As I brainstorm an idea for my sixth novel, I’m doing a lot of reading. Trying to make a dent in my TBR (to be read) pile.
I just finished Jody Hedlund’s debut novel, The Preacher’s Bride. I wrote a review on Amazon. Seriously, this book is amazing. I read it in two days.
Now I’m working on The Help by Kathryn Stockett
Next…..
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer
Demon by Tosca Lee
The Perfect Stranger by Christina Berry
Crossing Oceans by Gina Holmes
Peace Like a River by Leif Enger
Chasing Lilacs by Carla Stewart
Belong to Me by Marisa De Los Santos
A Tailor-Made Bride by Karen Witemeyer
Plus, I should be getting Snow Day by Billy Coffee. I’m pumped to read that book. In fact, during one of my appointments at the ACFW conference, I met with an editor who worked with Billy on Snow Day. She’s no longer with FaithWords, so I didn’t put two-and-two together at first, until she started talking about how much she loved one of the novels my agent submitted to her – a novel that should be coming out soon. I asked what it was called and she said, “Snow Day.”
I’m wondering….if somebody browsed through my Kindle, what conclusions would they draw about me based on my TBR pile? Do you ever form opinions or draw conclusions about a person based on what they’re reading?
Question to Ponder: Does what you read send a message about who you are? What novels have you read lately? Do you have any to recommend? What novels are waiting patiently on your TBR pile?
