Joyce S I can't wait for my husband to buy me some more of your Amish fictions! I enjoy reading your books! I don't get out as much as I used to. I can't get around as good anymore so I can't get to the library lije I used to. I'm only allowed one book a month to borrow from my amazon prime account and I read fast so I get alot if free books from them from other genres that I'm not as interested in. Keep writing about our friends the Amish! I do so Love to read your stories about them!
Always!
Joyce

David Housholder Tricia, the Shasta area is a fave of mine. Did you know they originally designed the dam to be much higher but ran out of money.

http://youtu.be/-txvZGnRKlU

Trailer to my Summer 2011 novel. Rock on.


Melmo2610 Just finished the Swiss Courier...I LOVED it!!! Great story and loved the twist at the end, didn't see coming :)


Sandee Thanks for the invite. Hope to read some of your books soon...they look really good.

Deborah Piccurelli Hi Tricia,

Thanks for the invite. I know we're connected on other networking sites, but I don't think I visit this one often enough to track down friends. I'm so glad you found me, though!

Blessings,
Deb


Donald Parker Hi Tricia,
Thanks for the friend invitation. I thought we were already friends here. Too many social networks to keep track!! I hope to visit my sister this in late August. Hope we can bump into each other at church or something during that timeframe.
God bless!!

Jeremy I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me today. I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened.

Argh...this is terrible...

And today was starting out so well.

Again, I'm very sorry.

Tricia, I've added From Dust and Ashes, Arms of Deliverance, A Valley of Betrayal, Night Song and My Life Unscripted: Whose Writing Your Life? to my to-read list.


Tricia Goyer I'm reading Knit Together by Debbie Macomber and I HIGHLY recommend it.

Amazingly, I read a lot more non-fiction than fiction!

My all time favorite book is The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom.

Tricia


Bonnie Hi Tricia.

Good to see you here. Haven't been to the site much--soo much to do and soooooo little time.

Do you have a favorite book you've read recently?

All time favorite?

Blessings,

Bonnie
