  • The Friday Review: The Fur Trader’s Lady

    By Gabrielle Meyer As a kid, I loved reading books about the frontier and the fur trade. Sadly, there’s not a ton of good adult historical fiction on the subject, so I was eager to read this new release by… Continue reading

  • The Friday Review: Top Gun: Maverick

    Starring Tom Cruise Which movie was better? The original or the sequel? While the 1986 movie is a classic, I think the editing and music pushes the 2022 movie into the lead. If you haven’t seen Top Gun: Maverick, you’ve… Continue reading

  • The Friday Review: The Tempest at Annabel’s Lighthouse

    By Jaime Jo Wright I couldn’t sleep after finishing this book. Not because it was scary (though it was), but because it was SO GOOD! The twist at the end was… just phenomenal. Set in the Porcupine Mountains on Lake… Continue reading

    By David and Barbara Leeman I absolutely love the Leeman’s Christmas carol Advent devotional, so when I found out that they had also released a book on general hymns, I snapped it up! (And then I read that they’re releasing… Continue reading

    Starring Hal Stalmaster This movie was an absolute staple when I was a kid. I watched it again on April 19th (for obvious reasons) and I was surprised that I could still quote full scenes. Between this movie and the… Continue reading

  • The Friday Review: The Curious Inheritance of Blakely House

    By Joanna Davidson Politano I won’t pass up a chance to read a Joanna Davidson Politano book, so I was thrilled to get my hands on an ARC through NetGalley. Sydney Forrester has a mechanical mind. She loves to create,… Continue reading

  • The Friday Review: Death on the Nile

    Starring Peter Ustinov  Don’t bother watching the 2022 remake, this 1978 version is the gold standard of Death on the Nile movies. The cast alone makes this movie worth watching. Alongside Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot, the dazzling cast includes… Continue reading

  • The Friday Review: The Burning of Rosemont Abbey

    By Naomi Stephens Wow! I think I might have found my favorite book of 2025! Nancy Drew meets Agatha Christie in this 1950’s British mystery.  Paul Everly burnt Rosemont Abbey to the ground and then disappeared. That’s what everyone believes.… Continue reading
