Recent Favorites

I've enjoyed the past several weeks of travel and relaxation. Classroom planning and activities gobble up so much of a teacher's time...no time to read, unless it's a professional book! Sooo... I made time to read in July. Here's a list of my favorites!

A Wedding Transpires   by Cara Putman
Song of My Heart           by Kim Vogel Sawyer
Beyond Molasses Creek by Nicole Seitz
The Accidental Bride     by Denise Hunter
Blue Moon Bay              by Lisa Wingate
Sixty Acres and a Bride by Regina Jennings
Wonderland Creek         by Lynn Austin

I absolutely loved Lynn Austin's book! Wonderfully penned story with the perfect mix of mystery and romance. I so admire authors who can successfully write in first person.

I always enjoy Kim Sawyer's books. Perhaps it's because she thinks like I do...well, she WAS a teacher in her former life :).

Putman and Wingate's books are among the few contemporary stories I've enjoyed. I slave at writing contemporaries. Like 'em, but I truly enjoy historicals.

What are your recent favorites?
