Favorite Book Friday

Rising Star (Coastal Hearts series 4) by Janet W. Ferguson contemporary Christian romance. This book wasn't anywhere on my list until I read an short excerpt and saw a familiar song title, "Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits." I waited for the book to be released and bought it. I laughed and cried and loved the story. Star and Paul struggle like most Christians. Life isn't sweet or nice. They have tough lessons to learn. They each reminded me of myself and my own struggles. I loved the visit to Ireland and the peek into the missionary work in Africa. I'm looking forward to reading more books by Janet W. Ferguson.

Pshaw appears by 1670, so I replaced tsk with pshaw.

Monday Quote

I do not sit down at my desk to put into verse something that is already clear in my mind. 

If it were clear in my mind, I should have no incentive or need to write about it. 

We do not write in order to be understood; we write in order to understand.

~ C. S. Lewis

Sunday Scripture

Ruth 2:3

And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.

Tsk makes it's first official appearance in 1947, far too late for my Regency stories.

Favorite Book Friday

Love at Sunset Lake (Abundance series) by Sally Bayless contemporary Christian romance. What a wild roller-coaster ride. I recognized bits of myself in her characters. I've made some of the same mistakes. The messes I landed myself in because I didn't bother to check in with God. A satisfying happy ending.

Update: I've less than three chapters to edit. The end is in sight. I've finally stopped finding words that weren't used in Regency times. Woohoo! Which isn't a Regency exclamation. Fancy that!
