Book Review #5 - Red Rover Red Rover

  Thoughts: *clears throat* Sooo it's been a little bit. I did not forget about my blog, but I barely had time to breathe the last year. But we're back! And hopefully going to have regular book reviews! somebody scream at me if I stop posting again . And now, onto the review.  Wow. This book has been on my TBR list for years. I finally put it on my birthday wish list a few months ago. Low and behold, someone bought it for me! Since then, I've read it. Reread it. And rereread it. Saying it is amazing is not enough. I could go scream its name from the rooftops. But I'm an introvert so we're not doing that.  I loved all the codenames, the intrigue, the mystery, and the comedy! It is so wonderful to have a spy/comedy novel that is Christian and clean! It's like a breath of fresh air.

Book Review #7 - Emily of Deep Valley

Image
Thoughts:  *lets out a slow breath* Wow. Just... wow. I don't have words for how much I loved this book. It was truly beautiful. I've always loved Maud Hart Lovelace's work. I'm an avid fan of her Betsy-Tacy series. But Emily of Deep Valley is truly her best one. It is exceptionally deep and profound about human emotions and struggles. I can really feel what Emily feels and relate to it.  Not to mention that it takes place in 1912, which is one of my favorite time periods ever! Author: Maud Hart Lovelace Genre: Historical Fiction/Romance Series: No. However it includes characters from the Betsy-Tacy series. Time Period: 1912 Setting:  Deep Valley, Minnesota Summary:   "Emily Webster, an orphan living with her grandfather, is not like the other girls her age in Deep Valley, Minnesota. After graduation, she longs to join the Crowd and go off to college  – but she can't leave her grandfather alone at home. Resigning herself to a "lost winter," Emily non...
