Kim, Elizabeth does a fabulous job as a writer – and keeping the reader on the edge of their seat.
Currently listening to the audiobook version of The Sands of Sea Blue Beach by Rachel Hauck. Love her characters and dialogue…kind and engaging.

A Calamity of Souls, by David Baldacci
I Think I Was Murdered, by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker
Author
Tim, thanks. I really enjoyed A Calamity of Souls. And I’ve got to read Colleen and Rick’s book.
I just finished When I’m With You & Sunrise Reef. Both light, quick reads. Also recently read Forged in Shadows. So thankful for Christian writers who write in all the genres 😊
Author
Thanks, Kelly. We Christian writers want to provide great reading in every genre possible.
Thanks for sharing your reading list and the sale price for Canyon of Deceit. Canyon of Deceit has been on my wish list since before it released! Thank you.
Still a fan,
Glenda
Oh, Glenda, I’m so glad. Let me know how you like it.
Hello DiAnn how do you find the time and thank you for sharing. I am on book #4 the last in the series of A Rock Harbor Mystery by Colleen Coble. Have enjoyed each book with GOD in the mix and how dogs are trained to be search and rescue. I bought The Book of God which will take some time and Dark Water Secrets by Robin Caroll. When I read Spoken From the Heart by Laura Bush is when I discovered how I become part of the story. It was so well written that I went right along with her growing up in Texas. My daughter bought me The Widow by John Grisham not here yet. Thank you all for sharing and I wrote down some of the authors. DiAnn you are still my favorite when I discovered you on Amazon I bought book after book after book. One of my favorites was A Woman Called Sage. 🙂
Louise, you made my day, especially when you read such great writers. Know what? A Woman Called Sage is my favorite historical. Be blessed!
Thank you for sharing your list! I loved the Frozen River so much! Enjoy! 🩷
Author
Thanks, Samantha. Can’t wait to dive in.
DiAnn,
Thank you for the amazing list. I really enjoyed the Frozen River. Based on a true woman , Martha Ballard from 18 th century. Most interesting as well as informative.
Thank you for sharing your interest list. Amazing what we readers have in common, as well as an introduction to something new.
Bless you!
Thanks, Joyce, I need to put Frozen River on my to-be-read list. Sounds wonderful.
I have recently read Elderhood and The In-Between. Both are nonfiction dealing with aging and end of life. I am using these for a workshop I will be presenting in the future.
Now I need something light. Got any recommendations?
Author
Hi Cindy, a fun book? Hmm. Mary Connealy writes historicals that are fun. https://www.maryconnealy.com
Hi Cindy. I hope you don’t mind me jumping in here. Tea With elephants by Robin Jones Gunn is light, refreshing and has lots of laughter. In fact, I enjoyed it so much, I read it, the. Reread it.
Thank you, Barbara! Jump in anytime! I have just put a hold on it in the Libby app.
I hope you enjoy it, Cindy!
I have finished 3 books in the Nutfield Saga series. They are written by Robin Patchen. What a terrific suspense writer she is and once I start, I have to finish if possible.
I love your books too.
I’ve read a few on your list. I also saw some new authors to explore!
I’m rereading Deborah Sprinkle’s Trouble in Pleasant Valley series and presently on Book Three, Silence Can Be Deadly.
I’m looking forward to reading—oh wow, so many of the ones mentioned above. Sounds delightful.
Hi Barb, I agree Debbie Sprinkle’s books are addictive!
I have read Pat’s book, Serial Burn and All We Thought We Knew. I am on the team for Miss Beth Bettencourt so I will be reading that one.
Just finished Whiteout by Dani Pettrey and Lynette Eason. Fabulous!
Thanks, Paula, we read along the same line of books. Great writers and great stories.
I just finished reading The Pursuit of Elena Bradford by Ann H. Gabhart. Loved, loved, loved it!
Author
She’s a wonderful writer!
Hi DiAnn!
I tried to buy Canyon of Deceit on my IPad and my IPhone. I got a message that it was not available to purchase on either device. Am I missing something? Love all your books!
