Book Reviews Reloaded: The Most Illegal Goose Creek Parade

This article first appeared on East Niagara Post on January 5, 2016. It is repeated here as I work to put all my book reviews in one place. They will be posted on Thursdays or Fridays and only be altered from the original in that I will add publisher information and pages. Hopefully, by revisiting these reviews, other people might find a book they'd like to pick up for their own enjoyment.

The Most Famous Illegal Goose Creek Parade -- Virginia Smith

Harvest House Publishers

224 Pages

I generally skip right over the Inspirational Books when checking out the New Releases. They’re just not my cup of tea. For one thing, I cannot bear the random, interminable Biblical quotes that pop up. They kill any literary momentum, much like having speed bumps on the interstate. However, when I saw the subject of this week’s review peeking from between books on that very shelf, I was instantly drawn to it.

Literally the Best Reviews: The Room With the Second-Best View

The Room With the Second-Best View -- Virginia Smith

Harvest House Publishers

224 Pages

I have reviewed other books in the Goose Creek B&B series. While these are listed under “Inspirational” on the bookshelves at the Lockport Library, it is not the typical inspirational story that you find on those shelves. They are inspirational in that these books detail the best of what it means to be a husband, wife, neighbor, and friend.

Literally the Best Reviews: Renovating the Richardsons

Renovating the Richardsons -- Virginia Smith

Harvest House Publishers

226 Pages

I hope some of you were paying attention yesterday as I posted the review for the first book in this series, The Most Famous Illegal Goose Creek Parade by Virginia Smith. Today’s review continues that story. Again, I found myself looking through the “Inspirational” section of the “New Releases” at the Lockport Library. Once I saw the thin, purple cover of Renovating the Richardsons, I grabbed it before anyone else could. The continued adventures of the people of Goose Creek beckoned me to the pages.

Review Rehash: The Most Famous Illegal Goose Creek Parade

Editor’s Note: The following review was previously published at: http://www.eastniagarapost.com/2016/01/its-novel-idea-most-famous-illegal.html

It is being re-published here as part of my normal Tuesday review. Tomorrow’s review is the continuation of this series, and I thought it would be prudent to give everyone a refresher on the first book in the series in preparation of this new volume. I would like to thank the original publisher for the opportunity to present it originally. --CB
