    Save the Date, Jenny B. JonesTitle: Save the Date
    Author: Jenny B. Jones

    Starred Review: 5 out of 5 stars

    I’ve just recently started to read more Christian fiction. As with Deeanne Gist, who I read on a recommendation from Joy at Edgy Inspirational Romance, I picked up Jenny B. Jones’s Save the Date. Joy wasn’t the only person recommending the book, and I began seeing it everywhere, but it was Joy’s suggestion that she pictured Tom Welling [photo here] as our male hero, Alex, that caught my attention. If you know anything about me, you know I’m a huge “Smallville” fan. And a Clark Kent fan. And a Tom Welling as Clark Kent in “Smallville” fan. So that mention pretty much solidified it for me that I was going to read the book.

    Starred Review: 5 out of 5 stars

    What can I possibly say about Mere Christianity? Honestly, I have no idea why I didn’t read it earlier. Perhaps because I didn’t need it until now. Or perhaps I wouldn’t have understood or appreciated it until now. Regardless, I finally read it. And, quite honestly, it’s brilliant.

    Starred Review: 5 out of 5

    The Book Thief is one of those books that when I’m finished, I carry it with me as though it were my own personal baggage. And I think it will be one of those books I carry with me for a long time.

    Falling in Love with English Boys, Melissa JensenTitle: Falling in Love With English Boys
    Author: Melissa Jensen
    Category: Young Adult
    Publisher: Penguin Speak, December 2010
    Starred Review: 5 out of 5 stars

    As I am a big anglophile, I love books like this. Fun, clever romantic chick-lit or YA books set in England with English boys and presumed accents and titles and princes and — well, I just love them. And I loved Falling in Love with English Boys not only because of the title and the cover (LOVE the cover), but also because it’s about an American girl in London AND it’s contemporary meets historical. What could possibly be better than that?
