The Merchants Daughter - A book review

Image
The Merchants Daughter  by: Melanie Dickerson   An unthinkable danger. An unexpected choice. Annabel, once the daughter of a wealthy merchant, is trapped in indentured servitude to Lord Ranulf, a recluse who is rumored to be both terrifying and beastly. Her circumstances are made even worse by the proximity of Lord Ranulf’s bailiff—a revolting man who has made unwelcome advances on Annabel in the past. Believing that life in a nunnery is the best way to escape the escalation of the bailiff’s vile behavior and to preserve the faith that sustains her, Annabel is surprised to discover a sense of security and joy in her encounters with Lord Ranulf. As Annabel struggles to confront her feelings, she is involved in a situation that could place Ranulf in grave danger. Ranulf’s future, and possibly his heart, may rest in her hands, and Annabel must decide whether to follow the plans she has cherished or the calling God has placed on her heart.

My life and this blog.

Hey Faithful Followers! It's been so long! I'm gonna be very real here. When I started this blog I thought it was a brilliant idea! (Don't get me wrong I still think that!) But the thing is, I was doing it for selfish reasons. I've been thinking a lot lately of coming back to the blogging world and maybe setting something up outside of blogger where I can reach more people. The thing is, I don't want to get in over my head... I've decided that for now I'll be here at this blog, and maybe later start a bigger site for this. Now on to the point of this blog. It will still be the same, reading and reviewing and watching and reviewing. I want to help other young ladies find interesting books that are clean to read! Why? Because when I was younger all you heard from other Christians suggesting books were the same old things, you know what I'm talking about... Little house on the prairie, love comes softly, Anne of Green Gables and the like. Which are fan

Review of The Healers Apprentice by Melanie Dickerson

Image
Two Hearts. One Hope. Rose has been appointed as a healer’s apprentice at Hagenheim Castle, a rare opportunity for a woodcutter’s daughter like her. While she often feels uneasy at the sight of blood, Rose is determined to prove herself capable. Failure will mean returning home to marry the aging bachelor her mother has chosen for her—a bloated, disgusting merchant who makes Rose feel ill. When Lord Hamlin, the future duke, is injured, it is Rose who must tend to him. As she works to heal his wound, she begins to understand emotions she’s never felt before and wonders if he feels the same. But falling in love is forbidden, as Lord Hamlin is betrothed to a mysterious young woman in hiding. As Rose’s life spins toward confusion, she must take the first steps on a journey to discover her own destiny.   Available   here Age group: 14 and up  What reason?: Magic, Romance. I loved this book! Immediately I was hooked on Melanie's writing! She is amazing at writing boo

Youtube video review!!

Image
To start off our Princess week I thought I'd start with this fun Disney princess medley! The video is fun and these guys are pretty decent singers too! They do dress up like Disney princesses... There is a guy in a open  vest top without a shirt under it through the whole video ... so if that makes you uncomfortable don't watch it!! Other then that it is clean, it doesn't have any language. Its a super fun video for those of us who grew up watching Disney movies!                                                       I give it a 8 of 10 stars!!     Surprise there are three of them!!!! The second is my favorite which is yours? Are you excited for Princess/fairy tale week? Any princess movies or books you want me to review? As always thanks for reading!!! ~Hope~

This one can be brutal as well. A few curse words. Drinking (no one gets drunk though..) Romance, kissing, Girl in bikini, and other low cut shirts. Violence with guns. And there are Dinosaurs

Christian Mingle -Movie review

~Christian Mingle~ -a movie review- I'm not going to lie I was really disappointed with this movie! I borrowed it from a friend for Valentines day and only got to watch it this last weekend. Here is the trailer in case you've never heard of it. Age Group?: 12 and up. Depending on your preference Why?: There was kissing and lying. I was really excited to watch this movie, because I had seen both the guy and girl in other movies and really liked them. So I asked my friend if we could borrow it and she let us. (she hadn't even seen it herself. Which I didn't know! But she let us borrow it anyway!) So we had a sleepover with some friends and wanting to watch a sappy romance movie we thought this would be just the ticket! And so we popped it in! A hour and fifteen minutes later....We were all very disappointed and discussed what we thought about it... Here were some of the problems. The humor was cheesy. I'm talking those moments when someone make
