Hello! I'm Melony Teague

Thanks for popping in. Welcome. Do make yourself at home and have a look around. Grab a cup of something hot and hopefully caffeinated, and let me tell you a little bit about myself...

What Makes You Laugh?

The funny thing about humor is that laughing at ourselves is a healthy practice. Nowadays, we need this more than ever. We can't take ourselves too seriously all the time. Yes, there are times when we must be serious, sit up, or rather stand up for something important, and I'm all for that. I am. In order to combat our culture's striving for perfection, I think we need to come to terms with the fact that perfection is elusive and unattainable and get on with being real and honest with ourselves. (I don't mean air out your dirty laundry for all the world to see, but we can let our humanity show a bit, and then tuck it back in when need be.)

    The Weight of Air by Kimberly Duffy

    March 5, 2023 /

    MY REVIEW What a delightful read, it’s like running away with the circus! Kimberley Duffy weaves an irresistible story appealing to every child and the child within who wanted to run away with the circus. The oddities and the ordinary live alongside each other in this wonderful blend of characters who struggle to see themselves through the eyes of those they love. It’s a struggle for self-worth and a search for belonging, each taking a different path to get there. Mabel is such a wonderful character. There were times that I was giggling at the characters and other times I was shedding a tear alongside them. This colorful and vivid…

    The Blackout Book Club

    February 27, 2023 /

    MY REVIEW I’ve been a fan of Amy Lynn Green’s from the time she released her debut, and this one is just as lovely. The Blackout Book Club takes us back to the war, and gives us a peek into the lives of those living with loss, regret and despair. Together they find a way to overcome, and the secret lies in the friendships formed over reading books. Book lovers and avid readers will smile at Avis’ antics and her minutes jotted down at every book club meeting. I think those were my favourite part. A satisfying ending to a story that had some unexpected twists and turns and entertained right…

    Targeted

    February 22, 2023 /

    Targeted is a collection of 3 Romantic Suspense novellas.   My Review Oh my goodness, once you open this book, you cannot put it down. I mean, why would you want to? Action-packed, full of suspense and romance and swoony heroes. What more could a reader ask for? And in novella-sized chunks so that you can read one of the collections by Lynette Eason, Lynn H. Blackburn, or Natalie Walters in one sitting. If you have read the series by these authors that link to these, it is even more fun to see the characters in the series make an appearance. If you had to ask me which of the…

    The Lost Melody by Joanna Davidson Politano

    February 22, 2023 /

    My Review What an incredible, unforgettable story! Joanna Davidson Palitano has outdone herself with this one in my opinion, with the right balance of all the elements, intrigue, mystery, romance, and of course, musical content. I could not put this book down, because I had to know what happened to the extraordinary Vivienne Mourdant as she finds herself in a Victorian Era Asylum. The back book blurb aptly described this book as “lyrical” and when you read it, you’ll see why. It’s not a light and fluffy, feel-good read at first, but it brings all the feels and is worth every second. It is unforgettable! The book was provided courtesy…

    Among the Innocent by Mary Alford

    November 7, 2022 /

    This is the first book I’ve read from this author. MY REVIEW This book might not be for the faint of heart, but my guess is that if you like Romantic Suspense with a touch of Amish and the like, you’re probably fine. But be warned, there is no sugarcoating the trauma Leah Miller endured and her courage to overcome it. This is a chilling page-turner that will keep you riveted to your chair, and maybe hiding under a pile of blankets, but the payoff, in the end, is well worth it. Among the Innocent is well-written and pulls you in from the first page. And the cover of the…

    November 6, 2022 /

    MY REVIEW Wowza! This is the series that I didn’t know I needed and it blew me away! The good news is you don’t have to wait a YEAR before the next book in the series is released. Basically, I read this one, then books 2 and 3 as soon as each of them was released because I preordered them all! Binge reading is a thing! Honour Bound introduces the reader to the Special Forces A team and it’s a wild ride all the way to the end of book 3. (Be sure to also read the prequel to this series, Love in Any Language.) The series begins by following…

    To Win A Prince by Toni Shiloh

    November 6, 2022 /

    My Review If you havn’t read book 1 of these two, To Win A Prince still stands on its own. But, ya’ll book 1 was so much FUN, so you can go ahead and read that one too. It’s called, In Search of A Prince. Yep, there is a royal story here, set in Africa! Toni Shiloah’s To Win A Prince is set in Olore Ile and is the story of Ekon Diallo and Iris Blakey. Ekon’s character goes on quite the journey of change given that he’s in disgrace. Ekon and Iris cannot resist the feelings they have for each other, but the obstacles mount and they really have…

So, when I saw a horse on the cover, I thought, “Oh, I love horses. Looks interesting.” I had no idea! What an amazing story, almost like a time slip, but a generation apart. I loved it! So much. And yes, I blubbed when things happened (not wanting to give spoilers). Be prepared. This story will touch your heart and leave you a little richer for having read it.

    Where the Road Bends by Rachel Fordham

    August 7, 2022 /

    My Review I could just imagine this book made into a stunning movie. (Yes I know the book is mostly always better than the movie, but still!) Rachel Fordham writes in such a vivid way that I could almost smell the scents in this book – the dust of the land, the freshly baked goods from the bakery and so much more. Norah is a strong character who faces her fears and overcomes them. Quincy, oh, dear Quincy. Sometimes I wanted to pat him on the shoulder and give him some advice. But all the while, I’m turning the pages to see what he’ll do. The man has heart, that’s…

    What a fantastic conclusion! Here’s my review:   MY REVIEW It’s taken me a while to be ready to attempt to put into words what I thought of this book. Another book hangover kind of read – in a really good way. The first book, All That Really Matters, was special right from the start, and Pastor Miles McKenzie’s story in All That it Takes is the PERFECT follow-on. I’m so happy we get to read more about Val’s backstory as she was a supporting character. Molly McKenzie’s from All That Really Matters also features in All That it Takes. Yay! Miles is, of course, Molly’s sister.  All That it…
