I have read all of Chris Fabry's books and have enjoyed them all. I received Every Waking Moment for Christmas and look forward to reading it!

I like Chris Fabry too Christine- He has such a strong writing voice.

Sorry this thread isn't a nomination thread :). But if you'd like to go to the poll and vote on one of the titles that would be great (here is the link to the poll- be sure to click on one of the boxes so that your vote counts- https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/9... ) or else you can nominate Beyond the storm for the other group read that takes nominations which will be for the April read. Thanks so much!

[Cheryl]

No worries- just wanted you to know :)

[Cheryl]

And your choice was The Headmistress of Rosemere by Sarah E. Ladd. This read will start up on February 15th and will go till March 14th. Look for the discussion thread to start up on the 15th. Looks great- looking forward to it!

[Loraine]

Sarah and I visited on Facebook and she is thrilled we are doing a group read with her book. She said she would try and pop in during our discussion.

[Cheryl]

That is wonderful- thanks for making contact Loraine- I love it when the authors pop in- it's soo interesting to ask them questions!!

[Beth]

Someone could also mention that we're also reading her other book for the main group read :) Funny how we didn't even plan it that way!

[Cheryl]

I know isn't that funny- I wish our reads were flip flopped! Yours going first and then mine!

[Loraine]

I just got an e-mail from the library and they got me a copy via ILL!! YAHOO:)

[Cheryl]

Yay- don't you just love awesome libraries!

[Christine]

Does anyone know if the two books should be read in order?

[Beth]

Christine, from what I can tell from reviews, it's not necessary to read them in order. Several reviewers had read this one (number 2) and said they had not read the first one yet. None mentioned that it was an issue reading this one first. Of course, I can't say for sure since I haven't read them :) Maybe another member will have more insight.

[Christine]

Thanks Beth :) I just started The Heiress of Winterwood and am really enjoying it! I did just check my library and I'm the 13th hold for the The Headmistress of Rosemere e-book, so.. kind of a moot point now but good to know! I guess I should have done the research before I posted :)

[Beth]

No worries! Looking forward to your thoughts on the first one!

[Christine]

Absolutely! I've only read a little bit so far, but am really enjoying it!

[Cammie]

Should we read before since they are a series or can they be read as stand alones?

[Cheryl]

Cammie, I about half way through this one and I have been fine reading it without reading the first one, first, just as an fyi. I actually checked the first one out from the library too and will probably read it when I am done. :)
