ReplyDelete#1 Firestorm by Laura V. Hilton
#2 The Hope Jar by Wanda Brunstetter (August)
ReplyDelete#3 The Cowboys Little Girl by Kat Brooks (LI)
ReplyDeleteteamob4 (at) gmail (dot) com
My apologies, that's supposed to be Brookes with an "e"!
DeleteThat last one looks really good BUT it's a June release so feel free to choose another book. Have you ever read Kat Brookes before? I haven't heard of her at all.
DeleteGood luck with the other two, Trixi.
Arggggg....I hate when a book is listed as a July release (Harlequin) and then after I re-check on Amazon, it says the Kindle version is July & the paperback releases on June 19! I'll have to rethink my choice and come back...thanks Kav.
DeleteNo I've not heard of Kat either, that's why I was excited by a new-to-me author. Sigh....
That's strange that the kindle comes out later. That doesn't make sense.
DeleteOkay, sorry Kav....I got nothing! I don't read much contemporary so I'll stick with the first two choices.
DeleteHave you read Kara Isaac yet? Pam K just mentioned that she has a new one coming out in September -- All Made Up -- It isn't on Amazon yet, just on GoodReads. I'm super excited. So now we have to figure out how to conquer a GoodReads search. lol
DeleteNo way?! Kara Isaac! I'll have to remember that for Friday.
DeleteA Christmas by the Sea by Melody Carlson mauback55 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteA Widows Hope by Vannetta Chapman mauback55 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteThe Reckoning at Gossamer Pond by Jaime Jo Wright mauback55 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteOhhhh -- a Melody Carlson Christmas story. She puts one out every year and I love them! Good luck, Melanie.
DeleteI'm entering this first pick before I forget and I'll come back later with my others. I hope this one counts. The ebook has already been released, but the paperback doesn't release until 9/1/18.
ReplyDelete1.) Justice by Emily Conrad
tlhcoupon(at)Hotmail(dot)com
Yay! I almost pre-ordered this one. I still might.
ReplyDelete2.) Take a Chance by Shelley Shepard Gray
tlhcoupon(at)Hotmail(dot)com
Eep -- a Shelley Shepard Gray novel that isn't Amish or historical????? How awesome is that?! Good luck, Terrill.
DeleteHi ladies. This new one from Shelley is actually not categorize as Christian Fiction, though fairly clean.
DeleteReally?! What do you mean by fairly clean?
DeleteI haven't read it yet, but I think it's clean, just with some trigger points. Not 100% sure yet.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI just checked SSG's website and she describes this new series as such, "The books focus on friendship, family, and faith..." I'm not sure what "triggers" Just Commonly is referring to, but nothing like that is mentioned in her description of the series. Amazon has it classified as "Clean and Wholesome" and "Inspirational." To me, that sounds more than "fairly clean."
DeleteWell, I love Shelley Shepard Gray and would follow her into practically any genre so one of us will have to read it and tell the world what we think!
DeleteI wholeheartedly agree! :) I was looking at other SSG books last night and came on here to see if you had reviewed one I was considering. I shouldn't have even bothered, b/c you've read EVERYTHING by her and that's the best review any author's book can get. Haha!!
DeleteHouse at Saltwater Point by Colleen Coble

ReplyDeleteWow -- Cindy Woodsmall writing Southern fiction! I gotta read that! Good luck, Diana.
DeleteDoesn't this one sound good, Diana? I received an email from Pelican to review it before it was released, but I read the email too late. Such a bummer, since this is one I really found intriguing. :(

#3 Formula by Deception by Carrie Stuart Parks
ReplyDeletepaulams49ATsbcglobalDOTnet
Yes, I like suspense!
I couldn't find June by the Book by Pepper Basham on Amazon. Not under Pepper Basham and not just as a title even. ?????
DeleteI agree -- I think everyone is going to be reading Dead Drift in July. How can we resist? Good luck, Paula.
Never mind, -- it's Jane by the Book and Heidi says it's only on GoodReads right now cause it's indie published. So you're good.
DeleteKav, it's called Jane by the Book and is a book in the Once Upon a Laugh novella collection.
DeleteMy fingers goofed! Oops!
DeleteBwahahaha! Well, we are in June so your fingers were likely thinking they knew what you wanted to type and just went ahead and did it for you.
DeleteJane by the Book by Pepper D. Basham (indie published so it's not on Amazon yet, Goodreads has the pub date)

Thanks for the info about Jane by the Book. I recently read my first Pepper Basham book and now I aim to read them all. Good luck, Heidi.
DeleteJane by the Book by Pepper Basham...or is it JUNE ...I see it titled here both ways by commenters, and I can't find it listed in order to be sure! Anyway, love her books! Thanks, Kav!
ReplyDeletejacsmi75 at gmail dot com
Good luck, Kate.
ReplyDeleteWell, Heidi is right....Goodreads says JANE by the Book is due to be published in July!
ReplyDeleteYes, Heidi cleared up the mystery -- hopefully it comes out in paperback too. Good luck, Jackie.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteHEY YA'LL!!!! Guess what I found coming out in July??? A new RUTH LOGAN HERNE cowboy Love Inspired.....
ReplyDeleteHer Cowboy Reunion
I'm getting a copy because I review for her, but I thought I'd just leave this right here.....
Oh man!! Right after I posted my third pick. I might have to switch my choice. I even looked her up by name to see if she had any upcoming books. Thanks for sharing, Trixi!
DeleteTerrill, I didn't know either until I started seeing other reviewers posting book pictures on our FB group. I had NO idea she had another one coming out...
DeleteI got my review copy in the mail today, can't wait to read it!
DeleteSCREEEEECHHHHHH!!!! Sorry, if I pierced any eardrums...and to my neighbour for starting her schnauzer howling....RUTH LOGAN HERNE!!!!! I'm so reading that as soon as it comes out. Thanks, Trixi. Feel free to switch Terrill if you so desire.
DeleteI was having such a hard time picking a third, because so many of my choices can be filed under mystery/suspense. Since that's the case, I probably have plenty to spare. Haha! Like you, I enjoy dual or even multiple timelines.
