Erin's May-June 2023 Books

I started leaning pretty heavily into questions as I wrote this brief snippets. What do you think? 😉 


"𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝" 𝐛𝐲 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞
A disgraced megachurch pastor finds a new career as a cook near Yellowstone National Park, where he seeks healing and soul restoration. Review: 

"𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐞" 𝐛𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐲 𝐖𝐚𝐝𝐞
This was a reread—except this time I listened to it on audio! Still 5 stars. Original review HERE.

"𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐈'𝐦 𝐎𝐧" 𝐛𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐞 𝐎'𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧
My Bible study group took two years going through this book, and I feel like we all got a lot out of it. Recommended!

"𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭" 𝐛𝐲 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐫
If you like fairy tale retellings, this one is Snow White set in historic Texas! I thought it was fun and clever. 

"𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲" 𝐛𝐲 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞
What if the tragic accident that took the life of your teenage son also took the last six years of your memory? What if the past you can't remember is actually what you'd rather forget? 

"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐈𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐲" 𝐛𝐲 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚 𝐋𝐨𝐲
A fun novella about a tourist who makes a deal with someone who can't stand tourists. What will happen with a bit of magic? This story was written by one of my critique partners. You can read it free HERE.

"𝐃𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐈 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞" 𝐛𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐡 𝐊. 𝐕𝐨𝐠𝐭
What happens when two stubborn writers are forced by their editors to work together? Lots of arguing, that's what! And maybe a spark of romance.

"𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐚" 𝐛𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐠
Can two decades-old mysteries be solved? Can two people who have never gotten along plan a wedding for someone very dear to them? 

𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐬 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭
Names withheld. I rated both of them 3 stars.
