Valentine's Romance GIVEAWAY ALERT: Emma Lynden's "The Holiday Plan" (Kindle Edition)

We're Celebrating Valentine's Day with a Kindle Book GIVEAWAY!

Emma Lynden is a debut author whose stellar new romance takes place during the ultimate season of love--Valentine's Day!

The swoony novel is titled The Holiday Plan, and you can read my full review here.

The plot of The Holiday Plan is magical:

Valentine's Day is full of painful reminders for Verona Scott, a romance novelist who has trouble believing happily-ever-after exists. To escape all the heart-shaped, pink and red symbols of the season, Verona holes up in Courtington Castle, a luxury hotel near the quaint town of Camelot Creek, located in the valley of the Adirondacks. She's hoping the picturesque backdrop will lead to much-needed literary inspiration, since best-selling romance novels are hard to write when drawn from a well of personal heartbreak.

Verona is horrified upon check-in to learn a match-making retreat headed by the king of happily-ever-after himself, Troy Turner, coincides with her stay. To make the best of a bad situation, Verona begrudgingly participates in the event for research purposes only, but the celebrity dating coach finds her to be an interesting and unusual challenge.

As Verona wrestles with the loss of her dear Aunt Theoni, another person from her past makes an unexpected appearance.

For Verona, Valentine's Day continues to be a holiday where real-life plot twists keep changing the course she has planned.

This super cozy, feel-good romance will definitely put your heart in the right mood for Valentine's Day!

Don't Let Your Kids Read Harry Potter

Have your kids been imploring you for permission to read the Harry Potter series? It seems like everyone is hooked on these books, making your kids feel awkwardly quarantined from their peers over the divide on principles. After all, Scholastic book orders provided by the indoctrination centers of public schools are brimming with Harry Potter selections, serving up an alarming dose of witchcraft for the youngest readers to the oldest. Isn't everything sanctioned by the schools supposed to be in your child's best interests? Hardly. Not only is the book addiction rampant, but the frenzy is intensified by movies, museum exhibits, and video games. A full line of merchandise supports the franchise, offering consumers Harry Potter board games, magic wands, apparel, cups, calendars, umbrellas, necklaces, and other fan fare products. If Harry Potter is so evil and insidious, surely the bandwagon would be fairly empty, right? We find the answer in I Corinthians 2:14,

'Tis the Season for a Christmas Book Giveaway: Two Copies of "The Christmas Town" by Donna VanLiere

The Christmas Town Became a Hallmark Movie Fans of Candace Cameron Bure will remember her portrayal of Lauren Gabriel in Hallmark's 2019 movie, Christmas Town , which is based on this book by Donna VanLiere. However, the Hallmark version has almost nothing in common with the novel. The book and the movie share only three things: character names, setting, and the fact Lauren was once a foster child. Since the storylines veer in different directions, the book will take you on a far deeper and better journey. Lauren is a 21-year-old cashier who grew up in foster homes, always hoping the relationship with her drug addict mother might one day be restored. She longs for family. One day, she witnesses a car accident that thrusts her into the small town of Grandon. She loves the town and all the people in it and finds the faith, hope, love, and family her heart has always longed for. The Christmas Town is a very uplifting story brimming with faith, generosity, servanthood,

The Phantom of the Opera: Comparing & Contrasting Gaston Leroux's Book to the Movie Based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's Musical

The Phantom of the Opera Plot Summary Originally written as a serial story for the Le Gaulois newspaper, The Phantom of the Opera was released as a novel in March 1910. It remains as captivating today as it was then thanks, in part, to the enticing score composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber that debuted in 1986. In 2004, Joel Schumaker's film adaptation of the musical provided a chance for everyone to experience this thrilling and chilling romance. The Phantom of the Opera is a gothic tale about a deformed musical genius who "haunts" the Paris Opera House. He lives in a secret lair of his own creation by a lake in the deepest recesses of the opera. The Phantom, whose real name is Erik, becomes obsessed with Christine Daaé, and under his tutelage, he prepares her to be the next prima donna of the opera in place of the current soprano, Carlotta. Thinking the Phantom is the Angel of Music her father promised to send her when he went to heaven, Christine blindly submi

