Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover- This was my first Colleen Hoover read. She had been on my list for awhile because I heard SO many people talking about her books and recommending them. I heard someone say this one was good, and this is the available one I could find for my kindle before a trip I was taking, so this was the one. It's about Kenna, who just served years in prison for a tragic mistake, and returned to town to try to connect with her daughter, though everyone is trying to shut her out. She connects with Ledger, who also has a connection to her daughter, and they fall in love and it's about the balance of risk and trust. It was an enjoyable read. A bit too steamy at times. Not my favorite, but good. The ending was sweet.

What Women Fear: Walking in Faith that Transforms by Angie Smith- I had read this book for a women's Bible study group many years ago and remember loving it, and our women in our life group did it again last year. I think this is a great book to read with a group of women! I love how she weaves personal stories along with Biblical stories in each chapter. Chapters are about different fears such as fear of abandonment, fear of trusting God's plan, fear of what if, fear of death, etc. I found every single chapter to be incredibly relatable and got a lot out of each one!

On Our Knees: 40 Days to Living Boldly in Prayer by Phil Wickham- Kley and I just finished reading this together. We did it in much longer than 40 days, but we got it done! There is scripture in the beginning of each day, then a devotional, ending with a prayer and questions at the end (so Kley and I broke each day into three parts and read a little before bed at night). It was a great devotional, and I just love every song Phil Wickham ever comes out with!
