WHAT ARE YOU READING? AND FREE BOOK!

0 comments

Thought it would be fun to find out what you're reading. When I attend book signings I always ask the question that fascinates me the most and that's, WHAT ARE YOU READING?

I’m currently reading, The Anatomist's Wife (A Lady Darby Mystery). It’s a debut novel by Anna Lee Huber and includes all the same kinds of things I love in the novels I write: a mystery, a romance, it’s a historical set in Scotland which I also love but I’ve chosen to use England’s historical backdrop for my novels. It's not Christian fiction. Although I’m only at about chapter five the author has done a good job of hooking me. Be warned though that this novel is not for the squeamish.

In the non-fiction department I’m reading Lucille Zimmerman’s, Renewed: Finding Your Inner Happy in an Overwhelmed World. This is a great book about taking care of ourselves. As counselor I love exploring new ways of taking care of myself and then passing on what I’ve learned to the college students I counsel.

So share what you’re reading with us today. Everyone who leaves a comment will be put in a drawing for one of my three novels: Secrets of the Heart, Chameleon, or Mystery of the Heart. The choice is yours. You can leave comments today and until Thursday (9/12/13) at midnight, Pacific time. I’ll pick a winner via random.org and post it sometime Friday.

So let me hear from you.

So, what are you reading?

Jillian Kent said...: Thanks for sharing your reads with us, Susan and Shirley. I have to get around to reading Ronie's books. I'm especially interested in Talon because there is a character, who is not a dog, in Chameleon, with the same name. :)

I'll be sure to check out those other books too, and I know those TBR piles can be daunting. That's why I like my Kindle. It doesn't look so overwhelming to me if I purchase books that way. I still love holding a book in my hands and turning the pages though. That will never grow old.; September 11, 2013 at 8:06 AM

Jillian Kent said...: Hi Barb,
The Amish books are everywhere! It's amazing. My buddy, Serena Miller's novel, Love Finds You in Sugar Creek, OH. is being made into a movie and I'm so excited for her. And I think all of us have at least one of Lena's books in our TBR piles. :) Thanks so much for allowing us to glimpse into your reading life.; September 11, 2013 at 8:03 PM
