I've been doing a LOT of reading lately!!!
I just finished Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. It is a Christian Fiction novel (my first)...and it is probably one of my all time favorite books. It's set in the 1850's Gold Rush era in California. The main character, Angel, is a prostitute. The story is of a man, Michael, who follows God's wishes for him to take her away & marry her....and his struggles to help Angel. I was soooo overcome with emotion reading it. Seriously...go out and buy it!!! AMAZING! Thanks Alana for recommending it and letting me borrow it!!
On a completely different reading genre...I've been reading the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. I'm just loving them! So simple and fun! I got the first book after Christmas and am now on the 8th book :) It's a more "adult" version of Twilight...yet very unique. The series was started long before Stephenie Meyer started Twilight...so its not a knockoff. Although...I wonder if Stephenie didn't get some of her ideas from Charlaine Harris...??? We've been watching the True Blood series also...very good!
I also read Dear John last week...and then saw the movie. Yes, the movie ends a little "better" than the book (I guess you can say that)....but the book is WAYYYYY better! Typical Nicholas Sparks. My sis also loaned me The Last Song...so I hope to knock that out this week!
I've read a few more books since Christmas too...The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, The Traveler's Gift and The Gift by Richard Paul Evans. All good books!

Redeeming Love is AMAZING! All of you talking about reading it makes me want to read it again, which I rarely do!
I'm reading Dear John right now and just got a biographical book in the mail from Thomas Nelson Publishers about, guess who? Jane Austen! They will send the books free if I read them and do a little review of them on my blog and on their website. Pretty cool. Anyway, sounds like you've been busy in the books! I can't imagine anyone not reading.
I am so glad you loved Redeeming Love as much as I did! I have been forcing it on everyone that comes into the library...we need more copies ;)
you forgot to mention who got you the first book of the sookie stackhouse series :)
Loved Redeeming Love!! Cried through many of the chapters!
