A Very Bookish Thanksgiving

by Sarah Holman, Kelsey Bryant, Rebekah Jones, J. Grace Pennington, & Amanda Tero

428 pages // published in 2020 // Christian fiction anthalogy

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Five stories. Five book-lovers. Five Thanksgiving novellas inspired by five classics. This is a limited-edition novella collection with contributions by five different authors.

The Promise of Acorns ~ Kelsey Bryant
Erin Moore is a nanny whose strained relationship with Thanksgiving becomes even more complicated when her new employer asks her to teach his grandchildren about the holiday. The results surprise them both. Inspired by Jane Eyre,

As Long as I Belong ~ Sarah Holman
Young Annalise Marshell has always felt like she straddles two worlds, like Jane Austen’s Fanny Price. Yet, near Thanksgiving, she faces the fact she might soon not belong anywhere at all. Inspired by Mansfield Park.

The Windles and the Lost Boy ~ Rebekah Jones
All Lost Boys could find refuge with Patrick Quill. Jeremy might do the same - if he could find him and if Patrick is real. Inspired by Peter Pan

Grand Intentions ~ J. Grace Pennington
Pippa has always dreamed of being a great novelist, but between her job and helping her mom raise her three younger brothers, she never seems to be able to write. So when her grandmother offers her a few months away with all the time she could wish for, she’s sure to write the story she’s always dreamed of -- or does her problem run deeper than she thinks? Inspired by Great Expectations.

A Fine Day Tomorrow ~ Amanda Tero
Essie March never planned to do much with her life, being the sickly one of the family. And just as she starts to pursue her dream of nursing, it seems that everything stands in her way to prevent it. Inspired by Little Women.

Review of:

A FINE DAY TOMORROW
by Amanda Tero

Five stars for this amazing Little Women retelling.

Imagine the war-wracked world of 1918. If you're not killed from battle wounds, then the Spanish Flu will likely get you instead. In the middle of all this horridness stands the March family on the home front. (No, not the same Marches from Little Women, but cleverly disguised versions of those beloved characters in an all new era and setting.)

The roles of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy are turned over to a new set of sisters, Marge, Charlie, Essie, and Florrie. These girls may have to fight similar battles to the girls in Little Women, but with new causes and new triumphs.

Our unsuspecting leading heroine is actually Essie, a "shy and quiet" girl with the heart of Beth March. This story is hers, had she lived to adulthood and charged forth on a mission in life, in her own way, one that springs forth from the goodness of her heart. Due to time spent as an invalid during childhood, Essie wishes to help others through nursing them back to health. That is her goal in life, along with marrying James, whom she waits for while he is away at war.

“Come, let’s take a turn in the garden. No one else dares venture outside anymore. The whole world is turning into a madhouse.”

It just so happens that this book was written in 2020 at the perfect time, when a pandemic hit our modern world, just like it did in 1918. If you read this story now, you'll be quite impressed with the similarities in life that we in 2020 share with the people of 1918. For example, they made their own masks to wear in public and staying at home was advised (history repeats itself 102 years later).

Essie is also undergoing a deep spiritual journey too, as she struggles to understand God's will for her. She is trying to find joy in her daily life, in both the small things and the large, but she is still wrestling with the idea. I dearly loved seeing God's bright light shining on Essie, waiting for her to give in to His grace.

Perfect for fans of Little Women, literature nerds, and history buffs.

Suitable for: 10 and up - Adults

Read this story + 4 more literature-inspired Thanksgiving stories in A Very Bookish Thanksgiving!

About the Authors:

Kelsey Bryant is an author, editor, and martial arts instructor from Central Texas. She loves God, her family, classic literature, and anything that transports her to the past.

Website | Facebook | Goodreads

Sarah Holman lives in Central Texas with her amazing family. When not working on her next novel, she can usually be found hanging out with her siblings, reading, or taking long walks. If there is anything adventuresome about her life, it’s because she serves a God with a destiny bigger than anything she could have imagined.

Website | Facebook | Goodreads

Rebekah Jones is first and foremost a follower of the Living God. She started writing as a little girl, seeking to glorify her King with her books and stories. Rebekah is an old soul in a young body (she’s not 12—honest!). While her exact age is classified, her interests are not. Among them are reading a variety of books, singing, playing and composing music, studying all manner of subjects, nannying an adventurous group of youngsters, and, of course, writing her books, poems, articles, and short stories. She writes a wide range of books from gentle children’s adventures to family sagas to murder mysteries.

