My Reading List
RV There Yet? by Diann Hunt
Future read...
Not a Sparrow Falls by Linda Nichols
Next!
Dying Declaration by Randy Singer
This was a terrific book! It starts off pulling your heartstrings, has legalese, intrigue, a little romance, & has you cheering in the end (with a chuckle)!
Bunko Babes by Leah Starr Baker
I've yet to even buy this one!
The Pearl by Angela Hunt
This book was VERY good! Makes one truly think about the slippery slope when we start messing with cloning...
Asylum by Nan Corbitt Allen
This is a great one... not done yet, but almost!
The Visitation by Frank Peretti
Slow getting into it... will continue...
Quaker Summer by Lisa Samson
I'm still working on this one too!
The Sacrifice by Robert Whitlow
This is SO good! I'm almost done...
Winter Passing by Cindy McCormick Martinusen
This book was amazing... haunting stories of the holocaust mixed with suspense & intrigue of the present. Beautiful descriptions.
Sweet Home Alabama
by Paige Winship Dooly, Pamela Kaye Tracy, Pamela Griffin, & Lisa Harris
Sounded like a fun theme for a novella collection. Turned out to be fluff.
Saint Ben by John Fischer
LOVED this book! The descriptions of the pranks played were delightful. The author was completely successful in bringing you into an era gone by, & the entire book was realistic & poignant.
Catherine Wheels by Leif Peterson
A waste of time. The back cover of this book billed it as a Christian novel, but was more of a misdirected Catholic theme. The characters were immoral & the story was slow. The spirituality consisted of the characters pinning their hopes & dreams literally to a clothesline in a convent! No point!
Anonymous Tip by Michael Farris
This could happen to anyone! If someone erroneously reported you to CPS, how far would it go? One of my favourite books so far! Courtroom drama, romance, raw realism... Among some predictability, also a few good twists & turns. I highly recommend this one!
The Martyr's Song by Ted Dekker
An amazing story reminiscent of Elie Wiesel's "Night." This time set in Bosnia, it tells a horrific story of torture, but also shows a lesson of forgiveness & the freedom that awaits us in the world beyond. A good read for those feeling persecuted within their own circumstances. The audio CD included with the hardcover book has a lovely song by Todd Agnew.
Gardenias for Breakfast by Robin Jones Gunn
This was a lovely novel! I didn't expect it to be so good. A great mother/daughter, healing the past/coming of age story. I highly recommend.
The Redemption by M.L. Tyndall
So entertaining... are you kidding me? A Christian pirate novel? Really quite good. Has become a series. I intend to read the sequels.
The Sacrifice by Beverly Lewis
#3 in the Abram's Daughters series of Amish novels. LOVED this book so much I went & bought not only the rest of the series but the rest of her books! Beautifully written books all!
Dark Hour by Ginger Garrett
The 1st in the Serpent Moon Trilogy... I still need to read this one.
Master Potter by Jill Austin
An allegorical novel showing God's restoration power in our lives. Wonderfully descriptive. I put it down so close to finishing, now I need to start again!
Joshua: A Parable for Today by Joseph Girzone
If Jesus came back today, would we recognize him? This book explores the possibilities in a novel turned movie (starring Tony Goldman). I loved it & think back on it often... Timeless!
Divine Stories of the Yahweh Sisterhood
by Michelle Medlock Adams & Gena Maselli
A lovely collection of stories & devotionals dedicated to Christian sisterhood. Buy one for your mother, sister, friends...
Night by Elie Wiesel
A must read! Short, but haunting. Professor Wiesel puts his heart into these books & deserves his recognition. Lest we forget...
Grace in Thine Eyes by Liz Curtis Higgs
A lovely book so far...
THR3E by Ted Dekker
Scary, but good! Okay, well not scary, but suspenseful. Lots of twists & turns. A good read.
A Song I Knew by Heart
I found this hard to get into & have yet to finish it. I will though!
Sins of the Fathers by James Scott Bell
Loved the idea of this book, but the character development was lacking. It was a good story, but could have been so much better (& longer).

I've enjoyed reading your blog very much and have thus decided to follow you. Hope you don't mind! :D
I have a blog as well, which you can follow if you're interested. It's the life story of a badass, modern Pecos-Bill-type character told in daily vignettes. I'm looking for actual readers, rather than just clickers/supporters, so if anyone's interested, feel free to take a look. =)
