Books on my Summer 2024 TBR List
~~
Several of these are repeats from my spring tbr list... as I've been in another reading slump. Still looking forward to most of these books and hoping I can get them off my tbr shelf this season. Some of them look like such FUN summer reads! 🦋
(in no particular order)
What are some books that are on your summer TBR list?

About the movie:
Join America’s favorite storyteller on an epic journey to the heart of Washington DC. Drawing from his blockbuster podcast “The Way I Heard It,” this cinematic tour de force will take viewers to the frontlines of the American Revolution, World War II, the Civil Rights movement, and more.
I was eager to watch this movie when I heard about it. If you've ever listened to Mike Rowe’s podcast, The Way I Heard It, this is told in a similar way... you're not told right away who the story is about, but instead we're given the story and then find out who it is about. I loved that and was shocked by a couple of the stories/who they were about...Never knew that part of their lives and it was fascinating to learn.
The movie is patriotic, but not partisan. I think anyone would enjoy learning more about the stories of people in America’s history. The movie was entertaining and held my attention.
All in all, I really liked this movie and hope there will be more like this from Mike Rowe.

About the movie:
When David Smallbone's successful music company collapses, he moves his family from Australia to the United States in search of a brighter future. With nothing more than their six children, their suitcases, and their love of music, David (for KING + COUNTRY's Joel Smallbone) and his pregnant wife Helen (Daisy Betts) set out to rebuild their lives from the ground up. Based on a remarkable true story, a mum's faith stands against all odds; and inspires her husband and children to hold onto theirs.
Movie Trailer:
Buy tickets today to see Unsung Hero in theaters starting April 26th!
Unsung Hero was such a good movie! I knew when I saw the trailer that I wanted to watch it, and it did not disappoint. The acting was outstanding! I felt like I was watching real people go through struggles and overcome difficulties. I loved how Joel Smallbone starred in this movie and helped tell his family's story. All of the actors were amazing, though, and I loved Candace Cameron Bure's character - she made me laugh. ;)
I thought Unsung Hero had a powerful storyline of family, the importance of that bond, and miracles. I loved the prominent role of prayer and thanks. Nothing is impossible with God and it was amazing to see what miracles happened in their lives.
All in all, Unsung Hero was a powerful movie and I recommend it if you like heartwarming movies with great acting. The music was really good, as well...I have added a couple songs from this movie to my playlist. This movie is definitely worth the watch and it is in theaters starting April 26th!
