I heard it talked about on facebook so looked it up. It was about Bohnhoffer. and if any of you write fiction stories about the time of World War 2 it is a really good book for research. just a thought.

If you have never read a Carie Lawson book you are missing out! The Twisted Roots Series is TOPS! I just LOVE the McCord Family! Carie writes with realism and heart. I guess you can tell she's a favorite author of mine!<br /><br />Anyway, just wanted to encourage prospective readers to pick up her books!Sherry Kuhnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273030710129623807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-19334050562391903452011-03-10T19:49:48.264-08:002011-03-10T19:49:48.264-08:00Jo, that sounds like a book that would help put li...Jo, that sounds like a book that would help put life in perspective!

I love the way that I keep finding new authors to add to my wish list and new books to read.<br /><br />The best book that I have read this past year was "Finding Jenna" by Miralee Ferrell. I enjoyed it because no matter what happened she just kept fighting and not giving up even when it meant having to live in a woman's shelter.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Jo<br />ladijo40(at)aol(dot)comJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09701821129126576340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-36690267320181335612011-03-10T13:51:59.475-08:002011-03-10T13:51:59.475-08:00Let me know if you ever find those hours, Carie.

What I loved about that book was its accuracy about the Civil War period. For a seventh or eight grade class I would think it should be required reading if they are in process of studying the War Between the States. Excellent Read. Now I want to go read it again. (It's worth adding to your library shelf if you haven't yet.)<br />ShirleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237137146322873116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-11318696906157944142011-03-10T12:00:22.652-08:002011-03-10T12:00:22.652-08:00I love the premise of your story.

But it has to come through the Lord. <br /><br />My fave book this year had been Lady in the Mist by Laurie Alice Eakes. I love it for the multiple mysteries, romance, but also for the historical aspect. Stays with you! Great book!<br /><br />desertrose5173 at gmail dot comLindahttp://www.onedesertrose.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-86479804933399718802011-03-10T10:36:12.271-08:002011-03-10T10:36:12.271-08:00Peg, I'm curious now, would Killer Angels be a...Peg, I'm curious now, would Killer Angels be appropriate for my 7th grader?

It rejuvenates me for the evening and the kids use it to read. And it looks like I'll be adding to my to be read list!

So I have to pick ONE favorite book in the last year? Golly... that's a tall order. I'll pick "The Killer Angels", even though it was the 2nd time I've read it, because Michael Shaara really brings the battle of Gettysburg to life in a way that I haven't found it in numerous other books I've read about that battle. I could feel the sweat, smell the gunpowder and was deafened by the cannons as I read. <br /><br />twinwillowsfarm at gmail dot comPegg Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113756304449398701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-35004390714673216142011-03-09T22:24:48.618-08:002011-03-09T22:24:48.618-08:00Boy, I would love to know how you homeschool four ...Boy, I would love to know how you homeschool four children and write! I am homeschooling four boys and they keep me on my toes! I barely have brain power to make dinner sometimes! <br />I would love to write as I have all the ideas in my head driving me insane! <br />Anyhow...best book last year...I would have to say a non-christian fiction book I read called The Diplomat's wife is one that comes to mind. I mostly only read Christian, but this one was a grabber. Also, The Seamstress about a holocaust survivor was another incredible one.Martha A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02426112535240400393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8931786447770768460.post-43312143966887461252011-03-09T20:24:47.959-08:002011-03-09T20:24:47.959-08:00Thanks Janice!
