I finished this one last night and really enjoyed it! (note that this one, while not overtly 'Christian' is definitely 'inspirational')

I finished Sharpshooter in Petticoats by Mary Connealy.

I only got one in this month.

07. Francine Rivers - July

nice!

I didn't read any by Lisa Phillips this month, but read a couple earlier in the year and plan to read more by the end of the year.

I read novels by two other authors of the month though so calling it a win!

well done!

I read 4 books by Laura Scott this month and plan to read more by the end of the year. These did get me two completed series, as well.

good job!

*archiving, but leaving open to comments*

Forgot to update, I actually got two others as well:

love it!

Finished late but finished. This was really good! Looking forward to the next book in the series. What an incredible author!
