 All 11 books i read this month!! Most are 5 Star Ratings,  with a Few 3.5 Star Ratings!! 

Review for Tidewater Bride by Laura Frantz

 Rating: 3.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was the 2nd novel ive read by this author so i kind of knew what to expect and might i say i did enjoy this one as much as i did An Uncommon Woman last year. 

The Characters were interesting, i just wish they werent so stubborn in the beginning of the book. 

The Setting was so beautifully described that it was easy to picture James Towne Virginia in 1634. 

Overall i can't wait to read more by this author in the future!!

Review for From Scratch by Tembi Locke

Rating: 3.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a Memoir by a wife, widow/Actress before and i wanted to love this one if it wasnt for Part 1 of this book. 

Part's 2,3 and 4 were very interesting and beautifully told about Tembi's life when she met her husband Saro and about Sicily Italy and LA California. 

 Part 1 lacked depth and interest for me, it came off as too informationalized about her personal life. 

Overall i will read more Memoir's in the future i just hope it isnt as informationalized as this one was.

Review for Behind Still Waters (Big Sky #1) by Tricia Goyer

 Rating: 5 Stars!! (Wish i could rate it 10 Stars!!) 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a book/series by this author and might i say this is MY FAVORITE Amish Fiction Series so far this year. 

The Characters were so intriguing and interesting to read about. 

The Setting was so beautifully described that i felt like i was actually in Indiana and Rhode Island with The Sommers Family. 

Can't wait to read Books 2 and 3 in this series this year!!

Review for Still Crazy by Judy Prescott Marshall

 Rating: 3.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
Thank you to Librarything for picking me to win this book in a giveaway last month and to the Author for all the goodies she sent me with this book. 

This was the first book that i felt unsure of how to rate it and what to say in the review that wouldnt hurt the authors feelings. 

The Characters were interesting to read about tho i wish the main character hadnt taken so long to tell her husband what she suspected and i felt it was dragged out too much. 

The Setting was my favorite part cause it was so beautifully described and made me feel like i was actually in Albany NY and Rhode Island while reading. 

Overall, i feel that Character Building and Storytelling needs some work. 

Can't wait to read The Inn in Rhode Island next year!!

Review for Something Worth Doing by Jane Kirkpatrick

 Rating: 5 Stars!! (Wish i could rate it 10 Stars!!) 
Review: 
Thank you to Revell for sending me this FREE ARC COPY to review for them!! I really enjoyed this one even tho it was a little different from her other books Barcelona Calling and Sincerly Yours. 

The Characters were so interesting and intreguing to read about. The Setting was so beautifully described that i felt like i was actually in the book with them between 1852-1912. 

Can't wait to read more by Jane in the future!!

Review of 1984 by George Orwell

 Rating: 5 Stars!! (Wish i could rate it 10 Stars!!) 
Review: 
This was such a facinating book that i feel like alot of people could relate to especially in today's world. 

Can't wait to read more by George Orwell in the future!!

Review for Two Steps Forward (The Deacon's Family #3) Suzanne Woods Fisher

 Rating: 5 Stars!! (Wish i could rate it 10 Stars!!) 
Review: 
Another great book in this Amish Romance Series by Suzanne!! 

The Characters were interesting to read about and The Setting was beautifully described but i wish Edith wasnt such a Nosy/Nasty Neighbor BUT that's beside the point. 

Can't wait to read more by this author in the future!!

Review for What Momma Left Behind by Cindy K Sproles

 Rating: 5 Stars!! (Wish i could rate it 10 Stars!!) 
Review: 
Thank you to Revell for sending me this FREE ARC COPY to review for them!! 

Since this was my first time reading a book by this author i wasnt sure if i'd like it or not but i LOVED this one so much especially since it covered several topics that arent talked about much anymore like child trafficking. 

The Characters were so interesting to read about and The Setting was so beautifully described that i felt like i was in 1877 Tennessee with them. 

Can't wait to read more books by Cindy in the future!!

Review for A Reckless Love (The Daughtry House #3) by Beth White

 Rating: 5 Stars!! (Wish i could rate it 10 Stars!!) 
Review: 
Thank you to Revell for sending me this FREE ARC COPY to review for them!! I really enjoyed this one which is surprising since this was my first time reading a book/series by this author!! 

The Characters were so interesting to read about and The Setting was so beautifully described that i felt like i was actually in 1865-1870 Tennessee and Mississippi with them. 

I will definately read more books by this author in the future!!

Review for Finding the Dream (Dream Trilogy #3) by Nora Roberts

 Rating: 5 Stars!! (Wish i could rate it 10 Stars!!) 
Review: 
This was my 9th book and 4th series ive read by this author and might i say i loved this one so much!! 

The Characters were so interesting and cute to get to know and The Setting was so amazingly beautifully described!! I loved how she put Historical Fiction into this one even tho she normally writes Romance Novels/Series'. 

Can't wait to read more by this author in the future!!

Review for Getting Away is Deadly (A Mom Zone Mystery #3) by Sara Rosett

 Rating: 3.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my first time reading a Cozy Mystery Book/Series by this author so i wasnt sure what to expect and i wanted to enjoy this book but this one fell flat for me. 

The characters were only OK and The Setting didnt wow me the way i thought it would. 

If Chapters 1-4 werent do boring with very little happening i would of rated this higher than 3.5 Stars!! 

Overall i will read more books by this author but this one just wasnt for me!!

Review for The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren

Rating: 4.5 Stars!! 
Review: 
This was my 3rd time reading a book by these authors and out of the 3 THIS one is my favorite so far!! 

The whole consept, storyline and setting was phenomenal and neat to me. I wasnt fond of Chapters 18 and 19 i felt like they were unecessary and should of been saved for a sequel to this book IF these authors were series writers. 

Can't wait to read more books by these authors!!