A Review of Tucker Carlson's Eye-Opening Book, Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution

The radical Left has tried to drown out Tucker Carlson's voice of reason, but he won't be intimidated or silenced. Carlson calls his evening show on Fox News "the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and group-think." In his latest book, Ship of Fools , he offers an eye-opening account of what we have suspected all along about the radical Left agenda, but unlike liberals, he presents actual facts and logic to prove his points. What he reveals about the far left-wingers who have hijacked the entire Democratic Party is more than unsettling. Two years after Trump's election, the socialist liberals and their fascist propaganda machine, the fake news networks, still cannot accept his presidency. Carlson points out just why Trump was elected--he was the only one who seemed interested in what voters had to say, and electing him was our "throbbing middle finger in the face of America's ruling class." Wouldn't you agree? Carlson conclud

Review: "The Book of Signs" by Dr. David Jeremiah

Is the End of the World Near? When you watch the news and read the headlines, it seems our world is hurtling towards disaster. Christ followers are taught to be ready for His Second Coming, although no one knows the day or the hour He will return. The Bible is filled with prophetic passages to give us clues about what to expect in the end times leading up to the apocalypse; however, unless you're a Biblical scholar, many of these scriptures may seem cryptic. In The Book of Signs , Dr. David Jeremiah shares deep insight into complicated Biblical prophecy to make it digestable and easy to understand. Your eyes will be opened, and the meaning behind familiar scriptures will be revealed like never before. How The Book of Signs is Structured The Book of Signs is a comprehensive manual that breaks down end time prophecies into manageable chunks over the course of 31 chapters: PART 1: International Signs Chapter 1: Israel Chapter 2: Europe Chapter 3: Russia Chapter 4: Babylo

2023 Reading Challenge That's Fun & Easy!

Not Your Typical 2023 Reading Challenge When you're a voracious bookworm, a new year means a fresh start on tackling your TBR list. We somehow think this is the year we will mark every book as read and finally reach the end of our list, knowing the lofty goal will always remain a dangling carrot of vain pursuit. With renewed vigor and time on our hands in the colder months, we also accept reading challenges to expand our literary horizons. Like many New Year's resolutions, our enthusiasm quickly wanes when we fall further and further behind, and the challenge becomes more like a tedious chore than something to savor. Let's change that in 2023! Reading should always be a rewarding, worthwhile experience. Life is busy, so when you can squeeze in time for reading, it should be like sitting down with your best friend--a fun and unhurried time of delightful engagement. Challenges that include specific books, themes, or genres that don't interest you or ones that tax y

Debbie Macomber's "Twelve Days of Christmas" Should Be A Hallmark Movie!

Novelist Debbie Macomber Is No Stranger To Hallmark Debbie Macomber is a prolific romance novelist with over 150 books to her credit. Unlike other cheesy five and dime romance stories, Macomber weaves clean tales brimming with heart and depth. Her Cedar Cove books have been adapted to a Hallmark television series, and six of her novels have been made into Hallmark Christmas movies: Dashing Through the Snow Trading Christmas Mrs. Miracle Call Me Mrs. Miracle A Mrs. Miracle Christmas Mr. Miracle Twelve Days of Christmas was published back in 2016, and it's one of Macomber's best. It has a Hallmark vibe, so it's a mystery why Hallmark hasn't seized the story instead of recycling so many of their same old plots. Twelve Days Of Christmas Plot Summary Julia Padden is always smiling, bubbly, and chatty, which rubs the Scrooge-like neighbor in her apartment complex the wrong way. Gruff and unfriendly, Cain Maddox rudely rebuffs all of Julia's attempts at being a ki
