BookBub started it all this morning with several bargain books.
The first bargain ($0.99) is from a new favorite author Alana Terry. Forget Me Now is the gripping suspense story of a young woman who’s lost a portion her memory through brain injury trauma. She’s has no idea what’s happened to her and no ability to retain new memories when she does figure things out. Everyone close to her is dead and it’s clear she’s next. There are some tense moments in store for her and for us.
The second bargain book ($1.99) is a change of pace. In The Field of Grace is a retelling of the story of Ruth and Boaz. This tale is popular with authors and there have been many versions written through the years. This one seems to be from a different point of view, which is new. It’s usually told from Ruth’s perspective with Boaz taking a minor role. This time, the story starts out from his point of view, immediately catching my interest.
I don’t know this author but I’m looking forward to the experience.
And finally, an Amazon suggested bargain book ($1.99) is a beloved collection from iconic Canadian author Janette Oke. We’ve been reading and watching movies of her pioneer stories for decades. This Canadian West Collection contains six of her most popular books.
1 When Calls the Heart
2 When Comes the Spring
3 When Breaks the Dawn
4 When Hope Springs New
5 Beyond the Gathering Storm
6 When Tomorrow Comes
My video stash still has the movie box collection for three of these popular books. It’s nice to bring them out again every now and then.
Happy Reading.
Today is Grey Cup parade through the city of Winnipeg. People are out in droves to honour the win of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers football team and the energy level is high. I’m loving the internet live stream for those of us not able to be there in person. I think I will wait awhile to read. It’s been twenty nine years since their last championship win so this could be the parade of a lifetime, definitely not is to be missed.
CJOB live is the place to find it if you follow Canadian football.
The Trouble in Willow Falls is book 2 in the series about the struggles of small town life trying to re-invent itself.
God Bless the Child must be book 2 or 3 or so in the Main Street Clinic Series, unless there is another similar series and I’m mixing them up. In any event, it’s a touching story about a family therapist with a big heart for hurting and troubled children.
Mourning Dove a historical novel set in the 1970’s deep south, Memphis Tennessee. It’s the story of two siblings with a complicated life. In this case both the book and the author are new to me. An new adventure.
A Perfect Weakness has been on the FREE list before and I have read it. It’s about a doctor who, for guilt reasons, decided to stop practicing, and he’s arriving in a pioneer town where they are in desperate need of him. In fact they expected he would be replacing their aging doctor. They do their best to limp along without his help, until disaster strikes. Sometimes life gives us a chance to make new decisions — if only we will.
Life in Chapel Springs is book 4 in the series The ups and downs of small town life while trying to keep a low profile in a high profile world. It appears I’ve already downloaded books 1 and 3 in this series but I’m not sure I’ve read them. A mystery in need of solving.
Tested by Fire is book 1 in the Medic-7 Series and has been FREE before. I do remember reading this one, it was worth it, for sure.
This one appears to be YA Fantasy. They are hiding out in Zenia Wood, struggling to escape their parents’ killer.
A Jeremy Winter Thriller book 3, we’ve seen and enjoyed Tom Threadgill’s books before.
This one for sure I’ve mentioned before. One of my favorites. Romance category.
This is also a repeat. A western Romance collection with various authors.
One of my favorite authors. Well worth the read.
This is a new one by an author I enjoy. Looking forward to it.
This one I did read years ago but can’t remember if I liked it.
This one is billed as a cute Cinderella story. I didn’t love it when it came out a few months back but maybe that’s just me. I’ll include it this time so you have a chance to decide for yourself.
