Countdown ~ Lynette Eason
This is Where it Ends ~ Cindy K. Sproles
This is a Christian Historical Read that takes place during the 1900's in Kentucky mountains. This is the Minerva's story of how all her life she has kept her husbands secret and she just may reveal it now at 94 and close to the end of life. She has always kept the box her husband gave her and never opened it as he instructed her to do. When a reporter comes to visit and tries to find her story that he can report on, will she tell the secret and open the box? Or will she keep the secret and never know what is in the box?
I recommend this to anyone that love to read a mystery and story about one women and how she dealt with a secret all her life, could you be able to hold onto this mystery? I felt myself so into reading her story and wanting to know the secret that I couldn't put the book down. If you want a great read, pick up this book, but make sure you have hours to read from cover to cover. You won't be able to put down.

Her Only Wish ~ Shelley Shepard Gray
This is book 2 of the A Season in Pinecraft series, an Amish Christian read. Betsy is young and ready to see the world, she sets out to accomplish her bucket list in Pinecraft, Florida. She starts out her journey of taking golf lessons and meets August. They become friends and start to hang out together.

Betsy meets new friends and is getting close to August, could there be more? When things start to happen unexpectedly, how does this effect Betsy and her plan to experience new things in life?
I would recommend this book if you are a fan of Amish, if you want a good relaxing summer afternoon read and if you just enjoy a book that will tug at your heart. This book deals with everyday life issues that each of us may struggle with, society, rules, and trying to please family. This is book 2 of the series, however, it can be read as a stand alone.

He’s there on a whim. She’s there to help her aunt. They’re both missing something. Can it be each other?
“Find your Perfect Match this summer at the seaside…” The Forever Yours matchmaking agency is hosting a vacation package week in Seaview, Florida. Taking a break from her busy but unrewarding life in Chicago, Callie Winthrop has come to town to find respite at her beloved Aunt Fran’s bed and breakfast.
When the CEO of Forever Yours – who just happens to be staying at the inn for the event – offers Callie the opportunity to attend the activities and meet the most eligible bachelors in the country, how can she say no?
Jackson Thorne, a successful Tampa contractor, can’t believe the nerve of his brother, who actually thought it was a good idea to sign him up for a matchmaking vacation this summer. Jackson acknowledges, however, that he has been avoiding commitment ever since his last relationship ended in tragedy. Hence it may actually be good for him to start dating again – much as he would hate to admit it. Maybe there’s even a chance he could meet the woman of his dreams this summer?

Super Doople ~ k.a. cummins
I would recommend this book to those that have little children and want a picture book that has a lesson to be learned when reading. It is a cute story and is based on humpty dumpty. It was fun and had story questions at the end of the book to discuss with the readers.

About the Book
Book: Super Doople
Author:K.A. Cummins
Genre:Picture Book
Release date: May 4, 2023
You’ve heard the legend of Humpty Dumpty, but do you know the legend of Super Doople? He’s faster than a chicken. He flies higher than an ostrich. No fall can break his shell! And he was once Little Doople, a small and fragile egg like all the other dooples, until his bad habit of not listening caught up to him.
Engaging text with expressive illustrations, Super Doople is a lighthearted tale about resilience and learning to listen. This funny picture book for ages 3-8 is perfect for reading aloud in the classroom or at home.

More from K.A. Cummins
“Super Doople” started with a comic sketch and the idea of what if a scientist put Humpty Dumpty back together again? At first, it was more for fun and to explore creating comics. In fact, in the first version, he bounced like a ball when he hit the ground.
But the idea stuck! I continued to gravitate back to it, enjoying the exploration of telling a story with words and drawings. Many sketches and several versions later, the character became Little Doople, a hopeful and determined boy with a dream of flying who, through a series of events, transforms into Super Doople.
It’s been so much fun working with Little Doople, especially having our youngest son engaged with the story. Our youngest is sixteen now and has a talented eye for design. He’s one of the first people I ask for art critiques (the other being my husband). He even helped me come up with the name doople, for both the character and the egg-people in the story. We brainstormed in the car on a two-hour drive home.
The joy of creating this story, and from the story itself, has become its own source of inspiration. I haven’t stopped brainstorming more story ideas for Little Doople. I’ve even started plotting some of them, but those are under wraps for now.
However, being a homeschool mom and former educator in other forms, I wanted to share a free educational resource to go along with “Super Doople.” So I’ve put together a few science egg-periments, activities, and coloring pages suitable for younger children that’s available for FREE on my TpT store: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Doople-Science-Hands-on-Learning-Activities-9145443.
Hope you and your children enjoy reading “Super Doople.”
