message 24: by Crystal (new)

Crystal | 743 comments Busy month with life and mom duties this month so I ended up only reading 5 out of 10 books planned, with one extra I didn't plan for that I ended up really enjoying. It was my first Colleen Coble book, Alaska Twilight by Colleen Coble . I really liked that it was a mystery but wasn't gruesome or filled with a lot of evil. I really enjoyed the characters.

I finished Tracie Petersons Heart of the Frontier Series and just adored all three of those books. I want to read more from her for sure.

I also started Terri Blackstocks Restoration Series and really loved the first book Last Light (Restoration, #1) by Terri Blackstock . It's about a power outage that puts a family in crisis and and makes them decide if they're going to hoard resources or seek God and His ways and give and love in the time of lack. I just finished it last night and am very much looking forward to the second book.

Did anyone read holiday books that were 4 or 5 stars? I'd like to read a few holiday books in November.

Until Leaves Fall in Paris by Sarah Sundin A Vow for Always (Discovery, #6) by Wanda E. Brunstetter Woman in Shadow by Carrie Stuart Parks In Search of a Prince by Toni Shiloh Once Upon a Caribbean Summer by Lisa Tawn Bergren To the Farthest Shores by Elizabeth Camden A Quilt for Christmas by Melody Carlson The Bake Shop by Amy Clipston Candy Cane Crime (Amish Candy Shop Mystery #5.5) by Amanda Flower Organizing for the Rest of Us 100 Realistic Strategies to Keep Any House Under Control by Dana K.
