You are so right about her books being compulsive reads. One of my favorite parts of her books are the fascinating historical details.Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658473250718768593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7469808576364463281.post-47577137543172343502011-01-14T19:47:59.161-05:002011-01-14T19:47:59.161-05:00KAV!!!

I need another bookshelf...sooner then soon! LOL. I haven't tried my local thrift stores or second hand bookstores for Christian Fiction, but I suppose that's something I should look into. And hey -- you can always win books on blogs too, right? Which leads me to say you're in on the draw.

Somehow that one by Klassen slipped by me. <br /><br />Hannah, I know what you mean about the regular bookstores not having Christian Fiction. None of our independent bookstores carry it at all and Chapters has them on line but not as many in store. Not even sure if they have a section just for Christian fiction. I do, however, have an incredible Christian bookstore in town. They carry most everything...even if it comes in a bit later then in the states. And what they don't get in they'll order for me and the turn around time is around a week. Really good service, family owned. I LOVE supporting independent businesses.<br /><br />Maybe you'll get lucky, Hannah and win this one!Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7469808576364463281.post-20739272542378256462011-01-14T08:54:58.708-05:002011-01-14T08:54:58.708-05:00Kav,

It kind of steals my breath away everytime I see it : )<br /><br />I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy of this one. Checked at Borders yesterday and they don't have it. I don't know about anyone else, but our bookstores have really tiny Christian Fiction sections. I like a lot of the books they DO have, but can't find any of the ones I ever want!! LOL! Like the Love Finds You In...books, they don't carry them! So then I'd have to go through the hassle of ordering them, which means I can't use a coupon on them. It's annoying ; )<br /><br />I'm so glad you enjoyed this and thanks for another excellent review!<br />Hannah<br />hccelie(at)gmail(dot)comProject Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996866245417584719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7469808576364463281.post-10469356363800248342011-01-14T08:52:59.510-05:002011-01-14T08:52:59.510-05:00Kav, your posts are as exquisite as the books you ...Kav, your posts are as exquisite as the books you review.<br /><br />I think this was my favorite of Julie Klassen's books.
