That sounds interesting, Laurie!
I'm reading "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. I've been meaning to read it for years, and I was especially curious when I realized the AIO episode "Tuesdays with Wooton" was obviously named after that book. It's very good so far. I would definitely recommend it to teen and up readers. I'm not quite done yet and curious to see exactly what happens.
It was a good book. Now I'm reading A Match in the Making by Jen Turano. It is the first book in her The Matchmakers trilogy. Very good so far. Jen Turano is one of my favorites.

I just got done reading God Gave Rock and Roll to You: A History of Contemporary Christian Music. I have to say having a Dad who worked in Christian radio most of the information in this book was not new to me, however it interesting to how the effects of the industry have been and still continue to be felt even if it's not as big as it was in the 90's.
Yesterday I finished Until Leaves Fall in Paris by Sarah Sundin, excellent story. I've started The Farm Stand by Amy Clipston, it is the second book in her Amish Marketplace series.

That sounds like an interesting book! That's a great title.
I'm reading "12 Crucial Truths of the Christian Faith" by Josh McDowell and Sean McDowell. I like to take my time with non-fiction books, so I'll read a chapter here and there between reading my fiction book. It's off to a good start!
I just now finished The Farm Stand, very good there were some characters that I did not like at first but they turned around at the end. Up next for me is The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip by Sara Brunsvold, a new author for me.

I'm not familiar with that author, Laurie. I hope you enjoy it!
I'm starting "A Castaway in Cornwall" by Julie Klassen. I love her books and got behind on reading her new books. I buy them as they are released and then fall into the trap of saving them for the perfect time because I know they'll be really good, but then it's a couple of years and a couple of new books later and they're still unread! Oh dear.
The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip was released in 2022. Sadly it has taken me this long to read it. It is Ms. Brunsvold's first novel. She has a new novel: The Divine Proverb of Streusel out now. Released this year.
I finished The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip, a beautiful and very moving story. Up next for me is Fragile Designs by Colleen Coble.

I just got done reading it and one thing I find interesting is how they talk about artists like Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson even though they weren't in Christian music (both had church backgrounds, though) they were still expected to hold to the ideal woman that Christian culture demanded.
I finished Fragile Designs, good book. Not as much suspense as I hoped though. Up next for me is In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer, it is the second book in her Timeless series.

I finished The Heart's Choice, very good. There were two characters I did not like but that only shows how very talented Tracie Peterson and Kimberley Woodhouse are.
Up next for me is FDR's Mentors by Michael J. Gerhardt.
