    I finished GRACE AT LOW TIDE by Beth Webb Hart (family drama). I don't even know how to describe it. I think there is another book in the series and I will probably check it out because this one left too much unresolved.

    Currently I am working on my July read: THE MESSENGER by Siri Mitchell. It is about a Quaker girl that the family winds up with a British officer transcripting their home. She is passing messages to inside the prison, and her brother.

    Love that series by Dani Pettrey. I got a news letter from her and it sounds like the next book with have to do with Gettysburg, at least that is where she is doing her research!

    I am nearly finished with THE LACEMAKER. Not a lot of making lace in the story, but it has been very good, as Laura Frantz usually is!

    Well, there isn't another book to go with the Beth Webb Hart book. That definitely lowers the score...and it wasn't high to begin with. There just wasn't resolution.

    I finished BEN IN LOVE by Luana Ehrlich (suspense) This was the 7th book in the Dangerous Deceptions anthology. It was really good, but I don't know how good it would have been if you hadn't read the Titus Ray books.

    Current:
    LIAR LIKE HER by D.L. Wood (suspense) - This is familiar in some ways, but I have never read any of her books. This is the last book in the anthology. I am really enjoying the anthology, but I am ready for something else.
    THE MESSENGER by Siri Mitchell - This is very good. I will either finish tonight or tomorrow.

    I finished THE LACEMAKER. It was very good. I started another one I had by her that I hadn't read yet, something like A COURAGEOUS WOMAN. It's another that takes place during the Revolutionary War but this one is about a pioneering family.

    Well, I finished the Dangerous Deceptions anthology. I think the last 2 were the best.

    I am currently listening to FOREVER MY OWN by Tracie Peterson (historical). This is her newest. Very good.

    I haven't started on an ebook at this time, but will probably start reading the Yada Yada Prayer Group books (some again, then will be new).

    I think my YADA YADA PRAYER GROUP books are actual books. I think those ended up in a closet downstairs. Might go dig those out.

    I finished SUBMERGED by Dani Pettrey (romantic suspense). VERY good.

    I am reading the first Yada Yada book, and it is not familiar at all. I wonder if I picked them up somewhere in the middle. I think I got rid of my physical books a long time ago.

    I finished ARCHER by Camille Elliot (who is really Camy Checketts). There were some crude things said in the story, two comments I can remember, but nothing else untoward. Pretty good. It is a serial-type story so one story runs into the other. I downloaded book two last night and will get started on it some time today. I have to find out what happens to the hero!

    Kim - Camille Elliot is actually Camy Tang.

    Finished:
    THE YADA YADA PRAYER GROUP by Neta Jackson - These books just resonate with me. They may not be for everyone, but I love them.
    FOREVER MY OWN by Tracie Peterson (historical) - Really good. I am looking forward to the next one.

    Current:
    THE WYOMING HEIR by Naomi Rawlings (LI historical) - I don't have any idea why I checked the book out, but I decided there must be a reason, so I started on it. I'm just about 10 pages into it, so I have to opinions. Naomi Rawlings is a good author, though.
    BREACH OF HONOR by Janice Cantore (suspense) - I will be starting soon. I was going to listen to Mary Connealy's newest book, but didn't want two historicals at the same time.

    You are right, it is Camy Tang! LOL! I don't usually enjoy her stories, but I am enjoying these (except for those occasional crude remarks).

    I am reading book two, BERSERKER, by Camille Elliot and it's a lot like book one, the same stuff happening, but I still don't know what is going to happen to our heroes, so I'll keep reading.

    I'm currently reading A WESTERN BOND by Lee Robin McClain. It's pretty good, although the title is deceiving. It's set in Montana, but that's the only thing Western about it.
  • connierandel
    connierandel Posts: 1,885 Member
    Kim - I do like Camy Tang (especially her LI Suspense) - I not fond of Cami Checketts.

    Current:
    YADA YADA PRAYER GROUP GETS DOWN by Neta Jackson - I love this series. Kim - it is pretty "Pentecostal", so if you haven't read it, beware. It has some great Biblical prayer principals.
    BREACH OF TRUST by Janice Cantore - I'm not too far into it, but is very good so far.

    Finished:
    YADA YADA PRAYER PRAYER GROUPS GETS REAL by Neta Jackson
    THE COTTAGE ON GHOST LANE by Christy Barritt (suspense)- her newest series. Very good.
    THE WYOMING HEIR by Naomi Rawlings (LI historical) - good book. Not really in Wyoming, but the heir is from there and wants to go back. I still don't know why I checked it out, but it wasn't a wasted check-out.

    It's nice you're enjoying the YADA YADA PRAYER GROUP series Connie. I would agree with you; it's a good one.

    Finished: A WESTERN BOND by Lee Tobin McClain.

