The King’s Speech {Book Review}
I don’t always watch a movie and then read the book it’s based on. But in the case of The King’s Speech, I’m glad I did. The book lifts heavily from the personal diary of Lionel Logue and was compiled by his grandson Mark. Lionel, the self proclaimed “common colonial”, from Australia is the...

This Tuesday, Caitlin reviews "Just Between You and Me" by Jenny B. Jones. Does she like it? Does she hate it? Read on to find out!
Thunder of Heaven {Book Review}
Book about the end of the world? Check. Authored by Tim LaHaye? Check. Co-authored by Jerry B. Jenkins? Nope. In Tim LaHaye’s newest thriller, he teams up with Craig Parshall. Craig has his own series of thrillers under his belt. In many ways, this book dovetails perfectly with LaHaye’s Left Behind Series. But where it...
Double Shot {Book Review}
Poor Maya Davis. Life just got even more interesting. Just as she's getting ready for her wedding, Jack, her fiancée, has an announcement. He wants to move. Far, far away from all their friends and family. The last book in the Maya Davis trilogy by Erynn Mangum is hilarious, heart-warming, and a must read.
Latte Daze {Book Review}

Cool Beans {Book Review}
Poor Maya Davis. What’s a girl to do when her disgustingly perfect roommate (who she would hate if she didn’t already love her) brings home the perfect boyfriend? It would be one thing if the boyfriend was a stranger. But when it’s your ex-boyfriend? The one that everyone thought you were going to marry? Eeek!...
Night of the Cossack {Book Review}
What would you do if you were given the choice of life or death by your enemy? Death means sacrificing your family and life means becoming your enemy. For young Nathan Hertzfield, the choice comes in the middle of a Cossack raid in his small Georgian village. While he hears the screams of villagers dying...
Outliers {Book Review}
What makes someone successful? That’s the question that Malcom Gladwell sets out to answer in Outliers: The Story of Success. Gladwell is the one who introduced the 10,000 hour rule to the masses (if you count the readers of his works “the masses”). If you aren’t familiar with the rule, it states that if you spend...
Stuff Christians Like {Book Review}
Last week, this book came up twice in conversation. Which is why I’m finally getting around to reviewing it on this site. So I can just tell people to read my blog instead of asking me questions. Not really, but it would streamline the process a little bit. Jonathan Acuff is a brilliant writer who...
