What I hope to read:

I know that is a lot of books, and I don't think I'll be able to read them ALL, but I'm going to try my best. :)

[Abigail]

I just won a copy of Short-Straw Bride by Karen Witemeyer I love her books, I have her first 3, read them and loved them, I believe she is my favorite Author, although I really enjoy a lot of other Authors as well! I can't wait to read it! :)

I just finished Hidden in Dreams by Davis Bunn. I didn't read the first one that came before it, but it really didn't matter. I didn't feel like I missed anything & this was a complete story by itself. I LOVED it. And if any of you want a chance to get a free copy, his publisher is doing a drawing on from people who leave a comment on my blog. I hope that's ok to post here? If not, please forgive me! But I REALLY enjoyed this book and would love to see one of you get a copy.

Thanks everyone!

Miralee - Its just fine to post giveaways here. :) After all this is a Christian Fiction group and I know that a lot of people would like to know when they have a chance to win something of that genre.

Karen - Thanks, I Know I Will Love It!

[Carlene]

Please consider signing up for a free copy of "A Hero's Homecoming" here on Goodreads. It's a Christian Romance - and in the interest of full disclosure, I am the author. Thank you! Carlene Havel

My Stubborn Heart by Becky Wade
Love in Disguise by Carol Cox

[Catherine]

I have a t-shirt that says "So Many Books, So Little Time." This group needs to wear these as a uniform!

I definitely need one of those ;)

[Aerykah]

I'm 1/2 way through Love in Disguise & really enjoying it! :)

I'm currently reading A Quarter for a Kiss (The Million Dollar Mysteries, #4).. This is a very good series.

Yeah, I need one of those too! :)

Absolutely! I Love that series, I've read all five of them. if you like those you should also read the "Tulip" series by Mindy Starns Clark and the "P.J. Sugar novels" by Susan May Warren

Thanks for the ideas...I'll check into those other two series!

[Abigail]

Now I am reading "Facing The Giants" What doesn't help though is that I have seen the movie a lot of times and I just keep hearing the Actors voices and picturing scenes from the movie, instead of using my own Imagination as I do with other books.

I just started Love Finds You in Amana, Iowa by Melanie Dobson

[Diane U]

I am reading Ella Finds Love Again by Jerry S. Eicher to finish up the series.

[Grace]

I'm reading by C.S. Lewis for the second time. I absolutely love it!

[Ozeilia]

I'm reading In Greene Pastutes.

My favorite author of all times - C. S. Lewis. It's not fiction, but "Mere Christianity" is a classic. Worth checking into if you haven't already read it.

[Cathi]

Does anyone have any suggestion's?

[Melanie]

Currently reading Short-Straw Bride by Karen Witemeyer! This is the first book I'm reading of hers. :)

[Karen]

Hope you enjoy it, Melanie. :-)

@ Melanie - Wow you were missing out on Great books! Karen is my favorite Author and I have read all four of her books. Can't wait till she writes some more! :)

@ Cathi - I would suggest Karen Witemeyer's books, if you haven't read hers yet. They are GREAT!!!

I really want to read her other books (especially "Head in the Clouds"), but this is the only one I have so far. :( Will have to see if I can get the other ones from the library. :)

[Melanie]

Just finished "Short-Straw Bride" by Karen Witemeyer - LOVED it! Now on to read my third book for the #boutofbooks read-a-thon! Trying to decide between:



I'm leaning towards reading "Lily" next.... :)

[Aerykah]

It was a great book, I hope you enjoy it! I think the series only gets better too!

[Catherine]

Lorna's Lake Manawa series is so fun!

[Dan]

I am reading The Search For Fiarra, by Stephen Lawhead..

[Aerykah]

I started this one today
The Last Thing I Remember by Andrew Klavan

[Abbi]

My brother loves those books and my sis enjoyed them too! They are on my I-need-to-read-but-have-too-many-books list!

[Aerykah]

I've seen the series at several book stores, but didn't want to read it bad enough to buy it. I just wasn't realy sure I would like them... Ya know? When I saw that the library had gotten them, I decided to get the first two.
I started this book at about 2:30-3:00 this afternoon & I'm already almost finished it! If the whole series is this good... ;D

[Aerykah]

I'm over 1/2 way through The Long Way Home by Andrew Klavan and it's just as good as the first one! :D

Why didn't I just get the whole series from the library?!

[Megan]

in the middle of The Chase by DiAnn Mills...so far it's fantastic!

[Aerykah]

Now reading The Truth of the Matter by Andrew Klavan
And re-reading Waterfall by Lisa Tawn Bergren

[Diane U]

I am reading and I still need to finish plus I need to start before my book club meets on 9/6.

[Aerykah]

Finished The Truth of the Matter last night

Moved on to The Final Hour by Andrew Klavan

[Susan]

I'm reading "Griselda Takes Flight" Joyce Magnin writes with incredible insight, intelligence and the right touch of humor. I highly recommend her books. They are read-alone books but it is a series which starts with Charlotte Figg Takes Over Paradise. Start with that one. Wonderful, wonderful books.

[Aerykah]

I'm reading The Sound of Red Returning by Sue Duffy