J. Grace Pennington has been telling stories since she could talk and writing them down since age five. Now she lives in the great state of Texas, where she writes as much as adult life permits. When she’s not writing she enjoys reading good books, having adventures with her husband, and looking up at the stars.

Website | Facebook | Instagram

Amanda Tero grew up attending a one room school with her eleven siblings—and loved it! She also fell in love with reading to the point her mom withheld her books to get her to do her chores. That love of reading turned into a love of writing YA fiction. Amanda is a music teacher by day and a literary guide by night, creating stories that whisk readers off to new eras and introduce them to heroic but flawed characters that live out their faith in astonishing ways.

Double Book Review: Myrtle Hardcastle series #newrelease #blogtour

Premeditated Myrtle
Myrtle Hardcastle Mysteries #1

by Elizabeth C. Bunce

368 pages // published in 2020 // MG historical mystery

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Twelve-year-old Myrtle Hardcastle has a passion for justice and a Highly Unconventional obsession with criminal science. Armed with her father’s law books and her mum’s microscope, Myrtle studies toxicology, keeps abreast of the latest developments in crime scene analysis, and Observes her neighbors in the quiet village of Swinburne, England.

When her next-door neighbor, a wealthy spinster and eccentric breeder of rare flowers, dies under Mysterious Circumstances, Myrtle seizes her chance. With her unflappable governess, Miss Ada Judson, by her side, Myrtle takes it upon herself to prove Miss Wodehouse was murdered and find the killer, even if nobody else believes her — not even her father, the town prosecutor.

Ah. Myrtle Hardcastle. A young British girl with a nose for solving murder mysteries, it would seem.

Everything about Myrtle's life is all proper and quite British. But her brain is simply teeming with adventure and crime-solving. While she does everything that a Lady-in-training is supposed to do, and does elegantly well for her dear father's sake, she also does plenty that a Lady shouldn't be caught dead doing. Like spying on the neighbors via telescope.

Miss Judson, Myrtle's governess, is a novelty! She makes me wish that adults could have a governess. While she expertly guides Myrtle on rights from wrongs, like her job requires, she also plainly loves participating in Myrtle's investigations, like her job does NOT require. What a pair these two are, in cahoots with each other!

"'Now. Tell me about your Harrowing Adventure.' She [Miss Judson] made it sound that way, capitalized, like a story in a penny dreadful."

There are no girls her own age that Myrtle can truly call a friend. The girls in her neighborhood are too fashionable, too consumed with their own selves to think twice about any intriguing topic that Myrtle is interested in, like the sciences, and Observing the world... and murder mysteries.

She may be just 12 years old in 1893, but Myrtle Hardcastle uses every modern convenience at her fingertips to piece together the clues of the puzzle. Her telescope is her inanimate best friend, with her microscope at a close second. Myrtle is a fellow fan of Mr. Sherlock Holmes (like me), and she follows his methods of deductive reasoning whenever she can. Just another reason why I love Myrtle.

There are many endearing and memorable characters among Myrtle's family, friends, and... enemies too. A surprise favorite of mine is Mr. Blakeney, a young solicitor-in-training, who meets Myrtle in her investigation and attempts to guide her along. He even has a pet name for her -- Stephen. As crazy as that seems, it's just a part of their semi-comedic friendship together.

Overall, this series opener is an intricately and masterfully-woven plot! It kept me guessing at every turn.

For fans of Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, and Flavia de Luce. Ages 9 to Adult (it has such an amazing and interesting plot, anyone could enjoy it.)

How to Get Away with Myrtle
Myrtle Hardcastle Mysteries #2

by Elizabeth C. Bunce

352 pages // published in 2020 // MG historical mystery

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Before the train has left the station, England’s most accomplished new detective already is on a suspect’s trail, and readers will be delighted to travel along.

Myrtle Hardcastle has no desire to go on a relaxing travel excursion with her aunt Helena when there are More Important things to be done at home, like keeping close tabs on criminals and murder trials. Unfortunately, she has no say in the matter. So off Myrtle goes—with her governess, Miss Judson, and cat, Peony, in tow—on a fabulous private railway coach headed for the English seaside.

Myrtle is thrilled to make the acquaintance of Mrs. Bloom, a professional insurance investigator aboard to protect the priceless Northern Lights tiara. But before the train reaches its destination, both the tiara and Mrs. Bloom vanish. When Myrtle arrives, she and Peony discover a dead body in the baggage car. Someone has been murdered—with Aunt Helena’s sewing shears.

