May's Books Completed and Reviewed
During May I started reading:
Church With No Walls by Noah Cleveland - A 21-day challenge to live out faith in our everyday lives and be the church.
The Green Dress by Liz Tolsma - Harriet is devastated when her best friend succumbs to a mysterious illness that has taken several family members. She and the town's new doctor are determined to find the answers.
Coming Up in June!
Redemption at the Eleventh Hour by Andrew Crown - Dismas is trying to build a new life as a fisherman, but when he clashes with a Roman centurion he finds himself beside Jesus as the events of that Passover unfold. (Read my full review HERE)
"Peter! Do you remember me from the hilltop? I'm Dismas. You introduced me to Jesus in Bethsaida, and He saved my friend's life."
Until the Mountains Fall by Connilyn Cossette - Young widow Rivkah balks at an arranged marriage to Malakhi, but finds that her rebellious bid for independence leads to regret and loneliness. (Read my full review HERE)
"Our family was built atop the ruins of tragedy, Rivkah, each brick fashioned from mercy. You will find no stones in their palms."
A Murderous Relation by Deanna Raybourn - Veronica and Stoker try to recover a jewel from a courtesan before it leads to a scandal involving the royal family, and wind up investigating murder and trying to get the prince to safety. (Read my full review HERE)
A Murderous Relation by Deanna Raybourn - Veronica and Stoker try to recover a jewel from a courtesan before it leads to a scandal involving the royal family, and wind up investigating murder and trying to get the prince to safety. (Read my full review HERE)
I do not mind admitting that the next hours were the darkest I had yet spent in that place. Stoker exhibited alarming signs of needing proper medical attention -- the most alarming of which was agreeing when I suggested such a thing.
Rosemary - or Too Clever To Love by G.L. Robinson - Rosemary is a young governess with talent and intelligence. She has already earned the friendship and devotion of her pupil, and perhaps she will earn the respect and admiration of the guardian as well. (Read my full review HERE)
For her part, Rosemary did not know what to say. She was finding the Earl's smiling response harder to deal with than the ill humor she was accustomed to from him.
Church With No Walls by Noah Cleveland - A 21-day challenge to live out faith in our everyday lives and be the church.
So for the next twenty-one days, I am challenging you to break down the walls in your life. In doing so, you'll begin to look more and more like the disciples Jesus sent out into the world.
The Green Dress by Liz Tolsma - Harriet is devastated when her best friend succumbs to a mysterious illness that has taken several family members. She and the town's new doctor are determined to find the answers.
If he didn't have many patients to see today, he would spend the rest of the morning poring over his medical books to determine the mysterious cause of Miss Robinson's illness. Still, he couldn't quite shake the notion that something was not quite right in that house.
Coming Up in June!

The Green Dress looks good.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that cover of The Travelling Cat Chronicles. It is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love that cover for A Murderous Relation---it looks so textured! And I love the quote you shared from it too. :-)

I always love the covers of the Deanna Raybourn books, I should give them a try! Looks like you had some good books last month, and I hope you enjoy next month's book list!
ReplyDeleteLisa Loves Literature's May Wrap-Up Post
Excellent book month! I have wanted to read Deanna Raybourn's books for too long. The Girl with the Louding Voice is a book I have a hardcover here on my TBR for the summer. I'm looking forward to reading your review.
