I love your books! Thank you for posting a reading list! It is wonderful to be able to read stories without the bad language and sexual content. Its refreshing to see how things were and I wish they could be again. Again, I want to thank you!

ReplyDeleteMaryLu I dearly love your books and have reviewed some of them. God Bless you and annoint you as you write for his glory. jrs362 at hotmail dot com

Paula O(kyflo130@yahoo.co)
Happy Sunday, Ladies!! Just taking a break from gardening to drop by and say Hi and thank you all so much for commenting!! And for your kind words! I'm currently reading Protection for Hire by Camy Tang... not my normal fare since it's contemporary, but Camy is a good friend of mine. Besides, it's really good! Next in line is
ReplyDeleteBeside two Rivers by Rita Gerlach
Pursuit of Lucy Banning by Olivia Newport
Have a great evening!
MARYLU, I love Camy's writing, too. Haven't been able to keep up with contemporaries, though, with reading all the comps -- including yours, lol!
ReplyDeletePAULA, those are some of my fav authors, too!!!
ReplyDeleteJSQUIRE, I don't think MARYLU saw your blessing and annointing but I thank you just the same!
ReplyDeleteMARISSA, I loved Maid to Match! Hope you do, too!
ReplyDeleteJENNIFER, I am grateful to God for DIANN's healing. She was either the first or one of the very first ACFW teachers I had in the online courses.
ReplyDeleteGRACE, I think you are another one speaking to MARYLU and she probably didn't see your comment.
ReplyDeleteWow--what wonderful reading lists! Mine is so long it's scary. At the moment I'm deep in history books, researching WWII Germany for the setting of my next book--at least the one I hope to write!
ReplyDeleteSiri Mitchell's, "The Messenger" is next on my TBR fiction list.
Thank you so much for sharing my books through your blog--I'm truly honored, and look forward to discussing "Promise Me This" through the ACFW Book Club!
God's Blessings and Happy Reading!
This is so nice - I'm reading everyone else's comments and see so many books I haven't read and new authors for me too.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Veil of Pearls by MaryLu Tyndall. I've just started reading Composing Amelia by Alison Strobel.
On the list are also:
Chronicles of the Kings series by Lynn Austin
The Frontiersman's Daughter by Laura Frantz
Heart of Gold and Belonging by Robin Lee Hatcher
Five Miles South of Peculiar by Angela Hunt
The Girl's Still Got It by Liz Curis Higgs
Ahhhh... isn't reading great?
Caroline mcallister@bmts.com
From my other comment above - That's "The Girl's Still Got It : Take a Walk With Ruth and the God Who Rocked Her World" by Liz Curtis Higgs. Sorry for the typo!
ReplyDeleteCAROLINE - Laura's The Frontiersman's Daughter is still my fav Christian book. But I have been warned by Julie Lessman that Laura's upcoming release is even better, so we'll see. And I have to say Veil of Pearls is AMAZING and not to be missed. I would love to see that made into a movie.
ReplyDeleteI am SO excited to see all of these ideas of books to read!
ReplyDeleteHere is my list so far (in order of what I am looking forward to most):
"Veil of Pearls" MaryLu Tyndall
"Central Park Rendezvous" Mary Lu Tyndall
"The Rose of Winslow Street" Elizabeth Camden
"Lady of Milkweed Manor" Julie Klassen
"The Ride of Her Life" Lorna Seilstad(setting: summer lake in Idaho)
"Prize of my Heart" Lisa Noradto
"Hearts Safe Passage" Laurie Alice Eakes
"Short Straw Bride" Karn Witemeyer
"Dark Hour" Ginger Garrett (great historical/biographical fiction)
("One of the darkest and bloodiest stories of all time comes not from a medieval battlefield but from inside one of the most opulent palaces ever built. The strategies come not from men eager to extend their influence but from women bent on exercising their wit and prowess in a kingdom not their own. Treason and murder are fair game. Marriage is manipulation, a means to an end. Children are the enemy. And the days of the House of David are numbered--unless one woman can find the strength to conquer them all").
"Book of Days" James Rubart
(maybe reread Debrah White Smith's "Central Park" -- a take on Jane Austen's Mansfield Park)
And then, of course, I'll probably reread one of MaryLu's books (Redemption or Surrender the Heart) and try out some of the authors listed above. I am not doubt bookmarking this page!

ReplyDeleteCAROLINE
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Lynn Austen's Chronicles of the Kings series! It makes that history totally come to life! I also really enjoy Ginger Garrett's perspectives.
Have you read any of Francine River's Lineage of Grace books?
LifeDance :
ReplyDeleteYes, I've read one of the Lineage of Grace books. I forgot that I have them all in one book ... I'll add that to my reading list now! Thanks for the reminder! All of Lynn Austin's books are great too for the historical fiction. I finished her "Wonderland Creek" not too long ago and really enjoyed it.
I'm also hoping to read MaryLu Tyndall's "Charlestown Belles" series ...
What's the chance of winning a second swashbuckling book?
ReplyDeleteLIFEDANCE, you have an intersting list of books to read! MaryLu's and Julie Klassen's are not to be missed!
ReplyDeleteCAROLINE, I also enjoyed reading Wonderland Creek by Lynn Austin. Her next one sounds great, too! The Frontiersman's Daughter is my favorite historical fiction ever. Enjoy reading!
ReplyDeleteMELIDY, we'll enter you in the contest. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteJOLEEN, thanks for sharing. Love your new moniker! Life Dance sounds like a celebration!
ReplyDeleteWow..I love seeing everyone's book lists! I found a few I'll add to mine! By the way, Joleen (LifeDance) is the one who made (for free) the book trailer for The Redemption. I just adore it! You can find it on this page if you'd like to check it out: http://legacyofthekingspirates.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI have lots of books in my TBR stack, don't usually determine a reading order ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteI just started Prize of My Heart, a few others are
The Measure of Katie Calloway - Serena Miller
The Baroness - Susan May Warren
