Merrill Krause longs for a family of her own, but she's bound by a
promise to her dying mother to care for her father and older brothers
until they no longer need her. She enjoys being part of the family
business, harvesting ice during the brutal Minnesota winters. Merrill
actively takes part, possessing a keen ability to work with the
horses--despite the advice of her good friend, who disapproves of her
unladylike behavior.
When Rurik Jorgenson arrives in their small
town to join his uncle doing carpentry, he soon crosses paths with
Merrill. But unlike other men, who are often frightened away by her
older brothers, Rurik isn't intimidated by them or by Merrill's strength
and lack of femininity. As he thrives under the mentorship of his
uncle, Rurik dreams of inheriting the business and claiming Merrill as
his wife. But while he is determined to start a new life, the past is
determined to follow him when his former fiancee and her brother show up
in town. Soon Rurik is put in the center of a major scandal that may
damage his relationship with Merrill. Can they learn to trust God--and
each other--and embrace the promise of love?
PS: Isn't this a lovely cover?

Abigail is moved to start collecting other swatches of fabric she finds – her neighbor’s kitchen curtains, a man’s necktie, a dog’s bed – which she stashes in shopping bags. As she pursues her seemingly absurd quest, horrible realities spark the question, “What kind of a God would allow such tragedy?” As she struggles to reconcile her right to happiness amidst the destruction, Abigail begins piecing together a patchwork quilt from the salvaged fabric in hopes it will bring some peace. But a new relationship with Justin, a contractor, may require too much of her fragile heart. Will her pain and questions of faith give way to the courage to love?

She’s delighted to learn of the family she never knew she had. And the handsome Coast Guard lieutenant she’s met there on the island could definitely be the man of her dreams.
But Libby soon realizes that the only way she can afford the upkeep on the inn is to sell it to developers who are stalking the island. The father who willed her the inn has died before she could meet him, and her newfound brother and sister are convinced she’s there to steal their birthright. Worst of all, her best friend and business partner has been kidnapped before her eyes, and Libby’s under suspicion for the crime.
Libby’s dream come true is becoming a nightmare. Her only option is to find her friend and prove her innocence, or lose everything on the shores of Hope Island.

Today's Book is Wildflowers from Winter Here by Katie Ganshert
I was in love with this book! You can read my full review here.
Description:
Like the winter, grief has a season. Life returns with the spring.
A
young architect at a prestigious Chicago firm, Bethany Quinn has built
the life she dreamed of during her teen years in a trailer park. An
unexpected interruption from her estranged mother reveals that tragedy
has struck in her hometown and a reluctant Bethany is called back to
rural Iowa.
Determined to pay her respects to her past while
avoiding any emotional entanglements, she vows not to stay long. But the
unexpected inheritance of five hundred acres of farmland and a
startling turn of events in Chicago forces Bethany to come up with a new
plan.
Handsome farmhand Evan Price has taken care of the Quinn
farm for years. When Bethany is left the land, Evan must fight her
decisions to realize his dreams. But even as he disagrees with Bethany’s
vision, Evan feels drawn to her and the pain she keeps so carefully
locked away.
For Bethany, making peace with her past and the God
of her childhood doesn’t seem like the path to freedom. Is letting go
the only way to new life, love and a peace that she’s not even sure
exists?

Today's Book is Wish You Were Here by Beth Vogt
I loved this book! Read my full review here.
Description:
Still, kissing the groom's brother in an unguarded moment is decidedly not the right thing to do. How could she have made such a mistake? It seems Allison's life is nothing but mistakes at this point. And pulling a "Runaway Bride" complete with stealing, er, borrowing her best friend's car doesn't seem to solve her problems.
Can Allison find her way out of this mess? Maybe she just needs to stop orchestrating everything. Allison prefers being the one in control, and giving it up is not going to be easy. But to find her way again, she will have to believe that God has a plan for her and find the strength to let Him lead.

When police discover a homemade bomb under Emily's car, and she then learns the wife of one of her friends was murdered that same morning, she knows things are deadly serious. But who wants Emily dead? And why?

As she frantically works to solve this ever more complicated puzzle, Emily finds herself playing right into the killer's hands.

Today's question: How do you feel about flying? Does it scare you to travel by airplane?
My Answer: It doesn't really scare me anymore. I've had to travel by plane a lot since I live so far from my family. I had one frightening flight with lots of turbulence, but the worst part was the woman behind me who kept letting out horrible screams every time the plane hit turbulence.

Today's book is: Full Disclosure by Dee Henderson
Description:
Dee Henderson Is Back! Ann Silver is a cop's cop. As the Midwest
Homicide Investigator, she is called in to help local law enforcement on
the worst of cases, looking for answers to murder. Hers is one of the
region's most trusted investigative positions. Paul Falcon is the
FBI's top murder cop in the Midwest. If the victim carried a federal
badge or had a security clearance, odds are good Paul and his team see
the case file or work the murder.
Their lives intersect when Ann arrives to pass a case off her desk and onto his. A car wreck and a suspicious death offer a lead on a hired shooter he is tracking. Paul isn't expecting to meet someone, the kind that goes on the personal side of the ledger, but Ann Silver has his attention. The better he gets to know her, the more Paul realizes her job barely scratches the surface of who she is. She knows spies and soldiers and U.S. Marshals, and has written books about them. She is friends with the former Vice President. People with good reason to be cautious about who they let into their lives deeply trust her. Paul wonders just what secrets Ann is keeping, until she shows him the John Doe Killer case file, and he starts to realize just who this lady he is falling in love with really is...
My Thoughts:
Yep, I'm behind on reading theses...my reviews will have to come later.

Today's question: Today's book is about a dog. How do you feel about dogs? Have you ever been afraid of a dog?
My Answer: I used to be quite afraid of dogs. I got bit by one when I was little. Now that I have a dog, I feel better around them, but am still intimidated by big dogs. One came after me a few weeks ago when I was out for a walk. He was lunging at me, barking and snarling. The owner just stood there and didn't do anything! I was frustrated that the owner wouldn't apologize for scaring me at least. Now I walk a different route.

Today's book is: Trinity: Military War Dog by Ronie Kendig
Description:
A year ago in Afghanistan, Green Beret Heath Daniel’s career was destroyed. Along with his faith. Now he and his military war dog, Trinity, train other dogs and their handlers. Though his passion is to be back in action, the medical discharge has forced Heath—and Trinity—to the sidelines.
Military intelligence officer Darci Kintz is captured while secretly tracking the Taliban. Only one dog can handle the extreme conditions to save her. Trinity. Only one man can handle Trinity. Time is running out on the greatest—and most dangerous—mission of their lives.
My Thoughts:
