This is the kind of stuff that I love, knowing more is coming soon...

[Margaret]

If anyone is interested. I added a new shelf of suggested reads for some great historicals coming out soon. These are all books that I am touring and reviewing (hopefully sooner rather than later if AppleBlossom allows!). Any titles look interesting? Willing to read them with me? I put the start dates on what will be the tour dates on my blog, fyi.

Margaret, are you referring to "The Blue Enchantress", "Surrender the Wind", and "Honor in the Dust" that are featured on the home page of this group? Just making sure. :-)

[Margaret]

Yup, I put the dates on them and they appeared on the front page of the group. Kinda neat, did not know it would do that. Just like always, nothing is required. I just figured I would put out there what I'm reading (brand new Christian fiction hot off the presses) for suggestions and have anyone and everyone that's interested jump in to read and discuss if they want.

[Charmaine]

That would be awesome, Margaret! Unfortunately my library system does not have The Blue Enchantress and Surrender the Wind. :-( Let me know if you like them! I want to read that Gilbert Morris novel, too, because I really like the House of Winslow books that I have read.

[Charmaine]

Hmm, I'm not sure, Kate. I was thinking that it's just those three books that you mentioned, but I could be wrong. ;-)

[Margaret]

Charmaine - Unless your library system is really on top of things, they probably will not have most of these titles, as these are hot off the presses. If you look at the individual books you'll see what I mean, they are coming out soon (not quite yet).

Those three are just the three that are coming out soonest. Any and all on the "margaret's suggestions" shelf is what I am *planning* to read and suggest.

http://www.goodreads.com/group/booksh...

Does that make sense?

I just figured that we are always reading various things, and I'm telling you about the new titles coming out all the time as well. So I might as well list the approximate time that I will be planning to read them if you happen to come across one.

[Margaret]

Another suggestion as far as the library is concerned is to take a list of "coming soon" titles to them as requests. Then you might be able to get them sooner rather than later.

[Margaret]

Kate - You got it!

Lynn is right, CBD has the best prices out there. Always at least $3 or less than listed price.

My 2009 Reads:
Of all the books that I read in 2009, just over half of them were fiction (unbelievable that there was so much nonfiction, children's books, and devotionals - but then I was pregnant...). In those fiction, probably more than half of those were Christian Historical Fiction (including Amish). Here is a list of those. They are all reviewed on my blog and my goodreads lists. Sorry I did not hyper link, but I'm copying and pasting from my blog and it would take forever!

What did you read? What were your thoughts?

[Lynnette]

Thank you, Joy! :) I hope you will enjoy my next books as much as you enjoyed Rocky Mountain Oasis.

I too, read Cry of my Heart by Joanne Bischof and enjoyed it very much.
