You can preorder The Nature of a Lady HERE.
We’re sharing a few of our recent reads with you today, but we want to know…What books have you been reading as we kick off 2021?
Roseanna’s Reads
In the last few weeks, I’ve done plenty of reading…but none strictly for pleasure. Even so, I’ve added quite a few fabulous books to my list, including some of my favorites from this school year with the kids!
For the Edit
Delia and the Drifter by Melody Carlson
This one’s for an edit–book releases 2/15–and it’s very much a classic Western romance in some ways…and utterly surprising in others! I highly enjoyed my read!

For the Edit (too)
The summation of the Daughters of Peverell princess books was soooooooo good! A satisfying end to the series and just a beautiful story in its own right!
Nonfiction

Rachel’s Reads
For Fun
I am a little obsessed with all things WWII right now. So when I received an ARC of Kristy Cambron’s new book, you’d better believe I tore into it immediately!

My husband and I recently went on a road trip and decided to reread this one since the squeal just released. This is one of those books that is so drastically different from the movie that it feels like it’s a completely different story. (Some language)
With the Kids
We just finished this book as part of our school curriculum. My third grader read it all by himself, aloud to me…And he really loved learning about George Washington!
Because I'm Obsessed with WWII Reads...
I told you I was reading a lot of WWII right now….This story was INCREDIBLE!!! I highly recommend it. Takes place on US soil (mostly) during WWII and follows the incredible women who flew the planes all over the US for the military. (General Fiction)
With the Kids
Read-Aloud with the boys. My 8-year-old has discovered that he loves reading! We JUST started reading this one together as a family and will work on taking turns reading. We’ve read several books in the Narnia series to the boys when they were so young, they don’t rememeber them…Hence…starting over from the beginning.
Roseanna M. White is a bestselling, Christy Award winning author who has long claimed that words are the air she breathes. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two kids, editing, designing book covers, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of a slew of historical novels that span several continents and thousands of years. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to find their way into her books…to offset her real life, which is blessedly ordinary.
Caddie Woodlawn was one of my favorites growing up:) I loved all the pioneer stories then and now. My concentration as an English major was Plains Lit too!
Adding The Flight Girls and The Paris Dressmaker to my reading list!
So far in 2021, I’ve read the last book in the codebreakers series by Roseanna m. White, “A portrait of Loyalty” and I loved it and how it ties into what is happening now. Right now I am reading “What we didn’t say” by Amy Lynn Green, a wwII story told in letters.
I always find new books and authors that I want to read from your monthly lists.
This time I want to read The Paris Dressmaker, The Flight Girls and The Seven Wonders of Sassafras Springs!!
I really appreciate you telling what you and your kids are reading!
I read and loved Our Darkest Night by Jennifer Robson a Jewish woman and a Christian farmer pretend to be married in WW2 Italy. Don’t start it when you have to get up early the next day.
