Review: A Revelation in Autumn

A Revelation in Autumn: Part 5A Revelation in Autumn: Part 5 by Wanda E. Brunstetter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my knock my socks off! I loved this one even more than the last if that is possible! Just when I thought things were going to connect, it went a different way and I am thoroughly excited to see what happens!

We have Luke/Eddie living with Susan/Anne and their grandparents. His memory is not coming back at all.

Meredith had the baby, a BOY named Levi. Meredith is getting along ok with herself and the baby. However, she isn't sure she can cover their expenses.

Jonah is still madly in love with Meredith and I think he is thinking about courting her!!!

Laurie and her boyfriend are engaged. They are going to be missionaires to a Native American tribe in the US.

So much going on. However what really is exciting is at one point Meredith and Luke are at the SAME hot air balloon ride thing, and because Luke was up in the balloon, Meredith didn't realize that was him. That and he had a hat and sunglasses on.

Also, Susan and Luke/Eddie are starting to really like each other!!!

Woot woot, I can't wait to see what Wanda does in the last book. I hope everyone else is enjoying them as much as I am!

I received a copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion!

Review: The Pieces of Summer

The Pieces of Summer: Part 4The Pieces of Summer: Part 4 by Wanda E. Brunstetter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Meredith and Luke's sad saga continue.

Meredith doesn't know Luke survived and Luke doesn't know who he is! What a mess. Luke's nurses call him Eddie and they are growing to like him greatly, especially I think Susan is!

Meredith is growing bigger every day with the baby's empending birth. Will she be able to support herself and the baby when it comes? Good thing she has lots of people to help! I love that about the Amish community. Makes me want to move over there! They are always so helpful and kind to each other.

Meredith's sister, Laurie has a secret of her own, although I think Meredith was thinking Jonah liked Laurie. She doesn't realize he has his eye on her! However, Luke's mom doesn't want Meredith and Jonah, or probably anyone for that matter to even think about getting together! She is afraid another husband will take her grandchild away from her.

At the end of the book, the baby is coming and they don't have time to get to a hospital! Find out what happens in the next book!!

Review: Booked

Booked: Literature in the Soul of MeBooked: Literature in the Soul of Me by Karen Swallow Prior
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Well, any book that talks ABOUT books is one I want to read. In the beginning was so with the author. Who has a young girl didn't love Charlotte's Web? I wanted to live on a farm after that and that book, along with CS Lewis's books and Little House On the Prairie books ignited my love of reading.

Then with Jane Eyre, I haven't had the pleasure of reading it, but I did get it on my kindle. So I enjoyed that. But beyond that, I got lost in her journey. When it came to the poems, I shut down. I greatly dislike poems. I am strictly pretty much fiction, unless it has to do with marriage books and devotionals.

At times, I felt as if I understood what she was saying and other times I was beyond lost. Also, there wasn't as much talk of how she came to her relationship with God. Overall, I do love books that talk about books, but maybe non-fiction is not my cup of tea, unlike others who might enjoy it!

I know though if it is on my dad's book talk show on www.kufoam.org I am going to listen!
