Shauna, I found out just today that you hosted this challenge! It looks great. If you decide to do another challenge like this (or any other for that matter) make sure you visit my blog A Novel Challenge and let me know so I can support your challenge!

Shauna---DEFINITELY give WINTER BIRDS another try. It does start slow and dry, that's because the protagonist's life is SLOW AND DRY. But as her life changes, so does the story. This book didn't win a Christy for nuttin', I can guarantee you that!:)

As part of your challenge, I've now started THIS HEAVY SILENCE by Nicole Mazzarella. She was an award winner for 2006. I'm only a chapter or two into it but so far its very good. I'll update when I finish it.

I ALWAYS add to my reading list from the Christy award-winners. Unfortunately, I'm just working WAY too much right now! Erggggh...anyway, it's such a great idea, and perhaps I can join in later.

I'm in! I have Straight up on hold at the library already, so I'll start with that one, but I'd like to get two in so I'll post on my blog once I decide (probably in the next day or two!)

The Liz Curtis Higgs Scottish Highland books are absolutely the best. I loved them!! I would recommend them to all! It has a great story and you get to travel Scotland and see and hear all the sounds!!

I found your site through bloghopping. I'd LOVE to join. I've read some past Christy winners, and I was impressed. Can I include past reads, too? ;)

2007-06-13T10:51:00.000-06:00

I would enjoy reading some Christian fiction that may (hopefully) be good. I does seem a little "romance-y" for my taste.

I'll post soon and let you know....

2007-06-12T16:37:00.000-06:00

It was going to be July 7, but I think I will keep it open until the end of July since I am going to be reading several instead of one myself and probably won't finish them all by then. So yes, July 31 it is!

Thanks for the tip, Elysa. I actually gave up on Winter Birds when I started reading it last year, but maybe I'll have another go at it!

2007-06-11T13:14:00.000-06:00

Jill---WINTER BIRDS is one of my all time favorite books so I hope you enjoy it. Let me warn you, its VERY slow in the beginning. Its supposed to be that way. Its about a woman who is basically dead except for her body. She's gone to relatives house to have her bare basics provided for til she just passes on. But she has NO idea what's in store for her. I got to the end and thought "what a beautiful story".

Of course, Elysa!

2007-06-08T21:53:00.000-06:00

Ooops, not half, about a fourth. I've read about half in the genres I like and then just a sprinkling in the ones I'm not so into right now. I used to devour Romance and Historical fiction but for some reason I'm just not into those styles at present.

Okay, I'm shutting my trap now, or in this case stiling my digits, and leaving you alone! :)
