Posted on February 17, 2020 by Kendra Jernejcic • 0 Comments

I’m finally caught up on sharing book reviews, which means that this round-up is made up of books I read in the past month rather than organized by category. I am excited to share these reviews! The Red Tent, by Anita Diament: For years I’ve seen this book popping up on lists of top book… Continue Reading

Quick Lit: Reading Wrap-Up // Mysteries and Thrillers

Posted on February 12, 2020 by Kendra Jernejcic • 4 Comments

Mysteries were my first literary love, the genre that made me a lifelong reader. I cut my reading teeth on the Boxcar Children and Nancy Drew, then graduated to Agatha Christie and beyond. While I read more broadly these days, I’ve never lost my love for a great mystery or thriller (although today’s batch of… Continue Reading

With Valentine’s Day coming up this week, it seemed like the perfect time to share some of the love stories I’ve read in the last couple of months. Romance isn’t generally a genre I’m quick to reach for, but most of these were read around Christmas time when I wanted to dig into a feel-good… Continue Reading

The books in today’s batch of reviews are all about relationships—but not necessarily the conventional type! The Life Giving Home: Creating a Place of Belonging and Becoming, by Sally and Sarah Clarkson: There was a time when family life—all of life, really—centered around the home. Every woman was well-versed in the art of hospitality and… Continue Reading

This year as I pursue joy, I plan to read a new book about joy every season. To keep myself accountable, I’ll be sharing reviews on the blog, along with updates on how I’m doing with choosing joy, and what God is teaching me through this pursuit.

Quick Lit: Reading Wrap-Up // Essay & Memoir

Posted on January 24, 2020 by Kendra Jernejcic • 0 Comments

In the not-so-distant past, life stories (in the form of biographies, essays, and memoirs) weren’t a genre I was particularly drawn to. However, in recent years, these types of books have become some of my favorite things to read. The books I’m sharing today all fall into the broader category of life stories; while they… Continue Reading

While the Bible will always be my primary source for learning about God and growing my faith, over the last few years the Lord has used books by Christian authors to inform my faith in some interesting ways. The books in today’s round-up explore different aspects of Christianity, shedding light on the life of a… Continue Reading

Quick Lit: Reading Wrap-Up // Books for Personal Growth

Posted on January 20, 2020 by Kendra Jernejcic • 0 Comments

It’s the genre of a million names—self help, personal development, personal growth, self improvement. . . . And the opinions on it are just as numerous. Many people avoid these types of books like the plague, but I can’t get enough of them. It’s rare for a book to have an enormous lasting impact on… Continue Reading

Quick Lit: Reading Wrap-Up // Five-Star Reads

Posted on January 13, 2020 by Kendra Jernejcic • 6 Comments

As you’ve likely noticed, I am fairly stingy with my star ratings. While I tend to enjoy (or at least find something to like about) most of what I read, it takes a really special book to earn that fifth star from me. The books I’m sharing in today’s batch of reviews each had that… Continue Reading

Quick Lit: Reading Wrap-Up // Stories of Complicated Families

Posted on January 10, 2020 by Kendra Jernejcic • 0 Comments

Families are complicated—in real life, and especially in fiction. While prickly family dynamics aren’t usually fun to navigate in the real world, they can make for fantastic stories. In fact, some of my favorite books in recent years (Ask Again, Yes, A Place For Us, and This Must Be the Place all come to mind)… Continue Reading
