To many books and to little time.
I’ve read ten of these, including all four historical romance. Our book club selection for this month is All That is Secret, so I’ll be reading that also. So many great books!
I’m looking forward to reading some of these books. 🙂
Under the Magnolias by T. I. Lowe was A.Ma.Zing!!!!
So many great authors & books. Congrats!
Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you.
Carrie, Thank you for sharing these amazing authors! The Christy Awards is a wonderful time of the year!
I’ve read several and many more are on the TBR pile. Congrats to all nominees. It would be such fun to attend but timing doesn’t work this time. Thanks for giveaway opportunity.
Thanks so much for featuring all of these awesome books! I don’t envy anyone who has to make any decisions because there are just so many great choices!
I wish I were able to attend the awards. It would be great to meet some of my favorite authors and cheer them on.
Some great books! I have read The Letter Keeper, Drawn by the Current, Yours is the Night, As Dawn Breaks, Hope Between the Pages and Until Leaves Fall in Paris!
I love The Christy Awards! I don’t think I’ve read any of the nominees this year (kind of odd) but I’m looking forward to them!
