From a dysfunctional family to OCD I enjoyed the dynamics of the characters and the interesting plot. A great addition to The Independence Island Series.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the creative characters, the emotional tugs, and for pointing the reader back to Christ.

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated The Moonlight School in Books
Feb 24, 2021
The Moonlight School was totally insightful and helped me learn about something I had not really thought of before. It was filled with a lot of good history, accurate details, and descriptive scenes (and I do mean vividly descriptive! I could totally see the scenes as the author described them). I loved how Suzanne Woods Fisher conveyed her characters, I thought that the characters had good arcs and that you could see them step out of their comfort zones all through the book. Their interactions with each other were engaging and realistic as well. I loved learning more about the moonlight schoolhouses and I thought that Suzanne Woods Fisher did a good job explaining the different nuances of it. I give this book 5 stars and I am so looking forward to more books from Suzanne Woods Fisher!

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated A Cowboy for Keeps (Colorado Cowboys, #1) in Books
Feb 24, 2021
Great start to this new series by Jody Hedlund!
I’ll be honest. I am a sucker for a good western story. Probably something to do with my love of that era, and Jody Hedlund brought it to life in the most adventurous of ways, through a marriage of convenience story! I liked Greta from the first page until the end, watching her grow through the story was touching. Wyatt was deep. I loved his nature and his thought process he had good insight, and a good sense of humor at times. Overall, the story is just what I needed to sit back, relax, and know that I was in for a good ride. Plus, have I mentioned the GORGEOUS cover? It is even better in person. I am really looking forward to where Jody Hedlund will take this series next.

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Being West is Best (Ginnie West Adventures, #4) in Books
Feb 24, 2021
I loved Ginnie and Tillies adventures through this series. Both characters are full of life, somewhat sassy, and imaginative. Plus, I think they portray qualities that most kids of that age display. But one of my favorite things about this book (Really the series) is that Monique Buchger uses real life situations such as dysfunctional families, bullies, etc., to show the right ways to approach a situation. I truly commend her for not shying away from the tough issues and doing it in a clean way. While this is most likely the last book in this series, I hope to see more of Ginnie and Tillies adventures in the future.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the creative characters, the themes displayed, and for leaving me smiling.

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated One Little Lie (The Pelican Harbor, #1) in Books
Feb 24, 2021
One Little Lie is the first book in the Pelican Harbor series, and after reading this one I certainly cannot wait to read the next book. I thought that the premise of this book was interesting; how one lie can turn into so much more. I enjoyed getting to know the characters in this book and I thought that they were interesting, relatable, and people I could see in real-life situations. Colleen Coble is one of my go-to authors when I need a good mystery without gory details or overdramatic scenes and she certainly came through again with this great book.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the creative mystery, the strong characters, and for keeping my attention through the whole storyline and leaving me in anticipation of the next book in the series.

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Home on Huckleberry Hill in Books
Feb 24, 2021
This was such a unique Amish book!
I loved the synopsis of the book; it is part of the reason I originally wanted to read this book. It turned out to be a great story, with a storyline I had never read in an Amish book before. Women everywhere want to be heard and loved for who they are, the Amish women are no different; it is just harder for them to show it. Jennifer Beckstrand explained the situation very well and made everything seem very plausible. She also did a great job describing the setting, the characters and their emotions. Jennifer Beckstrand really crafted a very good story about communication, forgiveness and second chances. With a little quirkiness thrown in, the Home on Huckleberry Hill is sure to be an interesting and fun read for everyone. I truly enjoyed this book.

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated The Bishop's Daughter: A Sweet Amish Romance in Books
Feb 24, 2021
A unique look into the life of the Amish.
The lifestyle and simplicity of the Amish has gained vast popularity in recent years and so many books are being written about it. Its getting kinda repetitive. This one is a very unique look at the trouble the Amish face when they are given the choice of becoming english or marrying and staying in the Amish Faith. This is the first Amish book I have read that the author does not completely agree with all the rules and orders of the Amish. It caused me to really think about the Amish faith and if I personally agreed with the way the Amish faith is portrayed.
I would highly recommend this book if for no other reason than that the author really makes you think.

Fun group of guys making the podcast feel more inviting

Can go off track slightly
Multiple voices speak at once
Any true crime enthusiast will love this podcast!
Three guys Marcus Parks, Henry Zebrowski and Ben Kissle all sit and talk about the grizzly stories of some of the scariest true crime and serial killer s of the past, they also discuss real life ghost stories and alleged alien abductions/sightings trying to stay netureal and using only sources for their episodes. All episodes are told alongside great humour and whilst going off track slightly sometimes it is always kept interesting. I want to state the bad points are not my view in particular and just feedback I have heard from other fans that I think are relevant.
Personally this is one of my favourite podcasts and I enjoy their whole network of shows which include wizard and the bruiser, abe lincolns top hat, kinda fun, page 7 and more

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Expecting Danger (Small Town Guardians Book 2) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
This is my first time reading a book by Jennifer Pierce and I really enjoyed the way she wove her suspenseful story! I was hooked from the very first chapter by the plight of the main character, I mean imagine being on the run at eight months pregnant! The characters were well done, easy to get to know, and both had good character depth for the length of the story. I thought it was a very well written book with interesting twists and turns that kept my interest easily.
It is the second book in a series, but I read it without reading the first book and wasn’t lost at all, but I am going to go back and read the first book since I liked this one so much.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars for the great mystery/suspense, for the character's interactions, and for leaving me anticipating the next book!

TravelersWife4Life (31 KP) rated Miss Tavistock's Mistake (The Brides of Mayfair #1) in Books
Feb 23, 2021
I was delighted by Miss Tavistock’s Mistake written by Linore Rose Burkard, which is the first book in The Brides of Mayfair series! Readers who like Victorian/Regency historical fiction will enjoy the flow and thoughtful attention to period detail.
Miss Tavistock was a great mix of personalities, pretty much one to match each of her “names” right until they all become one in a great character arch. She was witty, engaging, and made me smile. The Captain… Ooo… Where to start with him? He was a handsome dashing guy with a misunderstood personality right from the beginning. He grew throughout the story and finished as any Captain should. Rescuing his Damsel in distress. Truly a good cast of characters that I look forward to seeing in future books.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the engaging cast of characters, the interesting twists in the story, and the morals/themes in this book.
