November 2018 In Review - Final Day of #TFBRC

Today is the last day of The Thankful for Books Reading Challenge, hosted by I Am A Reader & Clean Wholesome Romance. We've come to the end of this challenge and the final topic is: Month In Review.

Back at the beginning of the month, I posted that I planned to read five books this month. I completed:

1. Send Down the Rain by Charles Martin.

2. Wait For Me by Susan May Warren. Read my review here.

3. All Made Up by Kara Isaac. Read my review here.

Sadly, The Lady of Tarpon Springs by Judith Miller is still sitting on the TBR stack. This was my local book club's pick for October and I still have not read it. Eek!  However, I did read The Liberty Bride by Marylu Tyndall and loved it. Review should be forthcoming very soon.

Lastly is Warfare by Tony Evans. This one is in progress and I'm nearing the end.

So, that's it. That's what November 2018 looked like in books for me. What about you? Did you find time to read? Let's chat in the comments!

Shelfie Photos - #TFBRC

Today on The Thankful for Books Reading Challenge, hosted by I Am A Reader & Clean Wholesome Romance, we are showing off SHELFIE photos!

I have two bookshelves, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The shelves kinda make shadows, but here they are:

These are just portions of the shelves. I'm happy to say they hold a lot more than what is shown here.

What do your shelves look like? Go take a shelfie an show us all!

Let's Talk Heartbreaking Books - #TFBRC

Today on The Thankful for Books Reading Challenge, hosted by I Am A Reader & Clean Wholesome Romance, we are discussing: HEARTBREAKERS!

I read mostly Inspirational / Christian fiction and happy endings are pretty standard. That's the way I like it.

But there are two that I've read this year that I found pretty sad.

1.  Passing By Samaria by Sharon Ewell Foster. This book was hard to read. It deals with racism and doesn't gloss over things that were done to African-Americans.

2.  Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate. Not only was the story sad, but it was based on real-life happenings which made it even worse. Thankfully, the story finished with some hope and sisterhood.

What heartbreaking books have you read?
