IT'S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING? 28.4.14

Welcome to another Monday at FHC! After a 24 hr stretch of Dewey's Readathon on Saturday I had a fair amount of sleeping to catch up on. I had tackled 375 pgs of THE OUTCAST for my own reading [as opposed to reading for review]  my usual tendency to catch up on reading, so it really was a reading break for me. A well organized readathon with over 800+ readers and a lot of great mini challenges throughout to inspire creativity  keeping us alert and awake! My results and challenges HERE - my participation HERE * My reading completions this week included Canadian author, Emily T Weirenga's heart touching debut novel,  A PROMISE IN PIECES -  #17 in Quilts of Love series

My Saturday was spent with this amazing novel  and so not disappointed!  Jolina Petersheim writes authentic characters and a story that captivated emotions and intellect.  Definitely pleased to add this to my 'read' list.
Raised in an Old Order Mennonite community, Rachel is a strong-willed single woman, content living apart from mainstream society until whispers stir the moment her belly swells with new life.  When the life of Rachel’s baby is at stake, however, choices must be made that will bring the darkness to light, forever changing the lives of those who call Copper Creek home. *

I completed reading last week + posted my review of Tamera Alexander's epic new release, A BEAUTY SO RARE, last evening. Just click title to read my thoughts and the publisher's synopsis.  Book 2 in the Belmont Mansion series, definitely stand alone, so no worries if you, like me, missed the first. Though now I will be chasing
A LASTING IMPRESSION down asap! *






* What's up for this week? Posting a couple of reviews and,
I always cringe to name a title, because life can change that intention so quickly, but I do hope to get into SINCERELY YOURS.  

Historical novellas from four outstanding storytellers, four young women find their lives altered after each receives a letter that sets her on a new path toward a changed life--and perhaps lifelong love.
* I'm anticipating the new release of the amazing Jessica Dotta's 2nd in the Price of Privilege series, MARK OF DISTINCTION.

I'm also anticipating it in my postbox! Totally grateful to have won a copy from the author's Release Party invitation to post about it!  Thank you, Jessica ! * London is said to be the glittering jewel of society, a world unto itself—but to Julia Elliston it is a city of shadows. Her life is swiftly dissolving into scandal. And in Victorian society, even a whisper of scandal—substantiated or not—can be the death of a young woman’s reputation.

Another anticipated package is a win from the author, Katie Ganshert ~ Thank you!

* A Broken Kind of Beautiful  by Katie Ganshert Fashion is a fickle industry, a frightening fact for twenty-four-year-old model Ivy Clark. Ten years in and she's learned a sacred truth -- appearance is everything. Nobody cares about her broken past as long as she looks beautiful for the camera.

* I look forward to hearing about your Monday reading - successes and anticipations !
