"Minding Molly" by Leslie Gould

About this book:

  “Capable and optimistic Molly Zook has a slight issue with control: She doesn't like giving it up. So she's chafing against her mother's wish that, to save the family farm, she marry Mervin Mosier--especially after she meets Leon Fisher. He's from Montana but is working in Molly's district, training horses at a nearby ranch. He is tall and muscular, with a confident demeanor. Molly has never met anyone like him, and he seems to feel the same about her.
  Determined to let nothing get between them, Molly decides the best course of action is to get Mervin to fall back in love with her best friend, Hannah. Molly organizes a weekend camping trip hoping to bring them together, but things quickly go awry and it seems Leon and Hannah might be falling for each other instead. Will Molly keep struggling to control everyone and everything around her? Or will she learn to let God handle the twists and turns of her life?”

My personal Rating-

Molly Zook drives everyone—and eventually herself—crazy with her being “bossy” or “controlling” but she just lost her Daed, her Mamm isn’t doing well, and she’s being pressured into a married so her family can keep their farm. I totally understand why she’s “bossy” as her younger sister puts it! Molly learned in this book about people and so did I. I can’t wait to read book one and two in this series.

I hope y'all all have a wonderfully Blessed Easter and I'll see y'all on Monday with another review!

Q&A

1. How long have you been reading?

Since I was little…but once I got to the chapter book level I didn’t like reading!

2. What is your favorite book, and why?

Hahaha! That’s funny! Wait, what? One favorite book? I can’t do that! That would be so mean to all my other books I adore!

3. If you could live in any fictional world, what world would it be?

Fictional world…hmmm…I can’t think of a fictional world I’d like to live in. 

4. What are your top five favorite TV shows?

5.) “Doc McStuffins”

4.) “Kim Possible”

3.) “Sofia the First”

And tied for first is “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” & “Totally Spies”

5. Do you like when books are made into TV shows or movies?

Eh, not really. Only because they leave out so much! Do not even get me started on the Left Behind books & movies! And then they’re remaking the first movie now?! Argh! 

6. What is your favorite genre of book?

It’s funny, back when I first started this blog I would put on the Historical books “I’m not a fan of historical books but...” Hahaha! Historical is definitely my favorite, Amish right after that.  

7. If you could be any character in a book which character would you choose and why?

I can’t answer this one….every book I’ve read the main (female) character has been through something (losing a spouse, parent, etc) that I don’t think I could do…I’d rather be myself and let The Lord do what He wants with me. 

8. Who is your all-time favorite book boyfriend/girlfriend?

Eleanor & Marcus from “A Beauty so Rare” by Tamera Alexander for Historical; Amelia & Michael from “The Fiddler” by Beverly Lewis for Amish; and for modern Cassia & Adam from “Million Dollar Dilemma” by Judy Baer.

9. What is your favorite song and band?

I only listen to Christian music and right now I really like “Got that Fire” by Royal Tailor. Favorite Bands are: Royal Tailor, Manic Drive, Capital Kings, Superchick, Anthem Lights and the list goes on and on.

10. Other than reading, what do you like to do in your spare time?

Spare Time? What’s that? I’ve never heard of it! Hahaha, but I’m not kidding!  I do American Heritage Girls (it’s a Christian scouting organization for girls ages 5-18) and love it! I also am trying to do four years of High School in two (I don’t know if I’ve said I’m homeschooled? Well, I am! :) ) Plus I’m a blogger! I try to read 6-8 books a week so I’m very busy!

"A Heart's Rebellion" by Ruth Axtell

About this book:

“Dutiful Jessamine Barry is tired of waiting patiently for a man to decide her future. So even though Lancelot Marfleet, second son of an aristocrat, is taking an interest in her during the London season, she refuses to consider him as a suitor. Instead, she's ready to take fashionable society by storm--and finds a rakish young man all too willing to help her do it. When things go too far, Jessamine will learn that the man who is faithful through thick and thin is more worthy than the one who speaks pretty words. But will her disgrace keep Lance from reconsidering her as a wife? And when tragedy strikes and Lance becomes his father's heir and a titled gentleman, will he think she only wants him now because of his title?”


 Series: “London Encounters” book #2 (I have not read book #1 in this series) {Actually, I didn’t know it was a series, I probably should have gotten & read the first book first as it looks like that would have help a bit}

Spiritual Content- Romans 8:1 in the beginning; Scriptures, Prayers & Blessing over food are said; Jessamine is a vicar’s daughter & Lancelot is a vicar.

Negative Content- Jessamine drinks champagne at parties & doesn’t feel well later.

Sexual Content- Please, please only read this spoiler if you’re 17 and up. *Spoiler* Jessamine gets drugged by a man and he takes her to a bedroom and kisses her & tries to lower her dress’s neckline. She, thankfully, gets saved by Lancelot before anything else happens. *End of Spoiler*; A very detailed kiss.

-Jessamine Barry

-Lancelot Marfleet
