No more Series - Just a Single

-

Please no series! Yes, there are great titles of books out there that are singles. For example if you are ready to explore and have time to leave your daily responsibilities idle Karen Hancock's "Arena" is your next read. I enjoyed the characters, found myself drawn to the possibilities, and was waiting on each turn of the page to know more. I know that there are those of you out there that skip, or even those that read the end of the book first. I urge you to avoid even reading the backcover. Venture in and let Karen take you on a journey that at times will bring you to tears and other times will make you read with all of the lights on! Then, as always, come back and share your view here with other readers and myself.

James Scott Bell wrote a great paperback drug store read "Presumed Guilty". Why call it that? Because it has all the findings: sex scandal, murder, mystery, and more. It is a Christian fiction read and one that keeps you guessing who is good and who is bad. In addition, James brings out a very real and powerful message at the end.

To conclude I am leaving you with a third option of a single reader: Terri Blackstock often writes in series. However, she has also written some very good single stories. One of these is "Emerald Windows." It is light, slightly suspenseful, and in Terri's usual manner a great read.

Out of the three mentioned in this post Terri's will more than likely be the fastest read, then James Scott Bell, and finally Karen's.

As you snuggle in your favorite reading chair this Holiday Season with a good book don't forget to come back and share your read findings here. I look forward to hearing them. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

I am not currently reviewing a book/author or even reading Christian fiction at the moment. It is an interesting break from the normal and I am enjoying selecting the titles right now. Since I rarely read in the secular market it is often difficult for me to find authors that are enjoyable or to my tastes. In May or perhaps early of this year I was lent a copy of Twilight by Stephanie Meyers . Wait! Hold on! If you are completely rolling your eyes at this point and believe that I have joined the teen band wagon let me get just a few words in edgewise here. Thank you. As I was saying, I was lent a copy of Twilight a while back. I had no real desire to read it because, as you, I had no desire to join the throng of teens and even pre-teens obsessing over this book/saga. The copy I had received was at the top of my "to read later" pile, so I picked it up and turned to page one. Please understand that I am not a fan of Vampires or even that sort of thriller market. I enjoy ...

Where do you see us in say 15-20 years? Common point that most people with a five year plan at least consider. Dare say, though, that you probably postulate that many of the lifestyles you have now will be the same. Think so? In past posts I talked about the unknown and how if we are truly honest with ourselves we know that there is a great deal we don't "know." Thinking about that unknown is not something we often don't like to do. Why? Because it can be scary. We like control - we like certainty (to a point) and we like answers. Yes, that build-up means that I have another book for you to read that will challenge you to think differently about what our world could be like in the future. Will you be in the same SES class? Will you have power? Will you be tattooed to slavery? Or invisible to those that have it all? Two posts back I mentioned that Sigmund released book #2! I truly tried hard to take my time with it. However, he is just one of those authors that get...
