Leslie (lesliejean43) | 403 comments I recently gave up on a book which is something I rarely do, but after 105 pages, I realized I had zero interest in the characters. It was The Sportswriter by Richard Ford. I started reading Body of Evidence by Patricia Cornwell, and have been enjoying that immensely!

Angela Ross Williams (cdlady) | 28 comments I am reading two books: Colliding with Destiny by Sarah Jakes and The Beginners Guide to Intercessory Prayer by Dutch Sheets. Both are excellent thought provoking books helping you to move forward in service to the Lord and forward out of life changing pain. I highly recommend them both.


message 4077: by Angela (new)

Angela Ross Williams (cdlady) | 28 comments I forgot to add, I just downloaded a free copy of Christian Fiction titled Stealthy Steps, the first book of the Nanostealth series, by author Vicki Kestell. Ms Kestell is now a retired security design consultant that was part of a team that developed and constructed the fall out shelters across America to house the President and USA government officials as far back as President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

She now is writing fiction based on her knowledge of these shelters and systems and it is an exciting mystery, because you don’t know what’s real and what is fiction. The first book is free in Kindle. I am excited to finish what I am reading to begin this series. Check it out. Its free and the ongoing books in this series are reasonably priced. My kind of reading.

One is their disastrous marriages, well in Toni's case make that her disastrous seven-year engagement. And the second thing is their eternal bond of sisterhood, which they're going to need when their husbands do the unforgivable. A fresh and fun fiction debut for every fan of romantic comedy.
