About Me

I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

The Tender Years

The Tender Years (A Prairie Legacy, #1)The Tender Years by Janette Oke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in My Digital Library since September 2,2016.
It is a good story about choosing your friends as a teenager even if our grandparents tell you life was simpler back then.

Once Upon a SummerOnce Upon a Summer by Janette Oke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Once Upon a Summer was free from Barnes and Noble when I downloaded it to my Nook library. I enjoyed reading other novels by Mrs. Oke. This is the best of her five I recently read for she really involves the reader in this story told from the viewpoint of 12-year old Josh and what is important to him.
I recommend it to all readers.

The Meeting PlaceThe Meeting Place by Janette Oke
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This ebook was a free selection when I downloaded it from Barnes and Noble to my Nook library. It is the fourth book by Janette Oke and third by T. Davis Bunn I read this year.
I had difficulty getting my interest piqued with the beginning and middle of the book with two main characters to be introduced for comparison and contrast. The last third became interesting and suspenseful enough; but even if your knowledge of this part of our history is from the poem, Evangeline, you know where this story is headed.
I recommend this book to fans of Oke and Bunn.

When Calls the HeartWhen Calls the Heart by Janette Oke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This ebook was a free selection from Barnes and Noble when I downloaded it to my Nook library.
I anticipated enjoying it because I already enjoy the tv series shown on Hallmark channel based on the book. There are some differences in the adaptation but this should not interfere with the reader's enjoyment.
I recommend it to readers who enjoy the genre of Christian historical romance.

The Centurion's WifeThe Centurion's Wife by Davis Bunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was free when I downloaded it to my Nook from Barnes and Noble.
It is entertaining Christian fiction. It kept bringing the 1953 movie with Victor Mature, The Robe to mind so I imagined the centurion Alban as Victor Mature in black and white.
