“The Brickmaker’s Bride” Book Review...

Dec 15, 2014 by

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing Judith Miller’s newest book, The Brickmaker’s Bride. This is book one in the series “Refined by Love.” I’ve read some of the books Judith co-wrote with Tracie Peterson, but this was the first “solo” book that I’ve read of hers and it was wonderful!   As is my custom, if I could ask Judith one question about The Brickmaker’s Bride, it would be — “Did you enjoy writing about the tense relationship between Ewan and Uncle Hugh?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk!            ...

“The Silent Governess” Book Review...

Dec 8, 2014 by

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing another one of Julie Klassen’s books, The Silent Governess. I absolutely love reading Julie’s books and I hope you will too!   As is my custom, if I could ask Julie one question about The Silent Governess, it would be — “What gave you the idea to write a book about a girl who couldn’t speak for parts of the book?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk!                                            ...

“Out of the Storm” Book Review...

Nov 24, 2014 by

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing Jody Hedlund’s novella, Out of the Storm. This is a prequel to her new series “Beacons of Hope” and it is FREE on Amazon Kindle!! A no-brainer in my book!!   As is my custom, if I could ask Jody one question about Out of the Storm, it would be — “What made you want to write a series about different lighthouses?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk!     From the Back Cover: Having grown up in a lighthouse, loneliness is all Isabelle Thornton has ever known–and all,...

“A Lasting Impression” Book Review...

Nov 17, 2014 by

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing book 1 from Tamera Alexanders’s Belmont Mansion series, A Lasting Impression. This is the first of Tamera’s books I have read and it was truly magnificent! I loved how she brought real life people into a historical book.   As is my custom, if I could ask Tamera one question about A Lasting Impression, it would be — “What drew you to write a series based on Adelicia Acklen?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk!                            ...
