The Baker collection continues with Amish Honor, where we meet Honor, who can’t wait to find love. Only she finds it with her new brother-in-law, which only makes trouble for the couple that can’t be. They decide to run away, because that is the only thing that makes sense.
Being sensible, Florence finds herself relying on her English neighbor. She finds herself attracted to him, but he is English and there are some things that don’t seem to add up for Florence.
You won’t believe what happens in the second book in the series (which will only make you want to read the entire series)!

I started reading this collection before I started writing book reviews. Now that I am working my way through the final few books, I wanted to let my readers know how much I LOVED every book in this series (and I am on book 34)!
We first meet the Baker family through Mercy. She has always wanted to be married, and when she meets a family friend, she is smitten. It doesn’t take long before she rushes into marriage.
Florence, who has taken over the role of parent in the Baker household, is starting to feel like an old maid (even though she is still within marrying age). She also takes care of the orchard, which gives her little time to think about her own marriage prospects. Besides, who would take care of the orchard if she ever left home?
Then Florence meets her new Englisher neighbor and it turns her life upside down. She has to make a choice, which will affect the rest of her life.
This is the perfect book to start a series. Readers will go from one story to the next so that they can stay in the Baker family!

If I haven’t said it before, Nicholas Sparks is one of my FAVORITE authors. As a reader throughout my life, I devoured books. As I grew up and started to get out of young adult books, Nicholas Sparks was one of the first adult romance authors that I tried (and fell in love with).
Since I started writing reviews on Medium and now here, I have read Counting Miracles. Before I had kids, I have read most of his books. Now, I have been playing catch-up. Plus, I downloaded several Sparks’ books last week, so I will read and review more of them!
In Two By Two, we meet Russell Green. His life seems perfect at thirty-two. He has a beautiful wife and an adorable daughter. He is a successful advertising executive, moving up in his career. His wife, Vivian, can stay home and care for his daughter.
Then, things begin to change. Russ loses his job and tries to start his own advertising company. It isn’t as simple as he had imagined, and his wife decides to go back to work, leaving him in charge of his daughter, while starting a new business.
As Vivian starts traveling more for work, Russ has to pick up the slack, taking care of the house and his daughter while trying to find time to build a business that he can be proud of.
He doesn’t do this alone. He has the help of his loving parents and his amazing sister, Marge. He also runs into an old girlfriend (the one who got away), which makes him question his life even more!
All of Nicholas Sparks’ books make me cry, and this was no exception. As you feel for Russ, who is just trying to do the right thing, it makes you think about your own marriage or relationship. Is it really as stable as you think? Is your good life good enough for someone else? What do you really want out of life?
Readers will adore this book. Another winner by Nicholas Sparks!

Jodi Picoult is one of my favorite authors and in her latest book, A Spark of Light, she does it again!
This time, Picoult writes about the Center, which is a woman’s reproductive health services clinic. Though it helps women get the help that they need to stay healthy and avoid becoming pregnant, the truth is that it is mainly known as one of the last remaining abortion clinics in the state!
Because of this, every day is a battle to get women the care that they need and deserve. However, one fall day brings a gunman into the Center, who starts shooting and taking hostages.
The main police officer and negotiator, Hugh McElroy, takes charge and is ready to do whatever is necessary to get everyone outside safely. However, it becomes personal when he finds out that his fifteen-year-old daughter is inside!
Picoult tells the story backwards, as negotiations take place. You learn about all of the women (and men) that are in the clinic and find out why they were there on that day. You really start to root for those women and the doctor who risked his life daily to help those in need.
If you have never picked up a Picoult novel, you really need to start now. She is not afraid to tackle hard subjects, often from a different point of view. I always reach for her novels as soon as they come out. A Spark of Light is no different!

Emma Havern’s day started like most days. She was working on her pottery in her shed when two policemen showed up at her door. They were giving her the news that nobody wanted to hear. Her husband, Noah, was in a coma after he was in a car accident.
However, that wasn’t the worst news. He was driving a woman who died in the accident and there was a small child involved. She was fine, but nobody really knew who she was. They were hoping that Emma knew.
What conclusion would you come to? Your husband had been traveling a lot more for work, to the point that you were separated. The little girl looked so much like her husband and own daughter that her mind went wild.
All Emma wanted was Noah to wake up and tell her that it was all a big misunderstanding! But in the meantime, who would take care of the little girl? Her mother named Noah as a guardian, so Emma seemed the logical choice, but was she?
What would you do? Emma realizes that she never really knew her husband, and she uses this time to figure out what exactly he was hiding from her.
I LOVED this book. I became so invested in Emma’s life as she tried to continue to raise her daughter, while learning as much as she could about her husband and the little girl who just might be his daughter.
I was completely blown away at the ending. You won’t believe what happened to Emma, Noah, Maya, and the little girl. I can’t wait to grab her next book when it is on sale. I may not even wait that long.

Nurse Sarah Shaw finds herself working the evening shift and worrying about her husband, William. He had just gotten a few weird calls and notes, and he wasn’t answering his phone. When the police come to find her at the hospital, everyone starts talking. William was murdered! And even worse, his new wife is the one that they are looking to pin the murder on.
As the police work to figure out what exactly happened that night and who murdered William (or if he committed suicide), Sarah learns more about her new husband than she imagined. He was hiding things from her, just as she was hiding things from him.
As more notes and deaths occur, things unravel quickly, and you will not know what happened until the very end! I read this book very quickly, because I just had to figure out who was the murderer, and who was safe! You will not see the twist at the end coming.
I loved this book so much, I think that I am going to start reading more thrillers. It is so exciting to try to piece together the crime, and then watch it all unfold in a way that you never imagined!
