Favorite Book
Scarlet by Stephen Lawhead
About Me:
Young, married, and fully in love. I love to read all sorts of things, but mostly religious fiction novels as well as L.M. Montgomery books, etc. I grew up a lover of Anne of Green Gables books and films alike. My daddy and I are genealogists and my mama and I are sewing ladies. I've been cross stitching for about ten years, and brand new into quilting. IT IS A DEFINITE LOVE!

My enginerd husband and I live just east of Atlanta, Georgia where he does his engineer things and I read books, lots of books, and quilt, and sometimes cross stitch. I have always been a book-a-holic and ever since entering the book review world have completely fallen in head-over-hills and hope to never leave my little library. As an attempt to show my mother and sisters what I am up to I created Creative Madness where I post pictures of current quilt project and many many book reviews. I thrive on Historical Fiction, but love many others as well.

Cinderella by Sarah L. Thomson

This story of Cinderella is based on the version collected and published by the seventeenth-century author Charles Perrault. Perrault's Cinderella echoes the elegance and luxury of the French court of King Louis XIV, and it's from his version that we get the famous glass slippers. Sarah L. Thomson's beautiful retelling of the classic fairy tale is matched with the uniquely stunning artwork of Nicoletta Ceccoli. This is a picture book to treasure. Continue reading

Dear Margaret:

You may not know me or my work, but I am the national bestselling, award winning novelist of six critically acclaimed novels who has been twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction.

On Jan 9th, 2010 my debut novel, SUGAR will celebrate its 10th anniversary and in order to commemorate this milestone I am campaigning to sell 10,000 copies between now and that date.



“Bernice L. McFadden's first novel begins with the brief, poetic description of a crime so startling that the reader is helplessly drawn in, as if a bright red door stood ajar on a bleak and forbidding house. Pearl Taylor's daughter, Jude, has been found murdered and mutilated near a field at the edge of town. "The murder had white man written all over it," writes McFadden. "But no one would say it above a whisper. It was 1940. It was Bigelow, Arkansas. It was a black child. Need any more be said?" In the years that follow, Pearl catches sight of Jude in so many strangers that when Sugar Lacey comes to town and sets up her unwholesome "business" in the house next door, she doesn't know whether to believe what she sees in Sugar's face: a striking similarity to Jude, dead 15 years. In her sedate but supple prose--rising at times to a light, unforced lyricism in the description of landscape or character--the author perfectly renders the closed and protective society of a small Southern town, the superstitions, gossip, and prying.”


I’m asking that you purchase a copy of SUGAR for yourself, a friend or family member. And yes, KINDLE purchases count.

If you could help spread the word by blogging, twittering and Face-booking my campaign, it would mean the world to me.


Peace & Light,

Bernice L. McFadden

Friends of the Library Presentation

On Monday (Sept. 15th), I have been asked to come speak to the Friends of the Library at a local library about what I do (I'm a blogging book reviewer). It was through telling someone about the book reviews and how Christian Fiction has grown by leaps and bounds and is so fabulous these days that they found me.



It is my thought to make this a good introduction to why I (and so many other people) write book reviews and post them all over the internet for people to find. I would like… Continue
