Nonfiction by Beth Moore
This was a good honest memoir that really helped me understand the author's life in its complexity. Also having it read in her own voice is a bonus!

The Younger Wife
Fiction by Sally Hepworth
Heather Wisher is the titular Younger Wife, and the story opens at her wedding. In attendance is, of course, Stephen (the Older Groom) and his grown daughters, Rachel and Tully and... Stephen's ex-wife Pam? All of these five people are emotionally strained, possibly to a breaking point, so it's no surprise that something happens. But what exactly happens will not be revealed until the final chapters.
This was a great story with good characters and several surprises! I like this author a lot.

The Final Life Of Nathaniel Moon
Fiction by Shawn Inmon
This was an interesting book. I’m not sure I’m buying the author’s worldview, although I’ve read several of his novels now. The deeper you go into the time-travel idea, the harder it gets to sustain.
In this story, Nathaniel is born with otherworldly knowledge and special abilities beyond human understanding, and it’s up to his mother to both protect him and develop his gifts. It’s an exciting book but definitely an odd one.

Nora Goes Off Script
Fiction by Annabel Monaghan
Nora is a romance screenwriter whose husband has just left her. So, of course, she writes a script about it! But when Hollywood comes to film at her house, she gets more than she expected.
This was a fun story, a could-have-been-formulaic romance that still managed to surprise you!

The Death and Life of Dominick Davidner
Fiction by Shawn Inmon
This is the third book in a series; I'd describe it as a parallel novel to The Redemption of Michael Hollister rather than a sequel, however.
The author describes it as a love story but not a romance, which is a great description. I enjoyed it!
