Another entertaining mystery series by Andrew Greeley, Catholic priest. In this series, his detective/protagonist is also a priest and, as usual, is Irish and lives in Chicago. He writes well, his characters are always intriguing, and his plots are interesting. I like how he often writes from differing points-of-view when telling the story.
This third book in the Father Blackie Ryan series is the best one I've read of the ones I've been able to find. The plot is so twisted and the characters are so crazy, that it definitely makes for one truly fascinating mystery. I can definitely see where the author's study of sociology shows up in his characterization and plots.

This fourth novel in the Father Blackie Ryan series that I've now read twice is really good. The solution is quite twisted, but everything ultimately makes sense by the end.

I'm 68% done with A Heart Made New on my Kindle. It is good. Review soon.

After a slow rather simplistic beginning, I ended up truly like this novel's plot and characters. The writing was well done if a bit basic, and the pace was fast. This is a book that gradually sucks in the reader and won't let go; therefore, this is a new favorite. I'm looking forward to reading more of this series and more by this author.

I truly liked this novel's plot and characters, and I really liked the unique solution at the end. The writing was well done if a bit basic, and the pace was fast right from the beginning. This is definitely a new favorite. I'm looking forward to reading more of this series and more by this author.

This was a cute little pretend history book, a well-written and entertaining book explaining the development of Quidditch, the magical sport Harry Potter and his friends play.

[Natalie]

@J: Do you know what the release date of the movie for book three will be? This is the first time I was aware of this. Thanks for the head up on it.

No release date yet! I couldn't find any info. on Bev's FB page either. So we'll just have to wait. (Sigh)

[Natalie]

@J: Ok. Thanks. I looked on-line right after I saw the post, but couldn't find anything. I will definitely check the Christian Film Database site.

This was a well-written and truly interesting novel. I enjoyed the characters and also enjoyed how the protagonist learned to deal with her current life when she had forgotten the last decade. I also liked how her experience influenced events after her memory returned. I also loved the ending; it was a fun read.

This is the companion novel to Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict , and I must admit I enjoyed this one more. I found it to be better written in general, and I also thought that Jane's character as Courtney was developed much better than had been Courtney's as Jane's. Since I don't read as much fiction set in contemporary times, I thought that I would enjoy the modern setting less, but instead I found Jane's encounter with modern conveniences and different societal rules to be amusing and refreshing. I also found her epiphanies about herself and others in her new life really interesting. Definitely, a fun read and a new favorite.

Plain Fear: Forgiven Book 3 in a series by Leanna Ellis

[Natalie]

I'm currently a little over halfway through A Wedding Quilt For Ella by Jerry S. Eicher. It is good.

[Rachel]

9/11/13
I truly enjoyed this one. I feel that Jerry Eicher has become so much more experienced as an author. The first few books I read by him were a little dry and strange, but the books I've read by him this year and last were much better. This novel was well-written and entertaining. I enjoyed the changes in the characters as well and look forward to reading the last book of this series.

[Natalie]

@Rachel: Me too. The third one is being released ain a little less than three weeks.

Just started reading by Melissa Jagears. I can't seem to put this book down.

This was such an interesting novel. I liked the characters, and I like how Marianna's journey is both physical and spiritual. A well-written and unique Amish story. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more by this author.
I enjoyed reading this the second time even more, and I definitely would've been confused if I'd read the sequels now without rereading this one; it's been a while since May. I caught more nuances in the plot than I did the first time also. I truly like this one.

[Rachel]

This was such an interesting novel. I liked the characters, and I like how Marianna's spiritual journey is progressing. This was a well-written and unique Amish story. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more by this author.

This was such an interesting novel. I liked the characters, and I like how Marianna's spiritual journey brings her to an awesome conclusion. This was a well-written and unique Amish story. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more by this author. The ending surprised me, but I loved how it turned out.

I'm reading "Letters to Katie" by Kathleen Fuller. Even though it's the 3rd in the series. I'm going to go back and read the 1st, and 2nd. I'm really enjoying this book and have less than 100 pages to go.

This was a sweet, romantic set of novellas, three of them historical set within one contemporary story. The writing was a bit simplistic, but it was good. I liked it.

[Heather]

Just finished "The Fiddler" so I will know what's going on with this month's book "The Bridesmaid"! Now to read this book before the end of the month :) Shouldn't be a problem-I just love her books, she writes wonderfully, or should I say wonderful-gut ;)

If I had not won this book from a Christian Fiction Devourers group contest, I would never have thought to pick it up for two main reasons. One: one of the biggest plot devices is that the protagonist and her husband are in a "spiritually mismatched" marriage; i.e., she is saved, he is an atheist. Since I do not have such a problem, I wouldn't have supposed that I would get anything from that part of the storyline. Two: the book description screams thriller masquerading as a Christian novel, and I don't ever read thrillers because I have enough problem with fear without purposely inviting more into my life. However, I ended up enjoying the novel fairly well. It was unique, suspenseful without being frightening, and even though I couldn't relate to the struggles Lexi, the protagonist, went through, it was interesting seeing the author's portrayal of spiritual warfare through the use of a demon manifesting through a few different characters in the novel. Overall, this was a good read although it'll never be a favorite.

[Rachel]

I enjoyed this book. It was written well, the characters are well developed and a lot of fun. It wasn't as funny as I expected based on others' reviews, but I did sympathize with Lex and her difficulties. It's a new favorite on my shelves for sure.
