If you‘re looking for a sweet enemies to lovers romance filled with faith, this could be your next read. I loved how these two MCs worked through their problems. As always with this author, the faith element comes through clearly without any browbeating. Why not give it a try? #inspirational #contemporary #romance

New month… new Bible study. I‘m starting this one today. I just finished her study through the book of Romans. It was easy to work through in the time I have each morning. And if for some reason I had to pause, it was easy to pick it back up and continue. The blue journal is for writing the scriptures down so that I can hopefully remember them better. The green journal is for answering the study questions because I don‘t like writing in workbooks.

Second Chance Serenity by Jessica Ashley was a lot of fun to read. Again, I didn‘t want to put the book down and sped through it pretty quickly, despite the fact that I did, in fact, have to put it down often. :/ I‘m moving on to the next one in the series now…

#justkeepreading #suspenseromance #cleanread #readmorebooks #inspirational

I recommend this one if you enjoy inspirational suspense romance. I really didn‘t want to put it down. Like… Really. Didn‘t. Want. To. #cleanread #suspenseromance #readmorebooks #inspirationalromance

Started reading this yesterday and have not been happy having to put it down. 😆📚 Good stuff! #currentlyreading #suspenceromance #cleanread

This was a good story but took me a little longer to read through than I expected. I liked the hero and heroine. The antagonist was cleverly hidden, too. I never suspected until the moment the truth was revealed. It‘s a clean read with a good balance of romance, suspense/mystery, spirituality, and growth. The only thing I didn‘t like was several instances of repetition. Also, I have a love/hate relationship with epilogues.

I‘m starting a 6 book collection. “Seaside Cowboy‘s Second Chance” is the first one in the series. I‘ll probably spend a while getting through all six. #justkeepreading #suspenceromance #inspirationalromance

Really enjoyed this novella! I need to get more books by this author. I usually like there to be some romance involved in a story, but this one was just fine without it. The action and adventure were gripping enough to keep me interested in what happened next without being overly graphic. And it‘s a clean read.

I‘m in the middle of this one right now and am pleasantly surprised. She‘s a new author for me. #currentlyreading

The antagonist was so strange. But the hero and heroine were great. I loved the way they interacted with each other. The romance was sweet in the middle of something pretty twisted. This presented an interesting twist itself. If you like multi-cultural, inspirational suspense romance, then I recommend this book to you. #readmorebooks #suspense #inspirational #romance #multicultural #standalone

Have you read it? I can‘t wait to read book 2.

I‘ve been trying to work my way through Offshore Ambush by Sherri Wilson Johnson. Decided after struggling through 25% that between the predictability and the heroine‘s extreme mood swings that didn‘t make sense to me, it wasn‘t worth the hassle. I hate not finishing a book… #dnf #readmorebooks #keepreading

I‘ve been enjoying this series by Jessica Ashley so much. It‘s hard to find the right balance when it comes to Christian suspense romance and I think she‘s nailed it. This series tells the stories of several brothers who run a search and rescue business. They are unique individuals with a variety of similarities which I‘d expect from close-knit family. The heroine in this one was amazing and admirable. Can‘t wait for more!

…And here‘s the rest of my TBR stack for this month. I‘m looking forward to reading these two series since they‘re in my own broad writing genre (fantasy). I‘m still in the middle of Eden, too, but I‘m not the target audience so I‘m struggling to get through it. #readmorebooks #justkeepreading #TBR

I rarely post a TBR list because I‘m often changing my mind about what to read next. So many books… But here‘s what I just added to my stack, as well as my current read. #readmorebooks #readingcommunity #tbr #currentlyreading #suspenseromance

I‘m so excited to start this study in June. It‘s my #2025nfbookchallenge. I always start the year strong with whatever challenge I set for myself. Then comes March… I‘ve been struggling to finish my nonfiction choices, but I‘m pretty sure that won‘t be the case here. I loved the documentary which brought out some excellent discussions. #readmorebooks #nonfiction #spirituallife

I‘m not sure how this one will go. The premise sounded interesting. I also think the cover is nice. It‘ll be fun, I hope, to read another fantasy novel. #justkeepreading #readmorebooks #yafantasy #cleanreads

A Surprise Harvest Bride by Wendy Klopfenstein turned out to be a lovely novella! I was so happy to find a new author to check out. This book was sweet, clean historical romance. I loved the characters and the steady plot. The MCs actions were believable and the heroine‘s determination was inspiring. #readmorebooks #historicalromance #cleanread #ReadingCommunity

I‘m starting this book today by Wendy Klopfenstein. It doesn‘t have an ISBN, so I‘m hoping it‘ll still count toward my Goodreads reading goal. #readmorebooks #ReadingCommunity #historicalromance

I tried. I really did. And since I‘m looking for new-to-me authors, I hoped to find another favorite author to follow. This book could definitely have been worse. The content was pleasant enough in general. It was clean up to the 30% mark. I even kinda liked one of the secondary characters. (Continued in comments) #dnf #readmorebooks

Happy Mother‘s Day! Jael is my favorite woman of the Bible. She‘s only mentioned once, but what a powerful once!

#5JoysFriday Thanks for the prompt @DebinHawaii

1. Time spent with my daughters and granddaughter

I have a lot to be thankful for, praise God!

