I read Journey to the Well, which was reviewed by Melissa and wrote about it on my blog. I'm a bit late posting this but wanted to join in since I really appreciate all the great recommendations here!

I also have to chime in and say The Guernsey Literary Too Long Title is also one of my favorite books.

I need to post here since I don’t know when I’d get to it on my blog.

I read “Miss Fortune” and “Miss Match” and enjoyed them–fun, light, reads. Perfect for the beach or a long plane ride. I’ll be looking for more in the series.

I read “Things I Want my Daughters to Know” and also enjoyed it. It wasn’t a tear-jerker at all; it was full of hope for life, and the problems of the living, even though they are grieving. Ironically I read it just after the loss of my own mother, which made it more emotional for me. But I thought it was a good read.

I also read “The Guernsey Literary Too Long Title” and enjoyed it, although I felt that the beginning was better than the end. I loved the first half or so, and thought the second kind of blah. I mean, Oscar Wilde’s letters? Whatever. It seemed a bit too “cute”, if that makes sense, and also felt anachronistic in some areas. Still, a good read for the beach or airplane.

I have also read a lot of Madeleine L’Engle’s work, but not recently. I read her “Crosswicks Journal” trilogy in the late 80s, and have re- read them several times. They offer good reflections, and I return to them. I’ve read some of the “Austins” books but not all, but I would like to get them for my daughter, who is finally going to read the “Wrinkle in Time” books! YAAY!

And now that I’ve essentially written a post in comments, I will stop now and go off to finish my book (A Mercy, by Toni Morrison)

My Son, John, by Kathi Macias is a remarkable tale of God’s immeasurable love and limitless forgiveness. Kathi Macias captures the raw emotions of her characters and weaves them into this poignant story that shows how we can overcome tragedy with God’s strength and how powerfully healing His forgiveness is for all of us.

Robin Shope is a phenomenal storyteller! She has the ability to weave romance and suspense into a book that not only keeps readers enthusiastically turning pages but also cheering the characters on along the perilous journey. Wildcard has both heart-racing suspense and endearing moments of romance. It is a book worth reading!

Wildcard by Robin Shope is a thrilling suspense with the right amount of romance. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Here is a blurb to intice you..
What would happen if someone secured a microchip that could be manipulated to give his or her candidate the edge to win the next presidential election? Not enough votes for a landslide, but just enough to put their candidate over the top in a decisive win. The Wildcards are a group of maverick agents who want to take over the outcome of the next election for President of the United States. During Ivy Dillon’s last week as a Washington Intern, she and Ms. Geneen Waters, the secretary to the President of the United States, overhear a conversation about voting machines and missing software. Months later Ms. Waters body is found floating in the Potomac River. FBI Special Agent Ian Serby, who swears he will give his life to protect her, takes Ivy into protective custody. Ian is smart, sexy and seems to have a hidden agenda all his own. Will Ivy follow her heart and believe what Ian tells her about trying to stop the Wildcards or is he actually a member of the Wildcards?
