My Review:

I was really excited to read this book or more likely tell the jokes in this book. These jokes, though, are REALLY corny and I mean really corny. Its supposed to be for kids so that is a good thing, but I think that these are meant for younger kids. My 11 year old sister thought that some of these were weird. One thing I didn’t like was that some of the jokes were in the previous book which is understandable being that they were 3 books put together. I gave this book a 4 out of 5 stars.

~Book Review~ “The Calling” by Suzanne Woods Fisher

Goodreads Synopsis:

“Twenty-year-old Bethany Schrock is restless. Her love life has derailed, her faith hangs by a thread, and she is spending the incredibly hot summer days wading through a lifetime’s accumulation of junk at the home of five ancient Amish sisters. About the only thing that holds her interest is the spirited and dangerously handsome Jimmy Fisher–and he seems bent on irritating her to no end.
When the sly old sisters and a guest at the Inn get Bethany involved in running the local soup kitchen and starting a community garden, she suddenly finds herself wondering, Shootfire! How did that happen? Despite her newfound purposefulness, a gnawing emptiness about a childhood mystery continues to plague her. Encouraged by Jimmy Fisher, she will seek out the answers she craves–and uncover a shocking secret that will break her heart, heal it, and point her to love.
Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher delivers her trademark twists, turns, and tender romance in this delightful and exciting visit to the deceptively quiet community of Stoney Ridge.”

 

My Review:

I really loved this book. Suzanne Woods Fisher was able to take just a simple Amish story and make it into something with mystery and suspense. I loved the character’s Bethany and Jimmy. Their connection was noticeable and strong from the very start. Jake just made me want to punch him! The author took the character and made him so believable that I truly wanted to punch him because he was hurting people that were good. It made me not want to put the book down! I give this book a five out of five stars.

~Book Review!~ No One to Trust by Lynette Eason

book-no-one-to-trust

 

Goodreads Synopsis:

Summer Abernathy wakes up one morning to find her husband missing, three men in her home intent on finding him, and the life she’s been living based on a lie. Which Kyle Abernathy did she marry? The computer programmer she met in line at the bank? Or the one who was apparently using that image as a cover story?

The search for her husband–and answers–takes Summer ever deeper into a world of organized crime where people are used one moment and discarded the next. And with her deepest relationship of trust already shattered, Summer doesn’t know who to believe.

 

My Review:

I absolutely LOVED this book. Once I started reading it I could barely put it down. Twists and turns came more throughout this book than any other book I have ever read! I thought that the book was close to getting to the ending and then wham, another twist came out of nowhere! I never knew what to expect and it kept me on my toes so much! I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars.
