  1. I'll have to say that I tend to be way behind and most of my fiction reading is audiobook. Nor do I limit myself to Christian fiction, as I prefer mysteries overall. My TBR pile is frightening --just like yours!
    SERIOUS reviewers can look at a list of what they've read. I just have to try and remember. Those that come to mind are: The Lady and the Lionheart by Joanne Bischof, Take a Chance on Me by Susan Mae Warren, The Innkeeper's Daughter by Michele Griep, Carnegie's Maid by Marie Benedict, Lady Maybe by Julie Klassen, the Traitor's wife by Allison Pataki.
    I've enjoyed far too many mysteries on my way to and from work each day to ever recall but I continue to enjoy Anne Perry, Louise Penny, Deanna Rayburn, and listened to a lot of westerns this past year.
    Who knows what's coming in 2019 but I'm way behind on Laura Frantz (I read those to reward myself for completing a novel) and I need to catch up on the Mayflower Brides as I've only read one!

    You'll notice that many of the books on the reviewer's lists are on more than one. That should be a good recommendation, don't you think?
