*It Happened At The Fair* Blog Tour



Buckle up ladies and gents! We have a new book by Deeanne Gist!
It is called "It Happened At The Fair"!

So for anyone who is a fan of Deeanne's work you need to pick up this new one :)
If you have never read any of her work do yourself a favor and start!

I get so excited when I see that Deeanne has a new book out and this one was no exception!

As you can probably tell by the title this book is set back in 1893 when the Chicago World's Fair was happening.

I loved getting a glimpse of what it must have been like to get to go to the long ago fair and how people lived back then!

~~~~~~~~~~~
Cullen McNamara has put everything on the line for what he believes in. His inventions mean the world to him and he believes that not only can he make things better but that he can succeed with them. Thus the risk and the hopeful reward.

But when he tries to make his dream come true he realizes that the noise is sodeafening in the Machinery Hall at the fair that is absolutely makes talking with his potential buyers completely impossible. This could very well spell disaster for him and everything he wagered on this possibility of success.

Realizing that he must do something right away he comes up with the idea of hiring someone to teach him to read lips.

His intended teacher however really has no desire to participate in his tutoring.

Being taught to read lips translates into spending much time staring at her nice ones and Cullen soon finds himself completely carried away by his feelings for Della.

With so many things happening in Cullen's life and so many things at stake, what will fall away and what will remain?
~~~~~~~~~

To have those questions answered you must read the book for yourself! Which I recommend you do!

Wish You Were Here Blog Tour Post



This book review is for the novel "Wish You Were Here" by Beth K. Vogt.

I really enjoyed this book. You really end up rooting for Allison and wanting her to not only get back to her good relationship with Christ but also to find herself and her happy ending after all.

Allison struggles with a lot of things and has a lot of soul searching to get through before maybe being able to put her life back together again after leaving her fiance at the alter.

Beth touches on some pretty heavy subjects in this book and I wouldn't say that she does is so much casually but more along the lines of subtly introducing them into the storyline. They are there but are not thrown in your face.

~~~~~~~~~
Allison Denman was supposed to be marrying her loving boyfriend in five days but instead finds herself in the embrace of his brother instead.

Confused beyond measure after this incident she isn't sure any longer if getting married is the next nor right step for her. Learning to let go and let God is one of the biggest lessons that she needs to learn and it going to take her decidedly out of her comfort zone.

I really did like the book and I do recommend it! Buy A Copy!
