That is really a good price. I've seen very short stories with even less pages than that for $.99. If I'm waffling over buying a book I look at the page count and if the cost is at or less than a penny a page then I feel better about buying it.

I'm more than half-way through with the third book in a fantasy that I'm reading. I finished the Mary Alford story in the two story LIS I bought. I haven't started the second one. The Mary Alford one was very good, non-stop suspense and a crazy murderer too.

I found two that I'd read. I responded on that thread.

I'm almost done re-listening to ROWLAND BINGHAM missionary bio. Very good again.

I am also almost done with listening to SKY OF SEVEN COLORS which has been quite strange but suspenseful as well. A girl is taken from our earth full of color and brought to an earth with almost no color by a brother/sister giant pair. They tell her that she is going to marry their king so that the giants can get their long sleep period to rejuvenate them. I know, weird! She is in love with a guy back home and he is dying from an accident just before she was snatched and she is told that the man she is to marry can heal him - this is the only reason she goes along with all of this nonsense! Some surprises near the ending, but I still hold out hope that she will be able to be with her love again!

I started TIDES OF TIME by Sarah Eden last night (also a listen) and so far it's been power packed! There is a time-travel type thing happening, but not by a ton of years. The woman is fleeing from imprisonment in France and she is tossed from her ship in a storm and ends up a couple of decades later on the English shore.

WROUGHT OF SAPPHIRE AND SEA is the fourth book in a fantasy series I am really enjoying. It does have a Christian bent to it, but just mentions here and there.

I finished SNAPDRAGON in the multi-author flower fairy tale re-tellings, Sarah Beran wrote this one. It was very good. FORGET-ME-NOT by J F Rogers So far so good.

COURTING DANGER by Laura Ashwood is one of those Pinkerton Brides stories. She has to marry a male agent for her first case, then she can get an annulment if she wants to.

I finished CALLISTA AND THE ELF by Anabelle Raven, a seven book series that I got all the way through! This was the final book and I enjoyed the entire fantasy series.

The second book in AMISH COUNTRY HIDEOUT is SEEKING AMISH SHELTER by Alison Stone. I just started this one too.

I have the Suzanne Woods Fisher one on my wish list. Neither my Hoopla or library have it…yet! Years ago I read and had a Tracie Peterson Medieval series. I have THE KNIGHTS BRIDE, a compellation with different authors had one of them and ALAS MY LOVE was the second story where two brothers are at odds over the death of their parents, one believes the other is guilty. In the first one the new wife convinces her husband to let his brother return so they can find the true killer. Alas My Love is the story after the brother returns. They were some of my favorites for a long time. IF ONLY I think is the first story in the three and it's about a woman who is a healer but they call her a witch and she is arrested and tried and not needs to be saved! So those sound like anything you are reading??? LOL!

Still working on all the same ones. Read more in the WROUGHT OF SAPPHIRE AND SEA.

The two stories that go with Alas My Love, which is probably A Kingdom Divided, are very good and suspenseful.

Read some more in DANIEL'S OIL which is the second book in the Sherriff Angus Reid series. So far it's very good, except their description of the corpse found in a barrel! Ick! Although the coroner (a lady) did make some funny remarks about I - perhaps as a way to cope with the ick factor!

Finished my missionary bio and don't have any more borrows on Hoopla so I am going to work on a book we got from the thrift store - ALL THE PARABLES IN THE BIBLE. We also found ALL THE WOMEN IN THE BIBLE. These are by Herbert Lockyear. These are like new condition too. I like this thrift store too, they give away Bibles, no matter the condition, no matter the type (leather, hardback, etc). We have quite a few so don't look through those. These books are often just $.25-$1.00. They hire guys and gals who have just gotten out of jail or are going through a drug program working to get clean. They also have a prayer time at the front of the store where all the employees gather and any patron who would like to.

Still working on my fantasy reads. I just got an ARC for a Goose Girl retell, part of a multi-author series called All That Glitters!

Neither my library nor my Hoopla have Capture the Moment - boohoo! I'll just keep waiting, Hoopla should have it soon.

I started an ARC last night by Lea Doue, THE GOLDEN GOOSE. It's really cute. I feel like a youngster staring up at the reading waiting for the next line.

I also started ADOPTED BY FAITH by Sarah Miller and Irene Glick. So far it's pretty good.

I had started a fantasy by an author I had just read, Christian fiction, but it had a cuss word in it - how disappointing.

Still working on COURTING DANGER by Laura Ashwood. It's similar to the others I've read in this genre so having trouble staying into it.

DANGER IN THE SHADOWS has some authors I really like so I borrowed it through KU. I thought it might be an anthology that I had pre-ordered, but that one is DON'T BLINK, I think it has 12 stories; it won't be out until Oct.

I finished DANIEL'S OIL by that author who has a different kind of name. It was pretty good but a little bit creepy. What bothers me most about these stories is how quickly the "Christians" in the story lie, become ugly angry, etc… They feel bad for a moment and then go on with their own plan rather than trusting God and doing what's right! If they had done what's right from the beginning they would have had a solution much sooner! I don't think I'll go on with this series. I do have one of the stories farther on and may read that one, we'll see.

I started the Devotions my Corrie Ten Boom. I listened through five of them, they were very good! Just simple devotions that spoke of living a godly life.

I read some more in my ARC read which is actually THE GOLDEN GOOSE. It's just a really fun story.

I am really enjoying the Corrie Ten Boom devotionals. I listen to four or five of them before getting into the fiction. I am almost finished with one of the fantasies RAPUNZEL'S GAMBIT by Mary Meachem; and my ARC read by Lea D'oue, GOLDEN GOOSE. I'm really enjoying this one too. I need to get back to a couple I set aside to get into the ARC read.

I am reading PEACE CHILD, wow! This is about a missionary couple going into head hunter country to share Christ with them, but they had no concept of who Christ was, let alone about His death and resurrection. The glory in evil and murder. When the missionary is ready to leave because he's brought warring tribes in close contact with each other and anger and dissention are growing and he just knew someone or many someone's were going to die. They begged him not to leave and held a Peace Child ceremony. Each tribe trades one of their children to be raised by the other tribe. He/she takes that tribes name and the parent who made the trade does the same - this says they are alike. This act in the book was so moving.

I also downloaded through Hoopla Elizabeth Elliot's book NO GRAVEN IMAGE. This is the only novel that she wrote. It's about a missionary woman in Peru. I'll start it tonight.

I'm reading three ARC books. One is out today, but it's hard for me to read because the Christians in it are so minimal it just makes me upset! One of the Christians works in a saloon offering drinks to people - arghhh! The main character has found the Lord and wants to go to the town that she really hurt in her godless life and make restitution, even if it will cost her her life. Everyone is telling her not to go, you could die! She is trying to obey God - leave her alone. He can take care of her! That's all in the first three of four chapters. I honestly don't think I can finish reading it, but I feel a bit guilty because I said I was willing to read it. I guess I could leave a review explaining why I can't finish. The other two are fantasies, very good.

We went to Mt. Rushmore on our way back from Colorado when I was 11. One of those places you never forget!
