Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

Welcome to this month's Hidden Gems challenge!

Hidden Gems is a fantastic way to plow through those mountains of books claiming space in your house or e-reader. I have found that this challenge produces some fun group interaction as well, because someone else chooses which book you’ll read next.

If you sign up, you'll be matched up with a Hidden Gems partner. You will choose a book from the list your partner designates which you have already read and cannot believe your partner hasn’t read yet. Your partner will do the same for you with the list you designate. The point is to find that “Hidden Gem” that you think they’ll love… because you adored it when you read it!

Let us know which books you choose for each other. When you finish reading your gem, let us know what you thought about it. Perhaps your Hidden Gem might find its way to someone else’s wish list!

Match-ups will be created on the 10th of the month. Please choose books for each other by the 13th.

Sign up by telling us which list you’d like your partner to choose from.

Happy reading, friends!

Hi Katrina! I haven't read most of the books on your list, but a lot of them look good. Here are my choices for you:

I've read two stories so far in the first book (which I loved), and I've been wanting to read the other two books. Enjoy!

Hi Missy,

I've only read one book on your list, so I'll recommend that one:


And in the Christmas theme, I choose one that I think is floating around our house somewhere:

Thanks, Sarita! I finally got the library's copy of Dancing with Fireflies (they ordered it when their new fiscal year began, so I had to wait an extra month or two to get back to it). I'm eager to catch up with where I was in it back when we were buddy reading it and then carry on and see what happens next. Thanks so much for choosing it for me!

Charlene chose for me:
