Book Review: Pattern of Wounds by J. Mark Bertrand

I apologize, I read this book a while back and completely forgot to hit the "post" button when I was done.  This book may have been out for a couple of weeks by now!

Pattern of Wounds by J. Mark Bertrand

If you like a series type of book that can also be read as a stand-alone book, this is a good one.  I didn't realize that there were other books in the Roland March Mystery series until I read some other reviews after reading it.  This is a good fiction book with a spiritual lining.  It takes the typical murder mystery and puts a little background spirituality to it.  I would think that God and Christian values will be more evident in the future books because you can see the main character working through his issues of anger towards God.  I can really relate to the character because I am also in law enforcement and it is very difficult for people in my field to accept and trust God as loving and merciful sometimes.  If you're looking for an interesting murder mystery book without all the language and blood, but with a thread of Christianity woven into it, this would be a good choice.  If you're looking for a obvious Christian fiction book, you may want to head somewhere else.

I did find this book an interesting read and a nice substitution to the typical foul language murder mystery books.

Book Review: A Vision of Lucy

I apologize, I read this book a while back and completely forgot to hit the "post" button when I was done.  This book may have been out for a couple of weeks by now!


A Vision of Lucy  By Margaret Brownley

This books wasn't exactly my cup of tea, but it was a fun read that offered a little spiritual insight into a woman's life.  What I learned from this book is that God is in control and even when two people look like they are completely wrong for each other, God may have a plan for them.  This reminds me of my husband and I....you couldn't get two more different people, but God has created something wonderful out of it.  I also like the theme of the book that even though you may feel unlovable and unworthy, you are ALWAYS worthy in His eyes and He has placed someone on this earth to love you for who you are.

All in all, a good, albeit simple, read.  Would be a nice beach book or a weekend book when you're snowed in.

Library Books Now Availbale for the Kindle!!!!!!

If you've got a local library card (Roanoke Valley, Salem, etc), go here to see what books are available from Roanoke County's e-library system (run by OverDrive).  I'm really excited to see Amazon moving into the area that all the other e-book readers have already been.  They should darn well know by now that people will get someone else's device that is compatible if yours is not.

Be aware, that as of right now, there are only less than 2,500 books available for us to borrow (that's like .15% of what Amazon has available for sale online).  Hopefully this library will grow over time and we can get our hands on some good books without having to head to the library for the paper copy.

You can also go to BookLending.com to lend or borrow a Kindle book for FREE!
