The Number of Love by Roseanna M White Review
Title: The Number of Love
Author: Roseanna M White
Series: Codebreakers book 1
Chapters: 33 plus epilogue
Pages: 370
Genre: Christian Historical fiction
Rating: 5 stars
The Number of Love is my 12th book by
Roseanna M. White. I first discovered her books with Ring of Secrets the first
book in the Culper Ring series when I was on a Revolutionary War fiction
kick. And since then I've been hooked on her books looking forward to
each new book. Roseanna's writing makes the settings and characters come
alive. I had never read an WWI historical book till her A Name Unknown. I found things to
relate in each of her characters to relate to.
But I hadn't seen myself in
a character till Margot De Wilde. Take away the mathematics and being
able to quickly break code Margot could be me. The socially awkwardness feeling
older than others your age. Where Margot turned to math and codes I
turned to books.
The reason Margot is such an
easy character for me to find myself in is because of something that
happened to her in the book (I won't go into it because it will spoil the book)
in Chapter Seven is because the same thing happened to me in almost the same
way it happened to Margot. This was the chapter that had me crying while
reading a book for the first time in a while. I thought reading about that in a
book would bring up painful memories but instead it allowed me to finally
process it as I read about Margot trying to process it. Though it hurt to
see a beloved character in pain I am thankful that Roseanna included that
event in the book. Because sometimes it is easy to process things through
a work of fiction than through the pages of real life. I have to say that
Drake has become by second favorite hero of Roseanna's nothing's going to knock
Barclay out of favorite though.
The Number of Love gives a brief look behind the lines so
to speak at the people who helped fight the war without setting foot on a
battlefield the code-breakers. That even those at home were helping
to fight the war.
Like all of
Roseanna's previous books this one is well researched. Though with all
the languages involved in this one I feel like even more research
went into this one. And as always I look forward to the next book
in this series as well as catching up on reading the books of hers I have yet
to read.
I recommend
this book to anyone who loves historical fiction, Christian historical fiction
or books set during WWI. Though I don't think there's many historical fiction books
set during WWI. I also recommend reading her previous series first Ladies
of the Manor and Shadows Over England as characters from those books make
an appearance in this one.

The Toughest
Puzzle She'll Have to Solve
Might Be the
Wishes of Her Own Heart
Three years into the Great War, England's
greatest asset is their intelligence network--field agents risking their lives
to gather information, and codebreakers able to crack German telegrams for
hints of the enemy's plans. Margot De Wilde thrives in the environment of the
secretive Room 40, where she spends her days deciphering intercepted messages.
But when her world is turned upside down by an unexpected loss, she discovers
for the first time in her life that numbers aren't enough.
Drake Elton returns wounded from the
field, followed by an enemy who just won't give up. He's smitten quickly by the
quick and brainy Margot, but soon the dangers of the war draw ever closer.
Margot and Drake will have to team up to save themselves from the very secrets
that brought them together.

Review of When Life Doesn't Match your Dreams
Title: When Life Doesn’t Match Your Dreams: Hope
for Today from 12 Women of the Bible
Author: Jill Eileen Smith
Pages: 224
Genre: Non fiction
Rating: 4 stars
When Life Doesn’t Match Your Dreams is the first non-fiction book
by Jill Eileen Smith. In which she looks at 12 women from the Old Testament to
give Biblical examples of what happens and what you can do when life doesn’t
match your dreams. The Lessons that one can learn from each these twelve women,
what to do and what not to do.
Whatever state of life you’re in
as a woman, whatever age there is something in this book for you. There is some
lesson that is just for you. Each woman
who reads I feel will take away something different from the book.
I myself is looking at a life
that didn’t got the way I dreamed or planned but after reading When Life Doesn’t Match your dreams, I
trust even more that it went the way God planned it even there were a few
detours and tears along the way. Everything we go through in life good or bad
works out for our good.
I received a
copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive
