Review of Forever With You

Title: Forever with you

Author: Robin Jones Gunn

Series: Christy and Todd The Married years

Chapters: 22

Pages: on my kindle

Genre: Christian Romance

Rating: 5 stars

Forever with You picks up with Christy and Todd as newlyweds. As well as the trouble that goes on with being a newlywed. The ups and downs the good and the bad.  I fell in love with the Christy series as a teenager and I am thrilled to be able to continue  to read her story as a n adult.  

Favorite Books of 2013

 This book because it is a reminder of my teen years. I first discovered Katie when I read the Christy Miller series. But Katie was always a favorite of mine because I could relate to her more. I was thrilled when she got her own series. Finally and Forever wraps up the series pretty good but leaves it open for another book if the author wanted.

  Just a cute Historical fiction read by one of my favorite Christian Historical fiction author.

 A Sweet retelling of Snow White that I loved. I liked the retelling better than the original fairy tale.

 A cute teen read

A Sweet Christian romance in which the hero is a cowboy and a Marine

 A nonfiction that focus on the three woman of Christmas Mary, Elizabeth, and Anna
A sweet Christmas novella.


  The first two books in the Paige Alder series by my favorite Christian Chick lit author. These books will have you laughing and crying along with the characters. If your like me it will make you want to pick up your Bible as soon as you put the book down for the night.

 The second book in the Ballantyne legacy. It was an emotional read  that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. But not as emotional as the first book.  Silas will always be my favorite hero that Laura has written but Jack is a close second. 

  another emotional historical fiction read, that kept me on the edge of my seat. But so good. Another book that makes you think. I cannot wait to read the prequel and the sequel. Amber has quickly become a favorite author of mine after only one book.
 A sweet cozy mystery starring a Librarian and a sweet dog.
  The newest Nicholas Sparks book that has two different romances in it. Young and old.

Review of Sisterchicks in wooden shoes

Title: Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes

Author: Robin Jones Gunn

Series: Sisterchicks #8

 

Chapters: 24 plus epigoule.

Pages: 288

Genre: Christian Chick Lit

Rating: 5 stars

            Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes is the eighth and final book in the Sisterchicks series. In this one Summer goes to Holland to visit her pen-pal Noelle.  She makes the trip spare of the moment after she has a health scare. However it may turn out that the trip is something both women need.

            I first discovered Robin Jones Gunn as a year teen when I started reading her Christy Miller series and I have been hooked on her books every sense.  The Sisterchicks series is what I was classify as Christian Chick lit. Even though these books deal with tough issues they are the books you want to read when you want to laugh but still get inspirational and Biblical message. These books are designed for woman. 

Review of Sisterchicks on the Loose

Title: Sisterchicks on the Loose

Author: Robin Jones Gunn

Series: Sisterchicks

 

Pages: 288

Genre: Christian Chick lit

Rating: 4.5 stars

     Sisterchicks on the loose is the first book in the Sisterchick series by Robin Jones Gunn. It is Christian chick lit but it seems to be written for older women, because the main characters are older.

     Sharon and Penny have been friends for years and now in the 40’s they are going to Finland in order for Penny to find family members.

     Just like I enjoyed reading the Christy Miller series also by Robin Jones Gunn I enjoyed reading this Sisterchick novel. Robin’s novels are full of the right balance of faith, relationships and humor. I am glad that an author that I read as a teen I can continue to read as an adult.
