I call myself a BIG fan, but I have only read 5.Next month's group read will help me fix that :o)

I just noticed that Keeper of the Keys is a short story, not a novel. I will take it off the list above. So, I am closer to goal than I thought. :D
I am all over this challenge! Thanks for setting this up! She is one of my absolute favorite authors. I've not read everything she's written (yet) BUT I have enjoyed everything I've read by her thus far! :)

Narrow it down to a favorite! Oh my!!! This is extremely hard for me but...so far...Sugar and its sequel This Bitter Earth and, of course, Gathering of Waters.
Mod
Mine is definitely Sugar!"
Definitely Sugar. I think it was by far her most interesting and her best storytelling.
Did any of you McFaddenites read this?!! https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...
MUST..KEEP...EYE...OUT...FOR... BOOK OF HARLAN...!!!!!
Now I really need to get crackin on finishing them all. I have 3 more to go!
I almost want to make one of those posts filled with animated gifs like the YA fans do...well almost. LOL
Mod
Listen up all you McFadden fans! The Book of Harlan will be out in 2015!
Here is her blog post about it

She says it's her longest book yet. Maybe I won't have to complain about wanting MORE this time.

I have read them all...and like others have noted, I've disappointed in the latest releases.

I think the wait is almost over.
The Book of Harlan has an actual pub date, cover, being promoted etc.
It is about 400 pages.
She says it..."
Mod
I have 2 more books to read by this author before her new book comes out

I edited this challenge to add The Book of HarlanI am 8 for 10.
Still need to read The Warmest December and Nowhere Is a Place
my first McFadden was Book of Harlan, now I have also read Sugar and This Bitter Earth. I don't know what to read next. Any suggestions? I have no idea how this author never made it into my radar.
If you want a more contemporary story read ...Loving Donovan or Camilla's Roses
If you want a historical trip read....
Gathering of Waters or Glorious
thank you Londa. I don't understand why I am just seeing this message two days later. I will go contemporary.
