Devotions for Becoming a Beautiful Woman of God by Michelle Medlock Adams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book a lot. I found myself tearing up at the author's father's special box that contained all his children's hospital bracelets. So many good things to dig into with this devotional. I was scribbling a lot into my prayer/praise/planning bullet journal. it made the journal writer in me spring to life again. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a gal's perspective on the Word. These three ladies made me smile and realize God isn't unattainable but open and ready to embrace us today, now. I am going to review more of the devotionals since my writer's brain resonates with books like this so greatly.

Received this as an ARC from the publisher in return for an honest review.

A Crafty Crime by Eryn Scott - Stoneybrook Mystery #1

A Crafty Crime by Eryn Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Stoneybrook Mystery series by Seth Scott. I am really enjoying all of Eryn Scott's books. They do resonate with me.

This first book in the Stoneybrook srperies... What a fun and refreshing read this was. I was already this reading when I realized it was written by the same author as the Pebble Cove Teashop mystery series I was so fond of. Definitely enjoying this new to me series. I'm going to continue reading and see what else unfolds. I found the main character's point of view so close to mine I had to keep on reading just to see how she dealt with her personal challenges. The mystery and whodunit was just an added bonus.

Not by Oolong Shot by Eryn Scott

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book in the Pebble Cove Teahouse Mystery series by Eryn Scott.

I always enjoy these books. The story of Asher and his human friend Rosemary always have me wishing Asher would pull a Pinocchio and become a real boy. My heart aches this couple can never find a full true love. All they get close to is a faithful friendship.

The plethora of ghosts and their concern for the town make this a real interesting read. The mystery is almost secondary. Rosemary struggled with finding the truth about who killed Asher back in the day. It is an ongoing worry of hers. She wants to help him crossover one day but they all know this is a hard thing to accept when the day might finally come.

Definitely a cozy mystery series I highly recommend.

A Death at Candlewick Castle by Emma Jameson

A Death at Candlewick Castle by Emma Jameson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Jemima Jago series by Emma Jameson.

In this book I got a bit bogged down by how much stuff was not about the actual mystery and was more about building the community. You don't usually that in book two in a series. Book one is usually spent doing that, setting the scene, building your character base. The bulk of this type of narration has me struggling through the text as if I had on mud boots slogging through a bog.

I don't mean to mean to make sound like it was a bad book. It wasn't bad. It was pretty decent. I am used to cozy mysteries being more straightforward. This one did what a lot of English (England) authors do, put more filler in than we are used to. I want to follow the mystery. Sometimes amidst the bulk of other stuff, I forget what the point of the book is.

Overall, a pretty good read. But if you want to finish fast, pick up something else. This is a book to take your time with. More for the turtle readers among us than the hares.be
