Reach by O McCarthy (For the Stars Book 1)
It seems I’ve been on a sci-fi dystopian kick lately, and Reach is a great addition to that list! I didn’t know what to expect exactly with the mention of martian genetics, secret government plot, and chess? (I love chess, especially when I’m the one losing lol) Ratings for Reach Story: 4/5 Worldview: 4/5 Story…

Emberling by Kaytlin Phillips (The Chronicles of Uriu #1)
I’ve been waiting for Emberling for almost a whole year now, so to finally have gotten the chance to read it has been amazing! Note: I received an ARC of this book, and all opinions expressed are my own! Ratings for Emberling Story: 5/5 Worldview: 5/5 Story I am not sure if I’ve said it…

Virginia by Shannon McNear (Daughters of the Lost Colony)
When I saw this book announced, I jumped on the chance at reading Virginia. Ever since I read Rebecca last year, I loved Shannon McNear’s clear gospel message in this vibrant historical fiction series. While Rebecca does not spoil books 1 and 2 in the series, if you want to read Virginia, you might want…

Nettled: A Wild Swans Retelling by Sarah Carlisle
I’ve come to really love Sarah Carlisle’s series of fairytale retellings, especially now with Nettled. I’d seen Maeryn’s story hinted at quite a few times in other books of the series, and I was so excited when I got the chance to read an ARC before the release date of September 26th! I’m a bit…

The Caring and the Cursed (Intertwined Tales)
I’ve been reading a lot of fairytale retellings recently, and The Caring and the Cursed intrigued me because it included Puss in Boots! It’s a novella, so it was a quick read, but I enjoyed it. The book releases October 4th, 2024, and here’s a quick blurb from Goodreads: A cursed prince. A miller’s daughter…

The Shattered Ones by Brigitte Cromey (Aftermath #1)
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve read a sci-fi/dystopian book, and The Shattered Ones was the perfect reintroduction. Even though we’re looking at the aftermath of a great battle that ravaged Earth, the heart and soul of this book is so encouraging. I typically stay away from dystopian because it tends to make me…

Christian Author Testimony: A.M. Daylin
This month’s author testimony spotlight is A.M. Daylin! She’s a wonderful inspiration and a considerate friend. Her posts touch on tough topics, and I love that she’s not afraid to speak the truth. Her honesty and vulnerability in her posts has made her such an encouragement to me both as a Christian and as a…

Once Upon an Apple by Gabrielle Land
I had the pleasure of receiving an early copy of this book, and it was an overall pleasant read. 🙂 I have a soft spot for fairytale retellings, especially with cute animals! Once Upon an Apple is a cozy, sweet retelling with modern slang that makes for an interesting twist! Ratings for Once Upon an Apple…
