Exodus 2022 by Kenneth G. Bennett

exodus

Exodus 2022 by Kenneth G. Bennett was definitely an interesting book to read.  I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this book or not but I was surprised by it and didn’t want to put it down.  This book goes along with Joe as he tries to figure out why he is having memories of a daughter that he never had.  It takes so many twists and turns and the whole time I feel like I am trying to catch up and figure out what is going on.   The book had me intrigued from the first page right up until the end of the book.  Even as I sit here and look back over the book I am still not sure what it was about this book for me.  It was such a different type of book for me and I am so glad that I read it because it opened my eyes to a whole different genre of books to read & check out.

About Exodus 2022

Joe Stanton is in agony. Out of his mind over the death of his young daughter. Unable to contain his grief, Joe loses control in public, screaming his daughter’s name and causing a huge scene at a hotel on San Juan Island in Washington State. Thing is, Joe Stanton doesn’t have a daughter. Never did. And when the authorities arrive they blame the 28-year-old’s outburst on drugs. What they don’t yet know is that others up and down the Pacific coast—from the Bering Sea to the Puget Sound—are suffering identical, always fatal mental breakdowns.

With the help of his girlfriend, Joe struggles to unravel the meaning of the hallucination destroying his mind. As the couple begins to perceive its significance—and Joe’s role in a looming global calamity—they must also outwit a billionaire weapons contractor bent on exploiting Joe’s newfound understanding of the cosmos, and outlast the time bomb ticking in Joe’s brain.

Somebody Like You by Beth Vogt

Book Review Graphic Somebody Like You by Beth Vogt was a fun book to read.  I did spend a lot of time feeling bad for the character but at the same time I didn’t want to put the book down once I started it.  I am not sure what it is about Beth’s writing that captures me so much but it does and I wasn’t let down by this book.  In this book you go along with Haley as she struggles to deal with her husbands death along with find out that he had an identical twin brother that she never knew about.  His brother Stephen shows up to try learn about his brother because they were estranged for 12 years.  I loved watching how both characters changed over time and I was sad when it ended because like usual the characters became “real” to me.  This is a must read for everyone! Somebody Like You

About Somebody Like You

Can a young widow find love again with her husband’s reflection? Haley’s three-year marriage to Sam, an army medic, ends tragically when he’s killed in Afghanistan. Her attempts to create a new life for herself are ambushed when she arrives home one evening—and finds her husband waiting for her. Did the military make an unimaginable mistake when they told her Sam was killed?  Too late to make things right with his estranged twin brother, Stephen discovers Sam never told Haley about him. As Haley and Stephen navigate their fragile relation­ship, they are inexorably drawn to each other. How can they honor the memory of a man whose death brought them together—and whose ghost could drive them apart? Somebody Like You is a beautifully rendered, affecting novel, reminding us that while we can’t change the past, we have the choice to change the future and start anew. Beth K. Vogt

Out Of Ruins by Karen Barnett

Book Review Graphic

Out Of Ruins by Karen Barnett was an interesting book to read.  I wasn’t 100% in love with this book but I did enjoy reading it.  I am not sure what made this one different from others that I have read but it just wasn’t the book for me.  I did like Abby but for me the story tended to go slowly and I wondered what ever happened to some of the characters in this book.  I can’t really say why I wondered because I don’t want to give away any of the plot but it is definitely a historical romance book that you should give a shot if you like that type of book.

Out of the Ruins

About Out Of Ruins

Abby’s shattered faith in both God and man is challenged when the terrible earthquake hits 1906 San Francisco.

While her sister lies on her deathbed, Abby Fischer prays for a miracle. What Abby doesn’t expect, however, is for God’s answer to come in the form of the handsome Dr. Robert King, whose experimental treatment is risky at best.

As they work together toward a cure, Abby’s feelings for Robert become hopelessly entangled. Separated by the tragedy of the mighty San Francisco earthquake, their relationship suddenly takes a back seat to survival. With fires raging throughout the city, Abby fears for her life as she flees alone through burning streets. Where is God now? Will Robert find Abby, even as the world burns around them? Or has their love fallen with the ruins of the city?

The Heart’s Pursuit by Robin Lee Hatcher

Book Review Graphic

The Heart’s Pursuit by Robin Lee Hatcher was such a fun book to read.  This book was fun because I have read so many books and this one was different because of how the story goes and what goes on.  I think that is part of the big reason that I loved this book as much as I did.  It also helped that I love Robin Lee Hatchers books.  I loved both of the characters and I felt so bad for Silver and just wanted things to work out for her and her family.  I loved the characters in this book and I was so happy with how it all turned out.  If you love historical fiction than make sure you check this book out!

The Heart's Pursuit

About The Book

A jilted bride desperate to save her family from ruin.
A bounty hunter seeking vengeance for a ravaged past.
An arduous trek toward justice—or redemption.

Silver Matlock and Jared Newman know traveling together is a bad idea. Bad for Silver’s already tarnished reputation in her small Colorado town. Bad for bounty hunter Jared’s secret, single-minded mission for revenge. But Silver is determined to track down the rogue who left her at the altar and stole the last remnant of her father’s fortune. And Jared’s in a hurry to hunt down the murderer who destroyed his family—even if Silver is too distractingly beautiful for comfort.

The pair takes off over mountain and desert, past bleak homesteads and raw mining towns, hot on the trail of the two villains who took what wasn’t theirs to take. Soon supplies dwindle, secrets emerge, and suspicion leave Silver and Jared at odds when they need each other most. To confront an enemy deadlier than desert rattlesnakes and rocky cliffs, Silver and Jared must learn to forgive and trust and face the question they haven’t dared voice: What happens next?

A Season Of Change by Lynette Sowell

A Season of Change

A Season Of Change by Lynette Sowell was such a fun book to read!  I believe this is the first book I have read by this author and I honestly can’t wait to check more of her books.  I loved everything this book.  She did a great job of making me feel like I was there with the characters.  I loved “watching” Natalie as she searched for her relatives and also as she fell in love with Jacob who just happens to be Amish.  This was such a fun book and I can’t wait to read the books that are to come in this series.

About A Season Of Change

An Amish widower finds love in unexpected places.

Amish widower Jacob Miller believes it was a mistake to visit the Amish village of Pinecraft for winter vacation, especially after his daughter is struck by a car. Stranded in Sarasota until his daughter recovers, Jacob grows increasingly wary of events that unfold in his unfamiliar surroundings—including the strange curiosity of Englischer Natalie Bennett.

Natalie never thought her circus career as an aerial silks artist would end with a blown-out knee at the age of 25. She also never knew her late mother had a secret—that she was once Amish.

When Natalie meets the Millers at the Sarasota hospital, she is attracted to their warm hospitality and simple ways—and soon wonders if they can help her find her mother’s family. As Jacob and Natalie fall in love, their worlds collide. Will their differences tear them apart? Or will their love be strong enough to blend their clashing cultures?

All My Belongings by Cynthia Ruchti

Book Review Graphic

All My Belongings by Cynthia Ruchti was an amazing book.  There were so many things in this book that spoke to me.  I think the main reason I loved this book is because I saw so much of myself in Jayne or Becka.  I didn’t go through the things that she went through but I do know how she felt when she would say that she didn’t have a home.  I grew up not really having any place to call home and even as an adult I still don’t feel like I fit in.  I can’t say enough good things about this book & this author.  I also felt bad for Becka and how things were through parts of the book.

All My Belongings

About All My Belongings