The trip is derailed, the local police are inept, and Scotland Yard is in no rush to arrive. What’s a smart, bored Young Lady of Quality stranded in a washed-up carnival town to do but follow the evidence to find out which of her fellow travelers is a thief and a murderer?

In Volume Two, what starts as Myrtle Hardcastle getting to assist "a real Investigator in the search for a jewel thief!" quickly escalates into Myrtle Hardcastle attempting to solve the crime of a murder!

In this story, Myrtle, Miss Judson (governess), and Aunt Helena are heading down the train tracks to go on holiday. Even Peony the cat has gotten packed into the luggage, ready for some relaxation and vacation. Suffice it to say, by chapter 5, the situation becomes Extremely Interesting. When the police handcuffs come out, they're being slapped onto the wrists of one of Myrtle's own inner circle. Gasp!

The larger-than-life settings and atmosphere, alongside the immensely colorful characters, make the story jump to life in my head like a movie. It will capture the attention of even the most reluctant readers out there.

Myrtle's life seems to me that it must be similar to a young Agatha Christie's (fictionalized) life. The other girls back home don't call her "Morbid Myrtle" for nothing.

Many times sprinkled throughout the book I'll just happen to find a wonderful turn of phrase that will make me simply stop and smile (both inwardly and outwardly) at the wittiness of it... and it keeps happening, extending my pleasure of the story itself.

For fans of Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, and Flavia de Luce. Ages 9 to Adult (it has such an amazing and interesting plot, anyone could enjoy it.)

Book Review: The Secret Place of Thunder #giveaway #newrelease #blogtour

The SECRET PLACE OF THUNDER

Librarians of Willow Hollow #4

by Alicia G. Ruggieri

124 pages // published in 2020 // Christian historical fiction

BOOK DESCRIPTION

The mountains have imprisoned her long enough...

Edna Sue O’Connell came back to the Kentucky hills out of duty and can’t wait for the chance to escape again. Her work as a horseback librarian in rural Appalachia provides enough income for her invalid father to survive in the midst of the Great Depression, but it affords her with little else.

When an opportunity arises for Edna to take on an additional book delivery area, she spies a glimmer of hope that she might find a way out of Willow Hollow after all… and that she might actually make something of her life apart from the tragedy that has filled it thus far.

But the new routes give Edna more than she ever bargained for. Slowly, she finds that the mountains contain many valuable secrets – if she has the grit to meet them.

The Secret Place of Thunder is part of the Librarians of Willow Hollow multi-author novella collection. Each novella stands on its own but is connected to the others in this historical Christian fiction series set in 1930s Appalachia.

Other books in the Librarians of Willow Hollow series:
A Strand of Hope by Amanda Tero
I Love to Tell the Story by Faith Blum
Hearts on Lonely Mountain by A.M. Heath

Come along as four packhorse librarians find adventures outside the books they carry!

Within my first minute of starting this new book, I was already loving Edna Sue's character! I could tell that she is an always-on-time, spectacle-wearing, book-loving, logical-thinking, hair-in-tight-bun, no-nonsense kind of gal. The perfect picture of a librarian. Except this librarian has to ride out on Molly the mule's back, up into the Appalachian Mountains to give books to the mountain people.

Most people in town conclude that Edna Sue O'Connell is a spinster, with her age of over thirty years. Edna may be bold and may carry a sharp tongue, but she means well in the tasks she sets out to do. She has a sense of adventure, and longs to go back to the big cities like New York. Duty keeps her chained at home with a bedridden father and an exasperating stepmother. So she sets her fiery mind upon her work as a packhorse librarian, and goes at it with all her might, earning for her future.

One of the homesteads she visits on her library route is inhabited by a reclusive man -- which, of course, Edna Sue is determined to poke her nose into such a mystery, even after a gun is pointed straight back at her. Edna also has to deal with Mr. Gaunt, Willow Hollow's schoolteacher, who may have the slightest of romantic intentions, which she certainly intends to keep at bay.

Through her experiences and interactions with all of these Willow Hollow characters, I enjoyed watching Edna's spiritual journey too.

I had been looking forward to Edna's story so much. I'd seen and heard tiny glimpses of her from the preceding three books in the series (each book is a standalone novella, so you can read them in any order). Meeting her "in person" now has been lovely. This story did NOT disappoint. I even wish it could be turned into a movie!

An excellent work of Christian fiction.

