What I'm Reading:


Blurb:

What she can’t remember will kill her…

As a teen, Texas Ranger Felicity Capshaw witnessed a murder. The traumatic incident—and the accompanying amnesia—has affected her entire life. She reopens the cold case, but the investigation is cut short when she’s assaulted and nearly killed.

Detective Noah Hodge is no stranger to loss. He’s buried his parents and his wife. All he wants is to raise his daughter and keep his hometown safe. When the killer targets Felicity, Noah commits to protecting her, even though each second in her presence makes him question why he’s locked away his battered heart.

As Felicity's memories return, the threats escalate. Can Noah help her uncover the truth? Or will the killer silence her forever?

First Lines:

A twig snapped.

56%/Page 56

Shocked rippled through Felicity.  She held her tongue, letting Kurtis lead the way for the time being.

What I'll (Probably) Read Next:


Blurb:

Some people have all the luck, but so far, Seren’s has all been bad.

Seren Colburn's had nothing but bad luck her entire life, so she's not surprised when Dave, a possible buyer for her family mansion, mistakes her for a vagrant squatting in the unfurnished home. If she wasn't about to lose her movie-star grandmother’s house to the bank, she wouldn't even be selling it.

But after he realizes Seren’s the owner, Dave has an idea.

He suggests they work together to turn the mansion into an inn, capitalizing on her grandmother's graceful and timeless image. Seren really doesn’t want to, but she's out of options. Dave quickly realizes he wants her as more than just a business partner, but can he convince Seren that her luck’s about to change. . .if only she'll take a chance on him?

Book Blogger Hop:

Q.  It's back-to-school time. What book would you recommend to students, whether it's an educational read or an enjoyable diversion from textbooks? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)

A. I can't think of any book in particular.  Just read what gives you joy.

That being said, I would highly recommend finding a devotional for students to go along with Bible reading.  You don't have to read the Bible for hours on end.  Just make sure you are in the Word on a daily basis to keep you grounded.

  7. You had a good week for freebies. My experience is that kids get very impatient when they hear generalizations and if they actually asked you for a book title, they would mean they wanted it. But of course the answer would depend on what you knew about the kid. So maybe it’s not a well-formed question.

  8. I've always liked books with memory issues for the main characters. This looks like a good one.
