Book Review: The Lemonade Year
Looking for a change of pace from my recent reads, the gift of book mail in the form of The Lemonade Year by Amy Willoughby-Burle filled the bill nicely. This book was emotional, complex, and beautifully written. Check it out: The Lemonade Year by Amy Willoughby-Burle is a wonderfully written story about family and forgiveness. It is not, at times, a happy story. This is not a light read – Nina’s family puts the “d” in “dysfunctional”, and the characters are all, in their own way, a bit broken. It is this brokenness, however, that fascinated me, as well as the secret the family kept (which you will likely…

Lone Star Book Blog Tour: Wickwythe Hall by Judithe Little
Why yes, it’s another book blog tour, and one my little historical-fiction-loving heart is a pitter-patter over: Wickwythe Hall, by Judithe Little. Set primarily in 1940 England as Hitler invades France, it presents a view of the war from the perspective of the moneyed – one I’m not as familiar with – as well as a bit of English military history that I was both unfamiliar with and left speechless by. Does that pique your interest? Read on for more (and check out the giveaway!)

Picked from the Texas books and authors featured on Lone Star Book Blog Tours in 2017, today we bring you our picks for Best Literary Fiction and Best Religious/Inspirational/Spiritual WHEW! Best Literary Fiction is possibly my favorite category here and there were SOOOOO many choices. THIS was an impossible choice.

Book Review: Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance
Y’all, I’m speechless. Not because this book is so amazing – although it is! No, I’m left without words because despite all the raving I’ve done to everyone (in person and online) about Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance, I didn’t finish my review of it! How did this happen? This is one of my favorite books of 2017. Read on to learn why! I read Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance book in November and to be quite honest, it’s probably the reason why I didn’t get through as many advanced review copies as I would normally read in the holiday season (including a few Christmas reads.) I just had to slow…
