What Romances Do I Think Are Perfect for Valentine’s Day?
With Valentine's Day this weekend, it seems only fitting to look at some great reads to celebrate the day. I probably wouldn't have thought of it if a friend hadn't said something.

My Top 10 Genre Picks for Gift Giving This Year
“My wife [daughter, sister, brother, husband, uncle, aunt, friend, cranky neighbor, insert other person here] loves to read, but all I know is they like Christian fiction.” A question like that just begs one more. “Do you know their favorite subgenre?” Insert blank look here. “What’s a Continue Reading
Is Anything Better Than Christmas at the Inn?
The Facebook post appeared. A seemingly generic post about… something. I will confess now that I might not have read it right away had anyone else posted it.

And when Liz left there to become an author, she sent me (and I assume others) an email thanking me for Continue Reading

I set it down, my thumb swiping Continue Reading
My Top 10 Anticipated Summer Reads & Why They Made the Cut
Every day it seems—twice a day, even. The post appears on Facebook, Instagram, even Twitter. “Show us your TBR pile!” Also, for those who've managed to avoid all that internet speak, “TBR,” just means to be read. Beautiful pictures of stacks of books… They make my heart sing. Oh, they do. But they Continue Reading
Where Two Hearts Meet: a book review
Liz Johnson’s Red Door Inn was one of my favorite books of 2016. So, when I heard that the next book was releasing this fall, I knew I HAD to get it, and Liz was gracious enough to send me one (and a gorgeous PEI ornament as well!). Where Two Hearts Meet might even be a better book than the first. Continue Reading
Why This New Series Is Destined to Be a Favorite
"These red roads are so peculiar!" Those words are some of the first I remember from the delightful Anne Shirley. Until I read about the red-headed orphan, I'd never heard of Prince Edward Island. I didn't know about the old-fashioned notion of "romantic" that meant more than hearts and Continue Reading
