A Novel Idea

NEW BOOK IN THE  BRIGHT LIGHTS LENDING LIBRARY ! Mercy at Midnight "How one courageous woman set prisoners free." Author: Lois Hoadley Dick Description: Matilda Wrede (1864-1928) was a wealthy member of the Finnish nobility who left a life of privilege to take the gospel to prison inmates and work on their behalf for social justice. She began visiting prisons at the age of twenty and became known throughout Finland as the "friend of prisoners". Mercy at Midnight is a story based on the remarkable life of this young woman who gave up everything to serve the despised prisoners of Finland. My thoughts on this book: Mercy at Midnight was such an encouraging and inspiring story of the life of a woman. Matilda Wrede's ministry with the prisoners of Finland really began at the age of seven when her heart was first opened to them. It was at the age of twelve that she made her first visit to a prison nearby her home and from then on dedicated her life to that service. Wh...

Good morning. It's getting a little bit late in the day to say that but my mind is still waking up. :) Today I'm reviewing the second book in the River of Time series, Cascade. This book is probably my favorite in the river of time series. Although, Torrent, the next book is a close tie. I like how Gabriella's sister, Lia, and her mom were in this book. Even though I really like Gabriella, I think Lia is someone I can relate to more.  Have a great day! Book Title: Cascade Series: River of Time (Book #2) Author: Lisa Tawn Bergren Description: Mom touched my underdress—a gown made six hundred years before—and her eyes widened as she rubbed the raw silk between thumb and forefinger. She turned and touched Lia’s gown. “Where did you get these clothes?” In Cascade , the second book in the River of Time Series, Gabi knows she’s left her heart in the fourteenth century and she persuades Lia to help her to return, even though they know doing so will risk their very lives....

Hey everyone. Here's my first official post on a book. I plan on doing the other books in this series throughout the next few weeks. If you haven't read Waterfall or the rest of the series you are totally missing out! I came across Waterfall, the first book in the River of Time series, through an email my mom forwarded to me from the publisher David C. Cook. I am always looking for new exciting books to read and my mom thought I might enjoy this one. I was a little skeptical after reading the description because I'm not really a big fan on all that time traveling fantasy. I like books that have more of a realistic feel to them and I wasn't familiar with the author, Lisa T. Bergren. But, even with all my doubts, it was free in the kindle edition on Amazon for a time so I figured I'd give it a try. Well, after ten minutes into reading the first pages in the book I was hooked! I was instantly whisked away with the main character Gabriella into mediev...

Hello everyone, my name is Rebecca and I'd like to tell you all a little about myself. My middle name is actually Ann but I like to go by the name Rebecca Lynn after a song my Dad always sang for me. My most favorite thing to do is read. I've read literally hundreds of book s and someday I hope to become an author myself. Now all I have to do is just finish writing a novel I started. (slow progress).  I'm a home-schooled student and in my free time when I'm not reading, a rare time, I enjoy doing school. I've come to the conclusion that I'm a little different seeing most of the people I know don't enjoy school but seriously it's one of my favorite things to do. I have a big family of nine siblings, four brothers and five sisters, so I am never in lack of companionship. (although sometimes in lack of solitude :p ) I live in a beautiful country area in the state of Pennsylvania. Someday I hope to travel all over the world. I've already planned my first...
