Thanks so much for including Chasing Lilacs on your list. You've been a great encouragement to me.

I'd have to say The Preacher's Bride is close to the top for me too. I just finished it last night..a great read. I still need to read many on your list. I just need so much more time in my day.
However my #1 book would have to be UNLOCKED by Karen Kingsbury. Having a son with autism pulled me into this book like no other this year.
Happy new year!!

Thanks to you all for commenting ๐

Jim, Carla, Laura & Ronie ~ keep writing such great books and you will be sure to make my Top 10 ๐ Thanks for taking the time to visit.

Hi Rel,
I have to agree with Laura–with your committment to reading and promoting Christian fiction, it's really an honor to be on your Top 10 list! Thank you so much for your encouragement this year. As a debut author it really means a lot!
Have a wonderful hiatus! It's odd to think that you're on summer holiday while we're in the middle of winter! But that's one thing I love about the internet–the ability to connect with others from around the world.
Blessings!

I loved Within My Heart and Driftwood Lane also. And I really wanted to read The Preacher's Bride but didn't get to it. It's TBR in 2011 though.

Thanks for your lovely words, Jody ๐
Joy ~ you won't be disappointed with The Preacher's Bride. Hope you get to it soon.
