Brief Sabbatical

-
Sadly, for the rest of July and August I am taking a brief sabbatical from my regular reading adventures. It is forced and not a personal choice but one that is necessary.

However, I wanted to leave you with a list of some good reading for the rest of your summer. Of course, I highly recommend: Melody Carlson, Jeffery Overstreet, and Mindy Starns Clark. Don't forget that Karen Hancocks new book is soon to hit the stores.

Then here is a list of Amazon's Top 10 reads for 2009: Best Books of the Year... So Far - Click Here.

I have too many favorites so I tend to just recommend authors. For summer reading I am loving Melody Carlson this summer. Her "I heart Bloomberg" Series is fun! Still one of my favorite authors of all times is Mindy Starns Clark. Her Million Dollar Series is the BEST! For Christian Fantasy I strongly recommend Karon Hancock. Enjoy!

At the top of my "to read later" pile...

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

Another Book Give Away - Let's explore!

-
I have been sitting idle for a while on the whole book contest/give away idea mainly because so many people just email me "hey, I'll take a free book." The point of the contest is to learn more about books and reading right!? With that said, I don't really want to hear that you will accept a free book. I am sure that lots of people would take a free book. All of that said, let's try another book give away for Fall. Here is the requirement: I want to hear about what you read this summer. It does not have to be fiction, Christian, or even a book. Perhaps you read a great magazine article. Share you favorite read from this summer and why. I am going to review all the posts and emails and pick a winner based on what they share. Truly, I look forward to hearing your stories. This is how I learn about great reads myself. Enjoy! (I promise the reward that you earn is a great book!) Contest Ends: October 25, 2009
