"Timepiece" by Richard Paul Evans

Timepiece by Richard Paul Evans is about a couple in the early 1900's--their love, grief, forgiveness and loyalty.  It is an emotional romance between Mary Anne (David's secretary) and David  (wealthy business man) who find great happiness together but also experience tragedy, losing a child.  This is an interesting and enjoyable read including some excerpts from David's diary, but it took me a little time to get used to the writing style.

"The F It List" by Julie Halpern

T
The F It List by Julie Halpern is about two young teen girls, Alex and Becca.  Becca has Cancer and made a list of things she wanted to do.  Alex, her best friend, helps her accomplish them.  I loved this book!  I got into it and cared about both of the girls.  I liked how they handled the stuff life threw at them, and it was a lot!  Plus, it has a great ending!

The title turned Karen off this one.

"Angels Watching Over Me" by Michael Phillips

image source:  Amazon
Angels Watching Over Me by Michael Phillips is about two teen girls whose families both got killed after the Civil War. Katie is a daughter of a white plantation owner and Mayme is a black slave girl who grew up on a different plantation. Shortly after the death of their families, the two girls actually become friends and help each other. Although they have different backgrounds and different talents, they work together to protect each other, and run the plantation on their own. Mayme is practical and Katie a dreamer, but both girls open their hearts up to God and seek His direction when they find themselves in a desperate situation.

I loved this historical fiction book and look forward to the next in this Shenandoah Sisters series. It was a good page turner with likable characters and action too! The story is told from the slave girl’s point of view for the most part. I am so glad I finally found this author and can't wait to read more by him!

This is currently free for Kindle on Amazon--hurry!

"Lies You Wanted to Hear" by James Whitfield Thomson

Lies You Wanted to Hear by James Whitfield Thomson is a real good page turner!  The two main characters are Matt and Lucy.  I liked Matt but he might have gone a bit too far and I did not like Lucy, but at the end I felt sorry for her.  You will have to decide how you feel about them and let me know!  I liked the ending too!

"Chaser" by John W. Pilley is About an Amazing Dog

I give this book 4 paws way up!
Chaser--Unlocking the Genius of the Dog Who Knows a Thousand Words by John W. Pilley is the true story of a Border Collie who knows more than 1,000 words! John W. Pilley, a professor worked with Chaser and it's really something how he trained her.  LOVED it a lot!
