Happy Thanksgiving!

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise …

A Novel Christmas List–More for Women

Thanks to everyone who stopped by last Tuesday to check out my Christmas list ideas for women. For those of who didn’t see something that fit, I have a few additional favorites I know that special woman in your life will love! And I’m not done yet. Over the next two weeks I’ll be covering YA, Speculative, Biblical fiction, Minnesota …

A Novel Christmas List – Especially for Guys

Now, don’t get me wrong. Just because I recommend these books for that special man in your life, doesn’t mean they won’t appeal to women.

But on that day, the thread seemed awfully weak and appeared to be fraying. So, I …

To be more specific, we went to the 11:00 …

November 2013 – Novel Anticipation

SINGULARITY, The Jevin Banks Experience Book #2 by Steven James (Revell) – As I mentioned in my What Books are on Your Nightstand? post, I’ve already read Singularity, so this is more of a Novel Recommendation than Anticipation.
