About the Book

Dillon Michaels was fed up — but it wasn’t with dinner.

I am fairly new to Melody Carlson’s novels. I’ve only read one so far, Gone Too Soon, and I loved it. I’m only on chapter 8 of Happy Camper, but I am really enjoying this story. I love Dillon. I think she is a great character.

Definitely check back soon for my thoughts.

NOW IT IS YOUR TURN!

I love Jesus, my husband, and my daughter. I love reading and reviewing Christian fiction. And, I am a high school English teacher trying to get kids to fall in love with reading every day!

  3. Happy Good Friday!

    I really enjoyed The Happy Camper, and hopefully you will too.

    On my blog today, I’m sharing the first line from The Truth in Tiramisu by Rachael Bloome:

    “Every time Eliza Carter closed her eyes, she saw his face.”

    Hope you have a lovely Easter weekend 🙂

  4. My book this week is THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE MOOR by Michelle Griep.
    March 1861 Dartmoor Prison, Devon, England

    Death prowled the cell block like a dark animal seeking prey— especially the weakest.

  6. Happy Good Friday! On my blog, I’m featuring The Shotgun Proposal by Barbara Goss. Here, I will share the first line of my current read, The Trouble with Patience by Maggie Brendan. Trying to beat the rain, Patience Cavanaugh hurried up the single main street of raw Nevada City. Wishing you a Happy Easter!

  7. Happy Friday! My first line is from “The Color of Love” by Kimberly Rae Jordan:

    “Charles Beaumont Allerton Junior tugged at the hem of his button-up shirt, hoping to work out some of the wrinkles that his rapid – and poor – packing job had created.”

  8. Happy Friday!
    Today on my blog I shared the first line from The Lost Lieutenant by Erica Vetsch but I’m currently reding The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck by Bethany Turner so I’ll share the first line from chapter 11 here: “Since our Sunday lunch had been so rudely interrupted by, you know…reality, Ben and I decided our first date called for a do-over.” Happy reading!

  9. My first lines are from Natasha Madison’s upcoming release Southern Comfort.

    “Hello?” I say after two rings, and then I want to kick myself when I realize I didn’t even check to see who it was.

    “You have a collect call from an inmate at . . .” When the recorded message starts, I do what I’ve done the other fifty times and hang up.

  12. Happy Saturday! Today, I’m sharing the first line from Before I Called You Mine by Nicole Deese: “If Obsessive Email Checking Disorder were a disease, I was likely already in the final stages: trigger thumb, mindless refreshing, aimless scrolling, and of course, an inability to focus on anything else in the entire world.”
