What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I recently started a new devotional book - "Dwell: 90 Days at Home with God" by Sandra Byrd. I have enjoyed some of her fiction books, so when I saw this title I thought I'd give it a try. So far, so good!

The last book I read was Destined for You by Tracie Peterson, very good but sad too. Currently I'm reading The Letter Tree by Rachel Fordham, very good.

I'm reading "Proposing Mischief" by Regina Jennings. It's good so far. A bit of a unique main character, which I'm liking so far.

I recently read "Forevermore" by Cathy Marie Hake. I was fondly recalling how much I like some of her books and decided to re-read some of her books.

I'm currently reading The Flower Quilter by Mindy Steele. It is the first book in a new Amish fiction series: The Heart of the Amish. I enjoy Amish fiction, very formulaic but still good. After reading suspense it's nice to read something calm and gentle. Amish fiction fits that bill for me. First time reading Mindy Steele. She is on my very, very long list of favorites now. I love finding new authors!

I've never been a big Amish fiction fan, but it does seem very popular!

I'm moving on to "Letter Perfect" by Cathy Marie Hake - another one of her good books that I haven't read for years and wanted to enjoy again.

I'm trying to avoid adding new authors to me reading list, since I have so many books already waiting for me, but your big recommendation makes me tempted to add to my list Laurie. :D

I'm about to start "Engaging Deception" by Regina Jennings. I really loved the second book in the Joplin Chronicles series, so now I'm looking forward to this third book!

Oh good, glad it's not just me. ;)

Laurie, that title sounded interesting so I looked it up and a story about Martha sounds intriguing! Share if you like it or not please. :)

I finished Up from Dust, excellent book. I highly recommend it. Up next for me is What I Promise You by Liz Tolsma. It is the second book in the Echoes of the Past series.

I'm about halfway through The Premonition at Withers Farm by Jaime Jo Wright. She writes contemporary/historical mystery suspense.

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.
