My TBR list has a lot of books that I want to read, and which I am slowly (very slowly) making my way through.
The speed at which I crawl through the to-read pile may or may not have anything to do with the speed at which I also purchase new books. As I have recently heard, buying books and reading books are two separate hobbies.
If I tell you some of the books I especially want to read from my to-read pile, maybe I’ll actually read them! Here goes …
- Desert Willow by Patricia Beal, because I enjoyed A time to Dance, so really should read this.
- Why I Still Believe by Mary Jo Sharp, because so many people leave the faith as adult,s and I’d like to understand that better …. which includes understanding why people stay.
- Over the Waters by Deborah Raney, because it was recommended to me.
- The Holy Bible (English Standard Version), because I try and read a different version each year and the ESV is new to me.
- The Bible Recap by Tara-Leigh Cobble, a one-year chronological reading plan based on the ESV (and which has a Bible app plan and a daily podcast, so I can chose to read or listen each day).
- Daring Greatly by Brenee Brown, because she’s an author who has been recommended to me by both Christians and nonChristians, so she seems to have bridged the Christian/general market divide.
- Forgiven by Carol Ashby, another book/author that’s been recommended to me.
- A Lowcountry Bride by Preslaysa Williams, which I keep meaning to read yet somehow haven’t.
- Canyon War by Sarah Elizabeth Sawyer, because it’s got a great opening line, and features a nineteenth-century female doctor.
- Operation Romance Books 1-4 by Elizabeth Maddrey. I’ve actually just read the first two and discovered the box set while researching this post … so please excuse me while I read #3 and #4.
I will also be reading the next releases from some of my favourite contemporary and historical romance authors, including:
- Carolyn Miller
- Becky Wade
- Tari Faris
- Meredith Resce (her Luella Linley series is brilliant)
- Elizabeth Camden
- Elizabeth Musser
- Christine Dillon
- Carla Laureano
- Lynn Austin
- Janet W Ferguson
- Susan Meissner
- Courtney Walsh
- Mila Holt
