A new Firmament book!!!!!!
Okay, so I might just be a little too excited about this book. But really, Grace is one of very, very few sci-fi authors I actually like and her books are the only ones I really read. So when she comes out with a new one, I kind of get excited.
Today, she's revealing her GORGEOUS book cover. Seriously! Just look at it:
And she has a tantalizing description to go with it, too.
About the Book
You never escape your past
Andi Lloyd is more comfortable than most with
interstellar travel, but she's not prepared for the perils and peculiarities of
a world she has all but forgotten—the planet Earth. As the Surveyor undergoes
repairs, her brother August receives a message with news that will send both of
them across the world to a place he never wanted to visit again.
Neither of them are prepared to be thrust into a world of
political intrigue amid the tangled forests and crumbling ruins of
Austria. They aren't prepared to encounter wild animals and endure
cross-country hikes. And they definitely
aren't prepared to face it all alone.
But despite the dangers they must press on into the
unknown to find a way to save Andi's life, to decide the fate of Earth
itself—and to rescue a lonely girl who just happens to be their little sister.
Whoa! Andi and August have a sister? I don't know about you, but I want to read this book. A lot!

Onward and Westward!
About the Book
After duty as an ambulance driver in World War I, Ellie
Morgan returns to Chicago to take up her share of the work in her grandparents’
department store. Ellie doesn’t want to alienate her family or disappoint them,
but despite a six year effort to settle in, she feels increasingly trapped in
store routine. Meanwhile, her grandmother urges her to marry a local politician
and help him succeed in his chosen field. Ellie’s grandfather, however, wants
to see her happy and independent. “Go West, young woman, go west,” he advises
paraphrasing a popular quotation of the day. So with Granddad’s help, Ellie
secures a job on a ranch in Colorado and sets out to prove that she has the
necessary character to succeed at a third vocation.
When Aldon Leitzinger meets Ellie’s train in Clifton
Colorado, he introduces himself as the foreman of the ranch. But the more
people Ellie meets in the community, the more apparent it becomes that she is
in demand to fill a number of roles for which she is not prepared. Desperate to
prove herself, she settles in to please everyone, a task that puts her at risk
of failure in every attempt at finding a new and happier life.

Blog Tour: Dreams and Devotion
I'm excited to share a little about Sarah Holman's new book, Dreams and Devotion. I've heard a lot of good things about this book.
About the Book
Dara's
life is full of farm work and worries, especially now that her older brother is
a priest in a far off city. Yet she still has time to dream of the life she
hopes will someday be. She dreams of marrying her dear friend and the worries
of her family ending. Now, the selfishness of one person threatens her very way
of life.
Dresden's
initial excitement about living a life devoted to the service of God quickly is
dashed on the rocks of reality. The life of a priest is nothing like what he
imagined. To make matters worse, he finds out his family back in his home
village is on the brink of disaster. Torn between his vows and his love for his
family, what will he choose?