Hearts on Lonely Mountain by A.M. Heath (5 star review)

Hearts on Lonely Mountain
Librarians of Willow Hollow #3

by A.M. Heath

227 pages // published in 2020 // Christian historical fiction

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Can two lonely people find more than a fleeting friendship or will a prejudiced town keep them apart?

When Ivory Bledsoe left the city to minister to the people of the rural mountain town of Willow Hollow, she never expected to be shunned rather than welcomed. Seeing the town as a lost cause, she’s eager to return home, but when the bridge leading out of town is washed away during a flood, she finds herself stranded in the last place she wants to be.

Ben Thrasher was content with his quiet life until he met the new librarian. He can’t help but be drawn to the friendly and lively Ivory Bledsoe, despite her being at the center of the town’s latest superstition. It’s only a matter of time until she captures his heart, turning his world upside down in the process.

Has Ivory gotten God’s plan for her all wrong or is there still a way she can serve these people? And can Ben ask her to stay in a place where so few are willing to embrace her?

Ivory Bledsoe hails from Nashville (1936), but she's got a mission in Willow Hollow, Kentucky. She is going to become a much-needed librarian in the little town, to spread books to the mountain's good people. She aims to accomplish her job in the most welcoming manner, since she knows that not everyone in Willow Hollow will even know how to read. Upon arrival, she finds out that she's ever so much more of an unwelcome outsider than she assumed.

Ivory will have many hurdles to overcome, including rumors about herself. The mountain folk are of a superstitious nature. One person publicly pegged her as a Moon Witch, and the whole town will have nothing to do with her. Except for one God-fearing man who believes in scriptures more than superstitions. The same man that kindly shelters Ivory when a storm passes through -- but that act of kindness is cruelly twisted into fresh rumors when she exits his home and goes back out into the world.

A.M. Heath's words shine brightly off the written page. Her storytelling abilities are simply sublime, welcoming me back to Willow Hollow each time I open the book to read more. I felt like the country accents are spot on! And Ben's five-year-old nephew, Gerrit, is one smart cookie.

Overall, this is a lovely, inspirational read!

Suitable for: 12 and up - Adults

I already can't wait to read the final installment of this series, and discover Edna's story.

Book Review: I Love to Tell the Story #giveaway #newrelease #blogtour

I Love to Tell the Story by Janette Oke & Laurel Oke Logan (5 star review)

I Love to Tell the Story
Librarians of Willow Hollow #2

by Faith Blum

101 pages // published in 2020 // Christian historical fiction

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Her heart is in the right place...
Bored with her life in Castle Town, Montana, Lillian Sullivan follows her friend’s suggestion and joins the horseback librarian program in rural Kentucky. Not only does she anticipate sharing her love of books, but she also wants to spread the gospel among the mountain people.

However, Willow Hollow presents her with one trouble after another and she struggles to step outside her shyness to share the gospel.

What will it take for Lillian to share her love of the Best Story? Can the power of the gospel overcome the shyness of her own heart?

This novella is part of a series with different authors, but can easily be read as a standalone.

Lillian Sullivan is from Castle City, Montana -- a silver boom town, now dry. She's just come of age in the year 1936, and she feels trapped in the almost empty town, with nowhere to grow. But then an opportunity arrives -- one with adventure in Kentucky. A job to get paid to share books with people! Horseback librarians are needed to ride into the Appalachian mountains to deliver reading material to those who don't have it otherwise.

Not only does Lillian take the job for the thrill of something new, she also feels something pressing her heart to use this opportunity to spread the gospel of the Good Book itself. This could be her special way to accomplish that goal.

Crow Williams is a crotchety old "gentleman" whose life Lillian is able to touch, as she tries to befriend him after the harmful accident that took place when they first met. I really like Crow's character. Lillian truly cares about people and wants to positively impact their lives. I feel like Lillian will become a part of so many other people's stories, even after we run out of pages to read in this book.

Faith Blum's writing is so clear and easy to read. She has an excellent spiritual message to impart to the reader.

I'm simply thrilled that I even got to catch glimpses of the other librarians of Willow Hollow: Lena, Edna, and Ivory. It made me excited to watch all of their different personalities contrasting against each other. I can't wait to read ALL 4 of these novels!

Good, clean, inspirational.

Suitable for: 11 and up - Adults
(Has a few mentions of childbirth in Lillian's mother's journal excerpts.)

I like that this book isn't written to be a romance, or at least it's not in the foreground of the plot, like most of the young adult and/or women's fiction available on the market.

Reading this book filled me with an inspirational message of hope for the future.

I am so excited to read the other books in this series.
