About Me
I am an ecclectic reader, as i like fiction, literary fiction, and cozy mysteries.... and most everything in between. I don't like fantasy, sci-fi or paranormal/witchcraft type or westerns.

Sadly, the author has died, and there will be no more Southern Sisters Mysteries.
about Philip Yancey 2006-10-04 11:42:17
This author is my husband's and my favorite Christian non-fiction author. We are ministers, and have read every book this author has written. He is very "real" and down to earth, and his writing is powerful and excellent. I cannot recommend this author highly enough!
about Elizabeth Berg 2006-10-04 09:07:18
When I came to this author, there was only one book listed on her list of works: Talk Before Sleep. I love this author so much that I added all the rest of her works here. I love Berg's way of writing -- she is so descriptive and well written, and really KNOWS the way people think and feel. I loved Year of Pleasures, and Range of Motion... well, I just love them all. If you try a Berg book and don't like it, try a different one. They are all so very different.
