It's time to start nominations for June's Christian Fiction group read. I used the list of categories from the Theme thread and using Random.org, it selected:

[Camille]

I nominate Divine by Karen Kingsbury

I believe it was recently a freebie on Amazon, so hopefully a lot of us have it already if it gets chosen! :)

[Lorie]

I don't know if I know exactly what qualifies as contemporary so I'm going to have to go do some research.

[Camille]

My understanding, Lorie, is that it is set in a modern-day setting, rather than a historical one. :)

[Janet]

I suggest: The Wedding Promise by Thomas Kinkade

[Abbie]

I nominate Save the Date by Jenny B. Jones

I read this one already but its a great book and I know you all would like it to!

[Diane U]

Sorry for the delay in yesterday's posting. I was away at Cape Cod camping with hubby and our dog. I hope I get around to reading this month's group read. Where did April go???

Wow, there are some great suggestions so far!

Here's my nomination:

The Negotiator by Dee Henderson

[Laurie]

The Road Trip by Jo Lynn Crozier

Laurie, is this book available for purchase? I looked it up on Amazon and I don't have the option to buy a copy, not even second hand. On the US site it said it can be shipped between 1 - 2 months :/

I nominate Softly and Tenderly by Sara Evans.

Awww...Maybe not :( I'll have to hold on to that nomination for August's read

It sounds like a good book though! It's weird that it's not available because GoodReads said it was published in Nov 2010 :/

[Laurie]

I'm going to try again. Here is one I've been wanting to read!

Bookends by Liz Curtis Higgs

FYI, Rachel's nomination, Softly and Tenderly, is available for free over on Net Galley for those who use it!

[Lorie]

Fools Rush In by Janice Thompson This was a free Amazon book awhile back.

[Carissa]

Miss Match By Erynn Mangum

[Kimberly]

Operation Bonnet by Kimberly Stuart. (Am I allowed?) I know--crazy to have a bonnet on the cover of contemporary fiction, but I promise it fits. :)

p.s. If I have 200 reviews of Op Bonnet on Amazon by June 1, I'll draw to give away a Kindle. Anybody need one of those? :) Review the book, send me the link and you're entered to win! Thanks, voracious readers! Operation Bonnet: A Novel

[Christy]

I nominate Love Remains by Kaye Dacus

[Rachel]

Just to let everyone know, I'll be randomly selecting June's book on Sunday, so still a few more days to nominate!

[Rachel]

June's book is being picked tomorrow, so last day to nominate!

[Kristy]

I am nominating one that is already picked. That would be Divine by Karen Kingsbury

[Rachel]

It's the 15th! And according to Random.org, June's book will be...

5. Softly and Tenderly by Sara Evans

I swear, I didn't cheat! :) Hope everyone enjoys the book, I thought it looked great.

[Rachel]

And for those of you who review books, this one is still available on NetGalley!

[Barbara]

Thanks for the heads up on NetGalley -- I'll give it a go & see if I get it.

[Barbara]

Thanks Rachel, I got it!
