Once I finally got around to reading the Hunger Games, just to see what the hype was about, I have to admit I got hooked. Spent the weekend reading the 2nd then 3rd in the series. I'm impressed. Great writing!

[Catherine]

Loved The Hunger Games! I also thought I would see what the deal was and then I got hooked and read them all in a few days.

[Rick]

Well, I decided to re-visit Charles Dickens this month, as I am reading his collection of Christmas stories. Good stuff! Brings back many fond memories of Christmases past.

[Carissa]

As soon as I finish my last final for school. I am going to tackle my love inspired Christmas books TBR pile.

[Aerykah]

I finished by Dee Henderson last weekend. All I can say is this -- After enjoying 12 books by this author, I'm pretty disappointed in this one. :/

A few minutes ago, I finished A Good-Hearted Man by Barbara Kaylor. It was pretty good. :)

Tonight, I plan to start Miss Match by Erynn Mangum

[Evelynn]

Almost done with , then going to dive into , and THEN going to read !

I LOVE that series, Jennifer! Are you a biblical fiction fan, or is Lynn Austin a favorite?

[Beverly]

I am currently reading The Aedyn Chronicles: Flight of the Outcasts, #2 in the Aedyn Chronicles series. This is a fantasy series for children, somewhat along the lines of the Narnia Chronicles. Written by Alister McGrath, a theologian from London

[Rachel]

I am reading Above the line take two by Karen Kingsbury.

I was very disappointed in that book also. I normally like Dee Henderson books.

I'm now reading Taming the Wind by Tracie Peterson

[Aerykah]

Yesterday, I finished The Girl in the Gatehouse by Julie Klassen

Another great read by Julie Klassen! :)

[Evelynn]

Okay, I have to admit, when I finished , I just had to read the rest. One leads right into the other. So now I'm on the third installment ( ), almost done with it, then I'll go to the fourth and final book, then I'm gonna borrow from my friend, then FINALLY get to , and this time, I'm certain!

[Catherine]

I sped through the 3rd one so quickly that I had to go back and re-read some of it. Yes the 3rd one was my least favorite, but I still enjoyed it.

[Valerie]

I've actually written over 50 novels, mostly Christian. The latest is an ebook offering that I would love to put on a Goodreads giveaway but they're not enabled to do that yet. WAGES OF SIN by Valerie Hansen has just gone live on Amazon and there's a long exerpt there if you're interested. I'll have it up on my website soon. Amazon beat me to it! And, yes, this is a shameless promo. I LOVE this book. Hope the link works for you.

At last, I got through the Chloe Mae series. And I just finished Pearl Maiden: A Tale on the Fall of Jerusalem, so I believe now it is safe so say that I will be starting Over the Edge very soon, perhaps today or tomorrow....

[Anastasia]

Just read
The Boy From the Basement
It's not a "Christian" book but is clean and an excellent read for anyone involved in foster care, with abused children, or interested in the perspective of a child who is betrayed by those who should love him. I highly recommend it.

[Nicole]

by Francine Rivers, my fist Christian Fiction EVER! I'd love to hear of any other books/authors anyone could suggest...I think I'd prefer Contempory Christian!

Nicole, did you read the rest of the series? Anything by her is good . . . anything!

[Mesu]

Hi Nicole!
Anything by Susan May Warren is also good. She's a fabulous writer. You can also check out www.novelcrossing.com for lots of Christian fiction ideas. (If you'd like to read more biblical/historical novels, I have two out and a third one releasing March 1--Love in a Broken Vessel) Enjoy! Love Amid the Ashes: A Novel Love's Sacred Song

"Lineage of Grace" Novellas by Francine Rivers...




I remember loving the first one and the third one...The last one was just okay to me...I dont remember exactly how I felt about the 2nd and 4th...But I know 1st and 3rd were my favorites if I am remembering correctly. :-) (Clicking on each book will tell you what each are about exactly but they're the Lineage leading up to the Messiah.) :-)

Any of the books written by Lisa Wingate or Donna Van Liere are good choices for Christian Fiction and a newer author in the Christian Fiction genre that I like is Dan Walsh. And of course, there is a whole series of books written by Jan Karon that are wonderful.

Relentless by Robin Parrish

"Unputdownable... the epitome of a suspense thriller." That's what bloggers are saying about Five Days of Fear by David Kovach.

Now available for sale in paperback and e-book at all major retailers!

During a family picnic, Jessica Britton’s well-ordered world is slammed against a brutal reality and her faith is tested when her mom is kidnapped, her dad is shot, and authorities can find no clues to begin their investigation. Jessica’s own anxiety and fear for her mother’s life compel her to help FBI Agent Dan Hamilton look for motives and clues that would lead to rescuing her mom. By chance, clues begin to emerge, and the once floundering investigation speeds to a hectic race against time and criminal minds in a desperate attempt to save Jessica’s mom and the lives of many in San Francisco’s business district.

[Catherine]

I just finished Courtney Walsh's Sweethaven Summer, contemporary Christian - a welcome respite from winter gloom!

[Evelynn]

Started last week, and I'm finishing because my mom didn't want to finish it. It's actually really good so far, I'm almost halfway through. And I'm enjoying Over the Edge a lot, too!

[Abigail]

Currently Reading: Already read the 1st in the series, it was Great!

I absolutely LOVED Love's Reckoning. Definitely one of my favorite books. I am excited for the next book in the series!

Agreed on Love's Reckoning! Great heroine, formidable villains, and an adorable Scottish hero!

Valerie Hansen's newest ebook, DANGEROUS DEVOTION, just went live on Amazon and Nook. If I were smarter about computers I'd post the cover here. I did put it up on Facebook, under Valerie Whisenand, and am still trying to make the notifications work for me. Yes, I am a certified cyber-doofus.

[Valerie]

I sure wish somebody would tell me how to post a cover in my messages. Anyway, I changed my "photo" to the newest ebook cover. DANGEROUS DEVOTION just went live today on Kindle and Nook.

[Valerie]

Oh, sure, now it shows up and makes me look as if I'm even more clueless than usual! LOL
Val

[Julianna]

I'm still clueless about it too!!

[Evelynn]

@Valerie: When you post another comment on here, in the box just above where you are typing there's a button that says "add book/author". Click on it, and type in the name of the book. When you find it, there's a select button at the bottom of the little search window that popped up when you clicked "add book/author" that says "link" or "cover". Select "cover"; select the book you want to show and you're set.

[Julianna]

Thanks Evelyn now I know!!!

I am reading the Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsglover. Read some good reviews and since I have had it on my shelf, why not.