#writerslife #alwayslearning #read #study #learn

My husband and I read this one together. We really enjoyed it and found it helpful, encouraging, and insightful. If you‘re looking for a book to learn more about grace, what it is, and what it means for the Christian, then I highly recommend you check this book out. I originally chose it because I enjoy listening to the author‘s podcast, Things Unseen. I recommend that, too.

#2025nfbookchallenge #recommendsday #readmorebooks

I started reading this years ago and never got past the first couple chapters. I can‘t wait to dig into again and learn something new. This months #2025nfbookchallenge choice is Bird by Bird by Anne Lamont.

I‘m also doing a study on the book of Romans with my youngest daughter. It makes me happy to see her digging into scripture by choice. I opted to study along with her so that we could discuss.

#readmorebooks #nonfiction #writerslife

I found this book used and enjoy the author‘s podcast. I thought I‘d check it out. It‘s been on my shelf for a while. Since I‘m up far too early, I‘m starting it. I‘m still trying to figure out if the Shakespearean insult mug is a result of careful planning for balance, or, more likely, happenstance. Coaster by my daughter. Warm cinnamon toast milk in my mug. #contentment #2025nfbookchallenge

The nonfiction book I chose to focus on this month for my #2025nfbookchallenge is the 1689 London Baptist Confession. I think it‘ll be interesting to learn about the history of the denomination I was raised in. So far, I‘m finding it excellent. The statements are clear, considering the lingo from that year differs just a bit from today, and the many scriptures used to back each statement are solid.

I‘m not sure why but I can‘t add the snapshot of my review. I really enjoyed reading this, even though it took me over, a year to get back to it. The questions at the end of each chapter made me think about what I‘d read and I got to journal my way through. I know this will help me get a better grasp of theology. I recommend it to Christians looking for a better understanding of this topic. #2025nfbookchallenge #theology #keepreading

Starting this book today by recommendation. Hoping it‘ll help me sort through the mess that is my diet. #2025nfbookchallenge #tbr Has anyone here read it?

I‘m am SOOO enjoying this book! The pastor and associate pastor of my church recommended we all check it out. I thought I‘d add it to my #2025nfbookchallenge but instead of trying to cram this massive tome into one month, I‘m just going by chapters. I should finish it in April or early May. I love how each chapter is easy to understand and includes a memory verse, hymn, and contemporary worship song, as well as thought questions. #readmorebooks

It took longer to read than it should have, but it was well worth it. If you‘re looking for a guide to being a better church member, this is an excellent resource. John Owen backs everything up with scripture so you aren‘t left wondering whether the points are truly biblical. Highly recommend! This is part of my personal challenge to read more nonfiction this year. #2025nfbookchallenge

My reading goals this year are to read at least 100 books. I wanted to make more of an effort to read nonfiction as well so I challenged myself to read one nonfiction book per month related to either theology, biography, or writing. I met the goal this month when I finished Tozer‘s “Divine Humilty”. The next book will be a challenge of challenges since I have been trying to read it for over a year. #tbr #nonfictionnotables #theology #christianlife

I loved how this book made me really consider several things more closely than I had before. The way Tozer speaks/writes is super easy to understand. He stayed on topic and made several powerful points which lined up with what Scripture itself teaches. I‘d recommend reading it if you‘re interested in increasing your understanding of the Christian life and faith.

This is my nonfiction autumn book stack…unstacked! 🤣 I‘ve had these on my shelf for a few months. It‘s time to dig in. #autumnreads #nonfiction #Christianbooks I‘m also getting back into reading the daily Bible study periodical Tabletalk. Always good stuff in there!

“Beautiful things only thrive in the light.” So true, imo. I‘m reading through a few books in The Nutfield Saga right now and have enjoyed them so far. Not quite five stars for this one yet, but it‘s still a possibility. #cleanreads #inspirational #suspense #romance.

“If we fix our minds on the holiness of God, the result might be disturbing.” I think Sproul was right. It‘s a heavy topic. But after a break, I‘m back into this book and looking forward to our next study group discussion. #readmorebooks #nonfiction #imlovingit

This book was a pleasure to read. Sweet, clean, with faith underlying the actions of the MCs… And there were enough little things to figure out and twists in the plot to make the story hold my interest. It was a win for me. #inspirational #historical #Americanwest #cowboysandschoolmarms

I‘m starting this one again. Loved the fast pace of the plot and that it‘s a clean read. #cleanread #inspirational #suspense

“I was compelled to leave the room. A deep, undeniable summons disturbed my sleep; something holy called me.” - RC Sproul #whatsnottolike #greatbeginnings #amreading #currentlyreading - My daughter and her ex got this book (a wonderful collection, actually) for my husband and me for Christmas. I read chapter one and can‘t wait to see what‘s next.

My husband and I are working our way through this book together. So far it‘s been a good book. #thefamilythatreadstogether #readaloud #nonfiction #spiritualliving #religion

I finished this book today. I found it strangely sweet for a suspense romance. The action and suspense were there and believable enough to enjoy the story. There were some moments which were obviously not mirroring what would happen in reality, but I still enjoyed the story. The author also did a good job of weaving faith into the characters‘ lives without being preachy.

I won this book in a giveaway the author hosted. I can‘t wait to dive in! #suspenseromance #cleanread
