April 2025 Reading Recap & May 2025 TBR

My April 2025 Reads: 


  1. The Watchmaker's Daughter by Larry Loftis - ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ - An extensively researched biography of Corrie Ten Boom. It's not the kind of book that is "fun" to read, but it worthy of the time spent. 

  2. Lady Maybe by Julie Klassen - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Kept me on my toes with its mystery and made me want to stay up all night with its romance. Read my review.

  3. The Unhiding of Elijah Campbell by Kelly Flanagan - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - A fiction novel that deals with past trauma and mental health. An interesting mix of self-help and fiction that would make a good therapy resource. Review to come.

  4. Home Going: Poetry for a Season by Carolyn Weber- ⭐⭐⭐½ - The poetry was not as good as expected given this author's credentials. My favorite selections were about mothering or motherhood experiences.

  5. Meet Me at the Grand by Lindsay Harrel - ⭐⭐⭐ - Might be a sweet read for those who love the "small town" vibe. For me, I felt the main characters lacked chemistry and some situations were just too ideal/easily resolved. I wouldn't read it again, but I wouldn't discourage anyone from reading it either.



Other April 2025 Reviews: 


  1. CSB Illustrator's Notetaking Bible - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - A gorgeous new edition of the CSB version. Read my review. (Putting it under this section because I didn't read the entire Bible before reviewing. 📖)


Expected May 2025 Reads:
  1. Of Silver and Secrets by Michelle Griep.
  2.  
  3. Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. - Currently reading. This is a LONG book!

  4. Revive: Declarations of God's Truth to Renew Your Spirit by Cleere Cherry Reaves. - Currently reading.

  5. Every Hour Until Then by Gabrielle Meyer.

  6. The Wind Blows in Sleeping Grass by Katie Powner - My local book club's May selection.
