Happy Friday! The book I’m featuring this week is Within These Walls of Sorrow by Amanda Barratt I recently shared my full review (Click HERE to view) on this one but it was such an incredible read I wanted to highlight it for First Line Friday as well. Full warning: It’s a difficult read, that […]
My Review: I have spent a few days pondering exactly how to write this review and at the end of the day I still feel like there are no words I could say that would give it justice. History in its rawest form often holds truths we wish never would have happened, but that doesn’t […]
My Review: Wow I am amazed at how much this one truly sucked me in. The bond that was shared between Elsa and Hattie was truly something special and how it grew and developed as the times darkened was something powerful to witness. Despite the fact that I wanted to keep turning pages to find […]
Happy Monday! The book I’m featuring this week is The Teacher of Warsaw by Mario Escobar: There are soo many books of Mario Escobar’s that I want to read that I’m impatiently waiting for them to be translated to English. Admittedly I’ve even considered attempting a couple of them in Spanish just because I don’t […]

My Review: We all have those authors that are on our must-read list and Melanie Dobson is absolutely one of those for me, and has proven why once again with The Winter Rose. This story gripped my heart in the very beginning and held it captive until the very end. I couldn’t set it down […]
My Review: Oh, the stories that arise from hidden family secrets. This story started off with a bang, and I was immediately sucked in. The fact that the Waite sisters were twins and not just sisters, added an extra layer to the complexity and intrigue of their relationship amidst the lingering secrets that managed to […]
My Review: Not surprising in the least this was another read by Melanie Dobson that I couldn’t put down! The pace was a bit slower than some of her other reads, but the underlying questions that demanded answers kept me fully invested. I felt that the message of “history repeating itself” and the urgency to […]
My Review: Oh my goodness, this book was nothing short of amazing on so many levels! It sucked me in right from the beginning, and as a historical fiction fan I liked that it was different from your typical WWII storyline. I liked the complexity of not only the external conflict, but also the […]
