Book Reviews

Welcome to An Author’s Take where I share my thoughts on books written by other inspiring Christian authors. Like all of you, I love to read! Isn’t reading such a fantastic escape? I enjoy getting drawn into a good story and feeling the emotions as it unfolds. My favorite books are those that seem to end too soon. I love wondering what could happen next.

With this book review service, it is my goal to introduce you to new authors and some books you haven’t read yet. I promise to provide only honest reviews with just enough detail to pique your interest. I will let you know where to find the books and share if they are on tour.

All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the story!

Blessings,
Jeannine

As a fellow "yooper" who has spent many years away from Michigan, I couldn't wait to dive into this book and indulge

The Underground Book Readers

The Underground Book Readers Unite! As a reader of Terry Overton's books in the past, I was intrigued when I stumbled upon "The Underground Book Readers: United Forces," a teen dystopian novel with an interesting book cover. Having never read a dystopian book targeted toward teenagers before, I was curious to see how the author's storytelling would translate to this genre.
