Book Review: An Uncommon Courtship by Kristi Ann Hunter- YOU NEED THIS BOOK!!!!!

 I.LOVED.THIS.BOOK. 

Period.

I found myself reading this way past my bedtime, and then contemplating getting up EARLY so I could read before I had to teach. Considering my love of sleep and hatred for mornings this should tell you how GOOD this book was!!!

This book centers around a couple who is forced into marriage, without knowing each other or really having met but one time. It's set back in the early 1800's in England, and focuses on the younger Hawthorne brother, Trent.  I love books like these, were strangers or people who barely know each other have to get married and then you eventually watch them fall in love. I think especially since something like this would never happen in our day and time, it's even more fascinating.

This book went back and forth between Adelaide and Trent's point of view, and it was so well done! Usually it's hard to go back and forth between two different minds but the author did such a great job, it was seamless.

One thing I wasn't expecting about this book; It was funny!!!!! I laughed out loud numerous times, and I'll just tell you right now that Chapter 26 had me LITERALLY Slapping My Knee in laughter! (Apparently i'm an 80 yr old Grandpa) I found the characters very relateable because the things they were thinking and the awkwardness was completely things that I would think! I appreciate characters in books that aren't cookie cutter. The Author really had a way of making them real, NORMAL people. And I loved that!

This is the 3'rd book in the Hawthorne series but it can completely be read as a stand alone. However you won't want to! I loved this book so much that even more I finished it I was on my Library's website placing holds on the two previous books in the series, and the bonus Prequel Novella. I read all 4 in less than a week, and honestly was sad to say goodbye to the characters!

I really REAAAALLLLLYYYYY hope Ms. Hunter is busy writing lots more books because I just feel in love with her writing!

Thanks Bethany House for providing me a free book in exchange for my totally honest opinions, and for introducing me to one of my new favorite Authors!

For Everyone else reading, if you haven't read this book, go out and get a copy! And get all of the others in the series as well! You won't regret it! And if you live near me, I'm happy to loan you mine!

Happy Reading!!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
