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 of 2015
I only read 72 books in 2015. I know, to many of you that sounds like a lot, but I used to read over 100 books, easily. Much of the blame for the low number lies with life taking precedence over reading time, but some blame also belongs to the decreasing number of books I’m interested in reading. It seems fewer and …
Novel Anticipation – September 2015
So excited about the books coming out this month! Two of my favorite authors, authors who write outside the norm for Christian fiction, have releases this month. So if you enjoy “clean” fiction but want something more challenging than your typical CBA fare, I highly recommend these works. THE MISTRESS OF TALL ACRE by Laura Frantz The American Revolution is …

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 …
Reading on the Road
Last week our family took a much-needed vacation. After two months of graduations and birthdays and last concerts and a book launch, we finally had time to breathe. We spent the first part of the week in Branson, Missouri. LOVE the Ozarks! What amazing beauty! Then we spent the final couple of days in Kansas City, MO, visiting Worlds of …

Favorite Novels from 2012
My Goodreads bookshelf shows that I read 126 books in 2012. That’s up 19 from the previous year, which surprised me since I’d assumed, at the beginning of 2012, that I’d read less. But, with all those books, only (7) were marked FAVORITE. To receive *Favorite* status, they must combine captivating story, rich prose, complex-authentic-believable characters, and true-to-life dialogue. In addition, all …
