And I agree with you about most Christian Fiction... and all those Hallmark movies and most of the Christian movies for the same reasons. The themes are the same, the acting is not the best, and you know how it will end.

It was by a Christian author so I thought it would be good. The truth was I couldn't really stand it and the few references they made to the bible in the first few chapters I read were so awkwardly placed. Just enough to say "hey look, it's a christian book" but not enough to really make sense. Know what I mean? If you email me back I will tell you more about what this book was about and why I did not like it. Its sort of inappropriate to write it here.

I di...I had no idea there was a link-up like this. I did books yesterday just because I wanted to. I ought to have linked up!!<br /><br />I really hate when books are like The Daughters of Temperance Hobbs. You have such high hopes, only to discover that you can't tolerate the writing style and have to put it down. I have had a few like that lately, most recently News of the World. So many people raved about it, but I just couldn't stand the author's writing style of no quotations marks and long, rambling, comma-less sentences.<br /><br />Covenant Child has been on my Goodreads to-read list for a couple years. I have never gotten to it, and now, thanks to your review, I don't think I'll bother. So many books...so little time to bear with duds.<br /><br />Have a great day,<br />Patti Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948766889057998160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-64255787028072679692019-11-13T09:10:27.082-05:002019-11-13T09:10:27.082-05:00PS I really liked The Lost Husband by Center.PS I really liked The Lost Husband by Center.Tanya https://www.blogger.com/profile/15451171508299813896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-90372848073536576752019-11-13T09:09:36.837-05:002019-11-13T09:09:36.837-05:00I agree that the cover doesn't really match th...I agree that the cover doesn't really match the topic of the Emily G. book.
