    book review: save the date, jenny b. jones

    Save the Date, Jenny B. JonesTitle: Save the Date
    Author: Jenny B. Jones
    Category: Christian Fiction
    Publisher: Thomas Nelson, January 2011
    Starred Review: 5 out of 5 stars

    I’ve just recently started to read more Christian fiction. As with Deeanne Gist, who I read on a recommendation from Joy at Edgy Inspirational Romance, I picked up Jenny B. Jones’s Save the Date. Joy wasn’t the only person recommending the book, and I began seeing it everywhere, but it was Joy’s suggestion that she pictured Tom Welling [photo here] as our male hero, Alex, that caught my attention. If you know anything about me, you know I’m a huge “Smallville” fan. And a Clark Kent fan. And a Tom Welling as Clark Kent in “Smallville” fan. So that mention pretty much solidified it for me that I was going to read the book.

    Challenge: Off the Shelf

    Honestly, I’m not a huge mystery fan. Oh, I’ve read them. In fact, when I was in middle/high school, I went through must of The Cat Who… genre mystery series. But I don’t read much anymore. Now before you go telling me that Deeanne Gist is a Christian romance author, I know it already. The other fiction of hers I’ve read (Maid to Match, Deep in the Heart of Trouble, Measure of a Lady) is of the historical romance sort. Beguiled, however, is set in contemporary Charleston and is as much of a mystery as it is a romance.

    book review: the lady most likely…

    The Lady Most Likely...Title: The Lady Most Likely…
    Author: Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, Connie Brockway
    Category: Romance, Regency
    Publisher: Avon, December 2010
    Starred Review: 3 out of 5 stars

    I never miss a Julia Quinn book. She’s had a few collaborative books before — both Lady Whistledown novels comprised of interconnecting short stories. But this was an entire novel in three parts. Basically, what this means, is that there were three couples, each created and penned by a different author.

    book review: happy ever after, nora roberts

    Happy Ever After, Nora RobertsTitle: Happy Ever After
    Author: Nora Roberts
    Category: Romance
    Publisher: Penguin, November 2010
    Starred Review: 4 out of 5

    This is the final book in Nora Roberts’ Wedding Quartet. I read the first three quickly in a row this summer, and was frustrated when I realized I’d have to wait until November for the final one. The books are about four friends who went from playing Wedding Day as children to running a booming wedding business as adults.

    book review: redeeming love, francine rivers

    Redeeming Love, Francine RiversTitle: Redeeming Love

    Note: Originally posted 8.17.10 at Bookshelf360

    This book was a recommendation to me by several different people, and I avoided it because I wasn’t so sure I’d like it. I have an aversion to Christian fiction, not because it’s Christian but because it needs to be categorized as such. Can’t it be a novel about Christian characters, ideals, and morals without being sectioned off as a specific genre. It’s still fiction. Why does it matter if it’s also Christian?
