New Website

You probably will notice that I have changed my website and blog name. I felt that "Blogging4Him" just wasn't a great name for a review blog. I started this blog over a year ago, and couldn't really find a blog name that suited me then. Now I have. All my former posts are probably still linked up to the old blog somewhere on the internet, but it is officially gone. So from now on its, ReviewsbySoleil.

With Christa Kinde's new book Pursuing Prissie hot off the press, Rough and Tumble is a great prequel that will help you know the characters from Pursuing Prissie even better. Her easy to read and exciting short stories entertsin those of all sges. As a fan of the Threshold Series, I would definitely suggest this short book.

5 out of 5 stars

Angels on High

                              

Christa Kinde is one of my favorite authors. Each book she writes has a purpose and a lesson entwined in the story. Angels on High is no different. The prequel to the Threshold Series starts at Koji's beginning. His time with God, his Sending, his time being an apprentice to none and all. The fall of an angel that is close, the joining of a flight. The beginning of new friendships. But as each lesson continues, danger lurks, and the Light shines forth.

Koji's is one of my favorite angel characters in the Threshold series, and to read his beginning and to see his journey is really cool. The story keeps you guessing, and the pages turning. The author's writing is easy to read and very enjoyable. Great for readers young and old, Angels on High is a must read for the Threshold Series fans.

I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Five Brides

One dress, five women, a lifetime of memories.
Five single, fiercely independent women live together in a Chicago apartment in the early 1950s but rarely see one another. One Saturday afternoon, as they are serendipitously together downtown, they spy a wedding dress in a storefront window at the famous Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co. After trying it on―much to the dismay of the salesclerk and without a single boyfriend or date between the five of them―they decide to pool their money to purchase it. Can one dress forever connect five women who live together only a short time before taking their own journeys to love and whatever comes happily ever after?

I enjoyed this book, as the storyline of five brides sharing one wedding gown is intriguing. Although there were parts I didn't like, or thought that it dragged the story out. The main thing that caught my attention on this book is that it is based on a true story, and the author interviewed one of the five brides. The other four girls stories were mainly fictional, though based on a few facts. 
As each girl goes on her journey in life, the pros and cons, they all help each other through the trials. 

I would rate this book 3.5 out of 5 stars

The Mapmaker's Children

        

Summary: Sarah Brown, the vibrant, talented daughter of abolitionist John Brown, finds her life forever altered when she stumbles across her father's work on the Underground Railroad. Although reeling from the shocking news that she won't ever bear children, Sarah realizes that her artistic talents may be able to save the lives of slaves fleeing north. Taking cues from slave code quilts, Sarah hides maps within her paintings, becoming one of the Underground Railroad's leading mapmakers. As the country steers toward bloody civil war, Sarah faces difficult sacrifices that could put  all she loves in peril.
   Over one hundred and fifty years later, Eden Anderson, a modern-day woman struggling to conceive a child, moves to an old house in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., as a last-ditch effort to save her marriage and start a family. There she discovers a porcelain doll head hidden in the root cellar -the remains of an Underground Railroad doll with an extraordinary past of secret messages, danger, and deliverance. Sarah and Eden's connection bridges the past and present, forcing each of them to define courage, family, love, and legacy in a new way.

The Mapmaker's Children was a relatively okay book. I felt that the connection from the two main characters, Sarah and Eden, were a bit too far connected at first, though later in the book it joined together a little more. The idea of the story was great, and was inspired by the real Sarah Brown who actually did paint hidden maps for the Underground Railroad. One thing though, was that even though God was mentioned, it wasn't elaborated on as it could have been.

I would rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.
