If I Run by Terri Blackstock
LOVING this so far!

Happy to have the next book in the Men of Valor series from Irene Hannon.

Beth Vogt (goodreadscombethkvogt) Where the Wind Leads A Refugee Family's Miraculous Story of Loss, Rescue, and Redemption by Vinh Chung
I just finished this memoir -- it was so good! The author is a colleague of my husband's.
From a Distance (Timber Ridge Reflections, #1) by Tamera Alexander
I just read my first Tamera Alexander book -- I can't believe it took me this long! She's an amazing writer! Loved this historical romance.
The Things We Knew by Catherine West
Reading an ARC of this right now. Loving it.
Close to You by Kara Isaac
Just finished this (ARC). Kara and I are Howard Book "mates".

Beth | Faithfully Bookish  (betherin02) Just finished or am currently reading:
Sit, Stay, Love by Dana Mentink releases March 1, so adorable and funny, it would be a great romantic comedy movie that I might be able to get my husband to watch with me, it involves a professional baseball player and a teacher turned dog-sitter

Luther and Katharina by Jody Hedlund I love Jody Hedlund!!! Her books based on historical figures are my favorite.

The Thorn Bearer (Penned in Time #1) by Pepper D. Basham features the famous ship the Lusitania, set in the early years of WWI, and full of swoon-worthy moments!

Shenandoah Nights (Winds of Change #1) by Lisa Belcastro time travel novels are not my thing but this book was fantastic, Lisa did it right! more swooning

Write Me Home by Crystal Walton coming home again type story with a firefighter who is determined to take care of his sassy Italian Nonna while working as a handyman for a no-nonsense, keeping it professional kind of lady

That's highlight reel for the last couple of weeks!
