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.

Born a Crime - Trevor Noah. Really pulls you in from the first few paragraphs!

Posted: **Mon Apr 08, 2024 5:58 am**

I finished In This Moment, excellent book! I can't wait for the third book. Up next for me is The Woman from Lydia by Angela Hunt.

I working through the Wingfeather Saga rn. I’m like half way thru book 2

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.

Yes Laurie, I agree that sometimes not liking a character is a sign of a good book if that was the intention!

I'm reading "The Cubicle Next Door" by Siri Mitchell. Last night I went to examine my many unread books, determined to select one for my next read, and instead selected...a book from 2006 that I have read multiple times. The heart wants what it wants.

Posted: **Mon Apr 29, 2024 5:13 am**

I'm over halfway finished reading Positively, Penelope by Pepper Basham, it is the second book in her Skymar trilogy. Very good.

Posted: **Tue Apr 30, 2024 6:38 pm**

The Siri Mitchell book I just finished reminded me how much I love her books, so now I'm trying to decide which one to read next! I've mostly settled on "Kissing Adrien," since it's been so long since I read it that I don't remember it that well.

Posted: **Tue Apr 30, 2024 7:39 pm**

I just finished Positively, Penelope. I loved it, absolutely wonderful! I received the third and final book today but I'm going to put off reading it for a while only because I don't want the trilogy to end. I'm very strange because I do that with series or trilogies that I really enjoy. Ironically there is a Karen Witemeyer trilogy Hanger's Horsemen, I have yet to read the third book. It is bizarre because I've finished trilogies and series and kept going but with these two I'm putting off reading the final book. Up next for me is Fairest of Heart by Karen Witemeyer, it is the first book in her Texas Ever After trilogy.

I actually do that too sometimes, Laurie! I have a trilogy I loved years ago that I still haven't read the third book of because I decided to wait to read the last one because the series was so good, and then I waited so long I thought I should reread the first two again, and I haven't done it yet. It's so good to have a book friend who understands.

I really liked "Fairest of Heart" and I picked up the second one to read soon.

I finished Fairest of Heart, very good. Up next for me is The Unvanquished by Patrick K. O'Donnell.
