The Town of Odyssey

Continuing my trip through books I enjoyed years ago, I read "Wings of Deliverance" by Elizabeth White. It's one my favourites by her and it was great to read it again. Great characters and adventure!

I finished Calling on the Matchmaker, wonderful story! Up next for me is The Burning of Rosemont Abbey by Naomi Stephens, first time reading this author.

My latest "everything old is new again" read is "A Stitch in Time" by Cathy Marie Hake that I probably last read well over a decade ago. I'm enjoying the fun of reading it again!

I finished The Burning of Rosemont Abbey, very good. Up next for me is The Perfect Rom-Com by Melissa Ferguson. I was going to read suspense but I decided I wanted to read something light.

That sounds like fun! I'm not familiar with that author. Let me know if it's any good when you're done.

I'm planning to read "Lady of Conquest" by Tamara Leigh...maybe. I read it years ago, and now I want to read a newer book by Tamara Leigh that has a character that first appeared in this book, but I read it so long ago I thought maybe I would reread this one first. It's 400 pages, so if it doesn't really grab me, maybe I'll just call it good and read something else instead.

I just finished The Perfect Rom-Com, good story. You learn a lot about the publishing world. Up next for me is Storm Warning by Elizabeth Goddard, it is the first book in her Hidden Bay series.

Thanks for the recommendation, Laurie! I added it to my wish list for the future. Just what I need - more books to want to read.

You are welcome Catspaw! I love novels, non fiction that goes behind the scenes at publishing companies, bookstores all of that stuff. It comes from loving books, reading and bookstores like I do. I just finished Storm Warning, fantastic! Up next for me is The Queen's Cook by Tessa Afshar.

Yes, it's great to have books for booklovers like us!

I'm reading "A Rebel's Manifesto: Choosing Truth, Real Justice, and Love amid the Noise of Today's World" by Sean McDowell. It's meant for a younger audience but I am appreciating his thoughtful take on a range of topics, and his emphasis on having depth to your beliefs and showing grace when discussing challenging topics. More thoughtful conversations, less yelling angrily - a lesson so many of us can continually benefit from!

I'm reading A Winter by the Sea by Julie Klassen. It is the second book in here On Devonshire Shores trilogy, very good so far.

I have that one on my shelf but haven't gotten around to the series yet. I always love Julie Klassen's books, so I'm sure it's excellent.

For some reason I thought I posted about my current book, but obviously I haven't. I'm starting "Cloaked in Beauty" by Karen Witemeyer. It's a fairy tale/late 1800s Texas mashup, which is fun. The fairy tale is Little Red Riding Hood, and the intro has me hooked!

I just finished Secondary Target by Angela Carlisle. New author at least to me and one I will be adding to my very long list of favorites. Up next for me is Brave by Mesa Andrews, it is the first book in her King David's Brides series/ trilogy.

I recently finished Starter Villian by John Scalzi. It was fun!

I've been working my way through The Door to Altharia by Martyn McGrath. It's a Christian kid's novel and seems kinda Narnia-ish. You can tell that it's the author's first novel, but it's pretty well written.

Yesterday I finished Dawn of Grace by Jill Eileen Smith, it is a novel about Mary Magdalene. I am now reading With Each Tomorrow by Tracie Peterson & Kimberley Woodhouse, it is the second book in their Jewels of Kalispell trilogy.

I'm enjoying an old favourite - "Our Man Weston" by Gordon Korman. I know the plotline, so there are no surprises, but that's almost part of the fun of reading a familiar book. I'm still laughing, which is what matters!
