Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

There has been a request for the genre and author match 'numbers' to be posted a few days before the first of the month to aid in planning. From here on out, I will go ahead and post both threads on or before the 28th of each month. I hope this will be helpful to y'all!

Our first 'author match' this year is #7! So, post your numbered lists and read whatever author 'matches' the number 7 slot. Then, don't forget to take that author out of the game for next month!

(*****Note that your list should have 13 selected authors from which to choose this month.*****)

(An explanation of the rules and a yearly tracker can be found here.)

My #7 author is Brenda Minton.
