Wondering ‘What should I read next?’ Desire of My Heart by Heidi Gray McGill.
All Rachel has ever wanted is a family. How could God grant her the desire of her heart, then do nothing to prevent it being taken away? Can she wait for God’s perfect timing, or will she take matters into her own hands…again? About to age out of a Missouri orphanage in 1858, shy Rachel listens with terror as the orphanage matron tells her she’s practically auctioning her off to the highest bidder for her hand in marriage. Rachel prays, asking God to help her and her younger brother Charlie escape, but how? When God provides what Rachel believes to be her liberator, the seed of an idea sets in motion an adventure that will bring happiness and heartbreak, and nearly cost Rachel her health. When trouble comes, it comes in a big way and those who care for Rachel wonder if she will ever recover. Rachel and Charlie face danger and sorrow, see new territory, and grow in their faith. They just might even find the desire of their hearts and realize God had bigger plans than they ever imagined. I’m always looking for the best books to read, and I need book recommendations.

Wondering ‘What should I read next?’ Kissing the Skater Boy by Christina Herrera.
A cocky skater boy. A studious newspaper editor. Enemies can still attract, right? It all started at our small private school, Hidden Shores Academy, on the first day. The new kid was texting as he came down the stairs. His longboard slipped out of his fingers, smacking me right in the face. His first reaction should have been to check if I was okay, but no, his gut instinct told him to check and see how his precious board survived the attack. Of course, he ended up in almost all my classes. No matter what I do, he keeps finding ways to talk to me. But I’m not interested in him. I’m trying to stay focused on my position as head editor of my high school’s newspaper. I have dreams to chase. I’m applying for a Journalism scholarship. I don’t have time for a know-it-all boy like Justin. Besides, I had a boyfriend before. It didn’t end well. The last thing I want is more drama, and I can tell by the smug grin on the skater boy’s face that he’s full of it. He may be my worst enemy, but there’s something about the way hasn’t given up on me that makes me wonder if he’s not that bad after all.

Wondering ‘What should I read next?’ The Orphan Ship (Three Book Series) by Sterling R. Walker.
From Book 1: The Orphan Ship by Sterling R. Walker Stranded 225 million kilometers from home on Mars Station, cousins Jake O’Brien and Lorina Murphy are drawn into a fledgling effort to help the hundreds of abandoned street children who call the station home. Jake becomes a medical apprentice in an outreach clinic, while Lorina volunteers at a juvenile shelter. They soon discover that their efforts may be in vain because something much more serious than poverty plagues Mars Station. Also stranded on Mars Station, ship’s captain Danae Shepherd faces the difficult task of hiring replacement crew after an alien virus claims the lives of four in her employ, including her husband. She stumbles upon the same problem that has Jake and Lorina stumped: why are homeless children disappearing without a trace? From Book 2: The Lost Sheep by Sterling R. Walker Captain Danae Shepherd returns to Mars Station with her crew of the Ishmael, fully aware that she is walking straight into a trap. But Danae isn’t going to let a little thing like being wanted for murder keep her away, not when her ally Dr. Erik Sorensen is stuck in jail; and not when evidence is desperately needed to end police chief Acheron’s depraved side business of abducting homeless children and selling them as slaves. Danae’s nervous crew agrees to her daring plan, which is based more on luck than strategy, but her clairvoyant helmsman Marco Ting raises the level of tension with two chilling premonitions: the Captain’s plan will unravel once they reach Mars Station, putting all their lives in danger, and someone close to Lorina Murphy is going to die. From Book 3: The Last Orphan by Sterling R. Walker Captain Danae Shepherd and her crew of Alex’s Legacy set out to rescue Shima Oryang’s niece from a slave-run factory in Bangkok, but their quest turns deadly when Shima is abducted. Now with her best friend missing, her helmsman in a coma, and a military captain determined to keep her on a short leash, Danae must battle the horrors from her past before she can summon the courage to confront the human traffickers who are holding Shima captive. Like a small stone tossed into a big pond, Danae’s influence expands like ripples as her determination to save one orphan becomes a dangerous mission to liberate them all.
