Simba's book review

"...forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" Philippians 3:13b-14 ESV Fans of Amy Clipston and Denise Hunter will absolutely adore Kathleen Fuller (author of both Amish and contemporary women's fiction).  In Autumn at the Cat Cafe, Fuller takes readers to Pecan Corner, Ohio during fall, cozy season to Pawsitive Vibes Cafe, where Sir Meow, an adorable highland Lynx that has "big-dog energy" and other adorable cats such as Squeaks.  For the avid reader who like myself also happens to be a cat lover, this book is an extra bonus with just the right amount of romance, sweet scenes, and some humor that cat lovers will relate to. Via Dalton, owner of the cat cafe, is slowly recovering from a broken engagement, and trying to move forward with her business.  When elderly neighbor Earl (owner of Second Chapter bookstore) passed away months prior, Via was hoping...

Luke 8:17 ESV Are you looking for a clean, romance with some mystery and a dash of humor?  Then look no further than Pepper Basham's The Bachelor Spy, the fifth installment of the Freddie and Grace Mystery series.  If you love Jen Turano, Mary Connealy, or Karen Witemeyer; you have to add Pepper Basham to your list of favorite authors.  I fell in love with her reading the first book of the series, The Mistletoe Countess  where readers are introduced to the beloved Freddie and Grace.
