Angie H’s comments from the Christian Fiction Devourers group.

Well I only read 4 books in January. I started quite a few but just wasn't able to finish them.

(4 stars)

Middle Grade:
(4 stars)
(read this with my son and he loved it)

GM:
(3 stars, but really a 2 star for enjoyment level)

I have finished Genesis and currently reading Job.( reading chronologically). last Sunday our church gathered together and spent the afternoon reading through the whole book of Acts together, took us about 3.5 hours. So I guess I am technically done that book as well, although later in the year I may do a re-read of it.☺

Sofia: I am reading it right now, and really enjoying it. Melissa Tagg is one of my favourite authors so I am expecting good things☺

Christine: there is an app called Youversion. it is a Bible app that has a whole bunch of Bible plans and also has audible Bible I believe.....just be careful of some of their regular Bible studies they don't always have reliable teachers....

One of my big goals for 2021 is to concentrate on backlist books! I have about 40 auto-add authors on my Goodreads and I only read 40-50 books a year so the list can add up pretty fast. I've been a little disappointed in newer books that I have read lately so I want to go back to the authors that I have loved in the past and read their books....at least that is the goal! 😉

I am going for the Big Kahuna in Chronological order with a NKJV Bible. I've never read the Bible this way before, and I've never read this translation!

plans for January:
(start in January, not finish)

If I get those done, other options include:

Here are the ones that jump out at me.

Older ones: (2020)

I've read about 3 books by Charles Martin and my favourite was When Crickets Cry, but I enjoyed the others I read too!

August is turning out to be a bad reading month for me. =( So far all I have finished is one audio book.


up next:

I have had this book on my shelf for a LONG time, so I will nominate ...not sure if anyone else has already read it since it was published in 2008...

I read this book last month and gave it 5 stars! I loved it! You guys are in for a fun read. This book had me laughing out loud many times.
Beth- I also enjoy a book that has two characters that dislike each other, and the banter back and forth between these two is spot on!
Enjoy! :)
