It's the final day at the Lodge! But don't worry, the fun is not over yet. We still have one room left to visit, and one last genre to do! Then we'll pack up our things and announce the giveaway winner before heading home. :D Soooo, here we go!
Friends, please follow me to the books room! The air here is heavy with the sweet, fragrant aroma of old leather. Full bookshelves line each wall, and the soft couches and bean-bag chairs tucked into every free corner are perfect spots to curl up and read. Also, Rebekah Morris was kind enough to supply a free e-copy of Cookies: Ria and the Gang, a great little story and one of my favorites by her. :) The link to that is at the bottom of this post, so keep reading!
The final genre for the week: TOP FIVE FAVORITES FROM 2020.
THERE WAS ALWAYS LAUGHTER IN OUR HOUSE
Inspiring, well-written, full of laughter, and soooo relatable. Find my full review
HERE.
RED ROVER, RED ROVERA clean and uplifting read. :D The Emily Abbott series (as of right now) consists of seven books, and I had them all read within a 24 hour period. The first was one of the best for me. Find my review for Red Rover HERE.
MORE TALES FROM MEMORY CREEK RANCH
A delightful addition to the Circle C Milestones series and a joy to help edit. Find my review

DYLAN'S STORY
This book completely tore me up. (in a good way, of course.) <3 Loved the lessons on forgiveness! 100% recommend.
OVERCOMER What wasn't there to like about this book??? The characters were incredibly well done and the plot was amazing. I love that the author(s) wrote from a very Christian viewpoint. :D :D :D
AND THE FREE SHORT STORY:
Welllll, sad as it may be, I'm afraid the week has finally wrapped to a close. I hope you guys enjoyed your stay and will come to the Lodge again next year! Also, don't forget to hop over to Rebekah's blog and find out who won the giveaway! <3 <3 <3

What are five of your favorite books from the past year?
I've read all of these and enjoyed them! (Hmm....I wonder where you got the "Overcomer" recommendation…)
ReplyDeleteYes, I figured those who've followed my blog for a while would not be surprised by today's post, as I've shared about almost every one of these books before. 😂
DeleteCongrats for winning the giveaway!! Hope you enjoy all your new treasures! 🥰
Wow! I'm very honored to be on your list.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Sarah!! Your book definitely deserves a shout-out. 😄
DeleteSuch a great list! I've read all but the last one. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for being a part of this year's Five Fall Favorites blog party! I've enjoyed visiting each day and seeing what books you like. :D
Thanks!! 😊
DeleteAbsolutely! It's been fun! 😀 I'm already looking forward to next year's party. 😁
I soooo want to read Dylan's Story!!!
ReplyDeleteI've read the first two books you mentioned and they are awesome :D
So is Cookies. ;)
Ooh, yes! "Dylan's Story" was everything I hoped for and more! Totally worth a high place on your TBR. 🥰
DeleteThanks for all your comments throughout the week, Katja! I loved reading each one. 💕
YAY! The Book Room! I love FFF! *grins*
ReplyDeleteAll of these books look super fun, though I haven't read any of them. I'm going to have to read that Circle C book. "Overcomer" is actually the only Kendrick Brothers movie I haven't seen (haven't read the book either)... got to get that fixed.
Same here, Natalie!! 😄 So glad to know you enjoyed your week at the Lodge. 🥰
DeleteAww, yay! Happy reading! 🤗
My top five favorite books of the year were "More Tales From Memory Creek Ranch," "Little Women," "Little Men," "Anne's House of Dreams," and "The Mysterious Benedict Society."
ReplyDeleteThanks, Caitlyn!! I actually have a number of those books on my TBR. They sound great! 😀
DeleteI've read and enjoyed three of these! The ones I haven't read are "Overcomer" and "More Tales from Memory Creek Ranch". :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Hope you can read those last two soon, they're soooooo good. 😄
