Bookshelf
While I would love to write reviews for everything I read, time simply won’t allow. Here I’ll keep a running list with a simple 1-5 star rating with 5 stars being the best. Follow the links (shown in green) to see my full review of those titles. You’ll be redirected to My Bookshelf. There you can search by author, title, genre and more. It is a running blog, so you’ll find a number of books reviewed there that are not listed here.
For children’s books, check out my other site: Christian Children’s Book Review or my Amazon page.
Currently titles here are listed in the order in which I read them. I realize alphabetical by title or author or even chronological by publication would be better, but this is the best I can do at the moment. Enjoy! And feel free to email me with any comments or questions.

PAST BOOKSHELVES:









Hi Tanya, I was in your class last VBS at HGC. I’m just wondering if you are teaching a class again? My friend and I reaally enjoyed you and your teaching.
Marisa: Thank you so much! I would LOVE to teach this year, but I can’t. We’re in the process of moving, and the timing just didn’t work out. I am helping with the adult VBS program, though, and am excited about the classes we have. I will be teaching at a ladies’ event in September and hopefully a few moms meetings throughout the year. If they’ll have me, I’ll definitely teach at VBS next summer.
Tanya,
When/what is this adult VBS? I’m guessing that is seperate from the regular kids one? Let me know.
What’s the event in Sept?
Thanks,
enjoy these beautiful days!
Marisa Bucci