    Current: Downloaded a series by the same author - free on ku - ROMANCE FROM THE HEART. First up: SHELTERED HEARTS.

    Finished:
    THE YADA YADA PRAYER GROUP GETS REAL by Neta Jackson - very good. I am trying to read something else between them, so will probably start the next one tonight or tomorrow.
    BREACH OF HONOR by Janice Cantore (suspense) - SO good! It deals with spousal abuse and dirty police departments.

    Current:
    THE WRANGLING OF THE WREATH by Liz Isaacson (romance) KU - This is the newest book in the series.
    A MAN WITH A PAST by Mary Connealy (historical) - I haven't actually started this one yet, but I will before bed. This is her newest book.

    I finished BERSERKER by Camille Elliot and went on to AGGRESSOR. Starts with some crudeness (several pages about the hero of the story needing to use the privvy after being unconscious for a week).
    Eph 5:3  But do not let immorality or any impurity or greed even be named among you, as is proper among saints; 4  and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 

    I'm reading a couple of fantasies and occasionally getting back to MCKENZIE by Penny Zeller, a wester MOB.

    Finished:
    THE WRANGLING OF THE WREATH by Liz Isaacson (romance) KU - This is the next-to-last book in the series, I think. I have been enjoying them.

    Current:
    THE YADA YADA PRAYER GROUP GETS TOUGH by Neta Jackson - Whew, I know I would have remembered this one. It is dealing with a "white supremacy" group. Of course, the Yada Yada prayer group has people from all ethnic backgrounds, so it is hitting them close to the belt. I am almost half way through it.
    A MAN WITH A PAST by Mary Connealy (historical) - Her newest. So far, I haven't found it humorous, but it is very good. I usually enjoy a laugh in her books.

    I realized about 10 pages in that I had already read SHELTERED HEARTS by Lee Tobin McClain, but I re-read it anyway. I'm glad I did, as I'm not recognizing the next one - SECRETS OF THE HEART. They appear to be flowing from one sibling's story into the next, so I'm glad to have refreshed my mind with the foundational story.

    Not really liking the Camille Elliot series, just too much crudeness in it, and this third one has a bit of the lustful stuff going on as well. Time to just let it go. My main hero woke up but he needs more of the stuff that made him go berserker to keep him alive - we'll just have to assume he finds it and all ends well! LOL!

    Read some more in AN UNCOMMON WOMAN or something like that, by Laura Frantz. Mercy, so many sad things happening at this point, but when you go and live in Indian country, what can you expect???

    I finished the Yada Yada Prayer Group series. She has another series that goes back with a few of the characters from this and the other two series, but I can only find 2 of them in all of the library sources that I can use. I don't know if I want to get started on it and not finish (5 books).

    Also finished:
    A MAN WITH A PAST by Mary Connealy (historical) - Not as funny as most, but very good.
    A TIME TO LOVE by Marion Ueckermann (romance) - heartbreaking that there won't be more of her books. I am going to try to finish the remainder of her KU available books. There aren't many more.
    SHOW ME A FAKE FIANCE by Alexa Verde (romance) KU - pretty good, I am enjoying the Cowboy Crossing series

    Current:
    THE ONE YOU’RE WITH by Lauren K Denton - Pretty good. It deals with the husband finding out that he is the father of an 18 year old pregnant girl, from a time before he was married.

    Finished:
    RUNNING UBOMI by Dianne Wilson (South Africa) KU - Comedy of errors. Good. Book 2 in the series. Book 3 isn't out yet.
    SEE ME by Autumn Macarthur (Chapel Cove romance) KU - blind man/homeless woman. Really enjoyed it.
    SECRET ADMIRER by Lisa Prysock (Whispers in Wyoming) KU - fairly light and easy.
    THE ONE YOU’RE WITH by Lauren K Denton (family drama) - pretty good.

    Current:
    SHELTERED HEARTS by Lee Tobin McClain - Thanks for the recommendation, Cindy. I am just getting started on it.

    I don't know what audiobook I will start tonight. I will let you know later.

    I'm starting COLLISION OF WILLS by Evangeline Kelly. When I'm finished with that I'll start on the series I downloaded by Marion Ueckermann: SEVEN SUITORS FOR SEVEN SISTERS. KU had the first 4 books in a bundle.

    I finished one of the fantasies that I was reading, THE BLUE TOWER. There are five towers in the series. As you read you realize that the children in this story were adults in their time and have died and come here to work their way to the White Tower, which is assumedly, heaven. Sounds a little too much like this is a story of purgatory, and since that isn't biblical I pretty much stopped being into the story. Won't go on with that series.

    MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE by Robin Lee Hatcher (romance) - Not too far into this one. I fell asleep listening to it last night, and need to figure out where I am. I only had it set for 15 minutes, so couldn't be too far back!
