Beyond the Deep By Trevor Darby

Serina is a young mermaid wishing, praying, dreaming of being something, anything but blond.

In her world, you have to hope your color (hair and tail) changes before your 13th birthday. Hers hasn't. She did well enough on her entrance exam to be admitted to the prestigious Academy, but if her color doesn't come in, she will be kicked out and banished.

It is a great story of friends, enemies and intrigue.

I think you will enjoy it, whatever your age.

The Gray Chamber by Grace Hitchcock

Edyth Foster is a talented, eccentric heiress, who doesn't give a whit what society thinks! She fences, rides her velocipede, and doesn't wear a corset or often even a hat. Her fencing instructor Bane knows she is a world class opponent, but hasn't thought of her in any other way for years since he started teaching her as a young girl. So far, it has escaped him that she is now a woman of five and twenty and drop dead gorgeous as well! When he does realize that fact, What follows is not what you might expect...including treachery, revealed past secrets, a Pinkerton agent and Nellie Bly! I won't spoil the story, but it is a wonderful read!

The Rebel Bride By Shannon McNear

Wow, what a story of Love and loss and heartache in the midst of the civil war. The suffering on both sides was horrible and the stories of the families on the edges is not often told. I appreciated the attempt to remain historically accurate when possible and the soul searching folks on both sides must have gone through.  A wonderful story.

Amish White Christmas Pie by Wanda Brunstetter

Another book from one of my favorite Authors! It follows Will from being abandoned by his father with an Amish couple who raised him, to his crisis of faith brought on by the pain and uncertainty of that threatening his upcoming wedding. Then a bolt out of the blue....his Father is looking for him! I won't spoil the read, but you will enjoy it! There are recipes at the end (Not however, one for the White Christmas Pie!) As always a great entertaining, faith filled read.

A Halloween Carol By Sean Hogan

Funny, wicked, full of teenage angst and universal questions. Follow our three teens (plus some very interesting others) through a myriad of different, supernatural challenges.  I thought the ending was a bit trite, but still a satisfying read all in all.

Bread Bags & Bullies, Surviving the '80's By Steven Manchester

A look into the minds of Boys, who grew up in the era of my Daughter.

I gleefully connected with the music, TV shows, toys and Family customs (we all had them). But the dynamic between brothers was a whole new adventure.

As always, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit into the past, courtesy of one of my favorite authors. I think you will too.

Christmas at the Lakeside Resort By Susan Schild

What a great, fun read! Jenny, our heroine, starts out, down in the dumps, bored with her life, but afraid to risk changing her future. The world intervenes and the wild ride starts!
I loved every minute with Jenny, her two old dogs and her miniature "House Horse"! Grab a hot chocolate, a warm blanket and a puppy or two, curl up in front of the fire and settle in for a wonderful Christmas story!
