Went a little PBS crazy and have 80 books in my TBR. I just noticed the W for WIshlists. Should I read them first?  Take a peek  at my TBR list and tell me which one you'd read next.

Hey Robin!  I think we've all done the same thing!

When I tried to look at your list, that link takes me to my own TBR.  To share your TBR with others, you have to tag all of the books on it with something like  "Robin's TBR" or put them on a Book List.

Only one life, `twill soon be past.

Only what's done for Christ will last.... Amen!

I only read a couple of those, Robin, but I'd recommend anything by Colleen Coble or Mindy Starns Clark...two of my current favorites.

And I had to laugh at this title Murder Mayhem And a Fine Man.  For those of you who played in our Frazzled Fairy Tale swap, I hope that's not what happened to Anna!

Freefall was so very good.  I also loved Not a Sparrow Falls by Linda Nichols.

I have to second the recommendation for anything by Colleen Coble. I would also add "Danger in the Shadows" by Dee Henderson. That entire series is on my list of all time favorite books.

Also anything by Stormie Omartian is always good.

I would recommend Roxanne Henke...saw that her second book was on your list.  I would recommend that you read her first book, After Anne, before Finding Ruth. 

Also, Shadows of Lancaster County by Mindy Starns Clark is *awesome*!!!  I read it in about 2 days....it's great!

Thanks. Now I have some recomendations for next.

I'm half way through "No Mercy" right now. It is like "The Shack" which I loved--a metophorial allogory about the Trinity.

Publisher Descption

No Mercy is a sweeping adventure of life, love, trust, and desire?an odyssey asserting that real life is more than meets the eye.

Hank Henderson thought he was going on vacation to Montana, but his brother had something else in mind. Hank?s life soon dangles on the precipice of disaster.

Disoriented. Injured. His resources depleted, Hank is caught between powerful forces. One is dark, aggressive, and powerful. The other, of questionable integrity, appears Hank?s only option for freedom.

From his placid fishing of Malden Creek into a dungeon of double-dealing, Hank crosses swollen rivers, scales blizzard strewn heights, and discovers more than he bargained for in an unlikely ally.

His hope dependent upon a hesitant trust, Hank gambles to emerge from No Mercy a transformed person.

Should be finshed tomorrow. So far I REALLY like it!

Taking 4 of my children and 5 grandchildren  to the new Narnia movie tonight.
