2016 Novel Anticipation

As the publishing climate continues to change, my list of must-read books continues to shrink. 2016 will not bring us the latest Laura Frantz, as her publisher is moving her to spring releases. My good friend Lorna Seilstad doesn’t have a book coming out this year either (insert sad face). I’m sure Charles Martin will have a 2016 release, but …

Favorite Novels from 2014

2014 was a slow year of reading for me. Typically, I’ll read over 100 books, but in 2014 I only completed 78. That’s due to a combination of factors, including having less time to read having released two novels during the year, and being much more picky about what I read. As you can see, while I still prefer contemporary …

Her future rests with mysterious photographer Davis Knight, …

Getting to Know Becky Wade

(Book Giveaway! See below) I’m very excited to welcome author Becky Wade to my blog today! In 2012, Becky’s contemporary romance novel, MY STUBBORN HEART, jumped to the top of many readers’ favorite’s list. Mine included. After that sparkling debut, I couldn’t wait to read more from her and, finally, a few weeks back, I spotted her new release UNDENIABLY YOURS …

Discovering Gold at the Local Bookseller

While out and about yesterday, I happened to stop in our local bookstore and was very surprised and happy to find new releases I’ve been waiting months to read. It’s almost like finding gold. 🙂 (I also helped myself to a little shelf-rearranging to make sure the covers were displayed, not just the spine.) WHEN LOVE CALLS, Gregory Sisters Series …
