What February releases are you looking forward to reading?
As you know, Bren, I've read and reviewed Frantic which releases February 7th. Good book and a bit different for Mike. The last three look interesting.
ReplyDeleteNicole, I've enjoyed all of Mike Dellosso's books so far, so I'm certain this will be no different. We'll have to compare notes once I've read it.
ReplyDeleteBrenda, A discerning reading friend from Texas just emailed to ask my for book reccs so I came over to your blog ASAP:) You really do have a wonderful book ministry here, you know. I was able to tell her about Charles Martin and am going to add a few more to her list and mine. Bless you so much and happy reading, my faithful friend!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you humble me, Laura, and convince me that this little blog is worth the effort.
DeleteI love finding novels that take storytelling up a few notches, regardless of genre. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than telling others about those books and authors.
Blessings!
On Friday I realized I omitted a book that's top on my list for February releases: KILL SHOT by Vince Flynn (http://vinceflynn.com). No, this is not a book I'd recommend for your church library (his language can be raw, and his novels are violent by nature). Still, I've noticed that Flynn has gathered quite the following from Christians. So if you're looking for a high octane story, one that is really about good vs. evil, check out Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp series. (Warning: They can be addicting!)
ReplyDeleteFor a unique radio interview with the author, check out this link: http://www.1500espn.com/ondemand/. Go to Friday, February 3 & scroll down to Garage Logic, hour 1. Flynn is a local author who always gives his first interview (for a new release) to his friends on Garage Logic. You'll hear the personal side of the author here. It's an hour long interview, but it's well worth your time.
Yes! Can. Not. Wait!
