A story was interesting because I like to play tic-tac-toe game as well and I like to win as well. Also, it was easy to read.

Disobey now, pay later. Those who are tardy may miss the party Two wrongs never make a right Find someone with a hole in their heart and fill it with God’s love And the list goes on…………

A young woman escapes an arranged, abusive marriage to become a desired henna artist. She reunites with a sister she never knew she had. The art of applying the henna & uses for ceremonies & healing properties was very interesting. The girl, Lakshmi, also makes sachets of herbs that prevent pregnancy & she sells them secretly.

Widow Liza Schrock is the owner of the Amish Charm Bakery. She is content to cook mouthwatering recipes for her community and stay unwed. That changes when widower Jacob Graber moves town. Now they both get a second chance at love, unless the secret from her past gets in the way. Very enjoyable and easy read.

This book was a little absurd. I don't typically read sci-fi that involves an entirely new universe and various alien creatures, so maybe it's just not for me. However, I did enjoy many aspects of this story. Chambers created an entire universe with new creatures, social structures, and cultures. From a sociological perspective, it was fascinating. The relationships between the characters were definitely the most intriguing part of this book. The plot itself left a lot to be desired. It truly was about the journey and not the destination. If you enjoy world building and escaping into complex relationships between various species, then this book is for you. However, if you like an adventure story driven more by plot, you may want to look elsewhere.

Grace is God's unmerited favor. Grace is freely given to us by God.God saved us and called us to a holy calling. His grace is not according to our works. Grace is given according to his purpose.

I'm a big fan of this series based on the character Eve Dallas. This is a complicated story of the murder of 2 people who seem to have no connection to each other. The search for the solution of the mystery leads back to a posh boys high school to determine whether these crimes are terrorist or revenge driven. I recommend it as I found it difficult to put the book down.

This is a story about two teenage sisters living in a cult where the people are all brainwashed by a prophet and they believe in polygamy. There is also a global pandemic going on along with a little touch of fantasy splashed in. It's faced paced and held my attention. I recommend this book.

A friend of mine suggested that I might like the Hulu series "Normal People." Upon hearing it was based on a book, I obviously had to go read the book first. I definitely understand why my friend recommended it. This is a coming of age story that explores a complicated relationship between two people as they navigate growing up and becoming adults. However, if you are looking for a happy, heart-warming story, this book is not for you. It's honest, tender, and heart-wrenching at times. Though there are sweet moments, I wouldn't call this a happy story, but that's okay. Overall I do not regret the time I spent reading this book. Just check with yourself first to make sure you're in the mood to feel a complex range of emotions.
