Does Georgia Brides by Paige Winship Dooly work?

Yes, it does Natalie!

@Diane: Ok. Thanks.

How do I go about finding these books in the database? I've never heard of them and when I look up "Romancing America" in the search engine, I don't get anything...

Here they are Brittany and anyone else interested.

I also think there are more than that but that is all the search engine is giving. Barbour Publishers is who publishes them.

This is a blog just dedicated to these books

Thanks, Lorie!

Thanks Lorie! I did not even think about adding that to the post. I appreciate your efforts!

Here's a list from Christianbooks:

I have about three I have been debating! lol

I guess I am going to settle on:

The Midwife's Legacy

by: Rhonda Gibson, Pamela Griffin, Jane Kirkpatrick and Trish Perry

I'm going to nominate Tennessee Brides by Diane T. Ashley

I only own a couple of these books, so I'm going to go with Highland Crossings :)

My nomination is Rainbow's End by Valerie Comer

@Kate - The book you nominated is not from the Romancing America series. Please make another selection. If you are unsure of what books are within this series, please see the links in post 6, 7 and 9.

@ Diane: Are you sure Rainbow's End is not a Romancing America Book? It says it right on the cover?

I also found this list of them on Goodreads:

The list I had of Romancing America books included this one (and it's the list on GoodReads itself) . . . if you would like me to change my nomination based on one of the other lists of Romancing America books that was posted, please do let me know. :)

@Lorie - The link she originally had was a Love Inspired book, not what is listed now.

Ok I was just trying to figure out why it was not one. The link took me to the Romancing America one.

I never changed my link, so I'm not exactly sure what happened? *feeling a little discouraged*

Maybe it was me. When I went to add the book to the list, the first book with that title was a Love Inpisred book by a different author. My bad! Sorry! :(

Tomorrow is the last day to nominate a book!

I will nominate The Quakers of New Garden.

And next month's group read will be...

#6 The Quakers of New Garden!

Thanks for nominating it, Melissa. I've had this one on my Kindle for a while, so hopefully I'll be able to join in :)

I'm excited, this is the first time a book I've nominated has won. :)

I read this awhile back and really enjoyed it!

@Diane U: What state is this? I have a decent amount still left for the fifty states challenge.

I just checked the book description, comments have it listed in Indiana. Hope this helps!

@Victoria: Thanks.
