Londa (londalocs) | 1526 comments I call myself a BIG fan, but I have only read 5.

Next month's group read will help me fix that :o)

Of the two I've read (Loving Donovan and Sugar), Sugar is my favorite.

Londa (londalocs) | 1526 comments I just noticed that Keeper of the Keys is a short story, not a novel. I will take it off the list above.

So, I am closer to goal than I thought. :D

Kanita Carington-McDonald (kanitacaringtonmcdonald) | 142 comments I am all over this challenge! Thanks for setting this up! She is one of my absolute favorite authors. I've not read everything she's written (yet) BUT I have enjoyed everything I've read by her thus far! :)

Narrow it down to a favorite! Oh my!!! This is extremely hard for me but...so far...Sugar and its sequel This Bitter Earth and, of course, Gathering of Waters.

Definitely Sugar. I think it was by far her most interesting and her best storytelling.

Well even though I didnt like the last couple of books she wrote I'm still a fan so I'll be checking for her next one.

Londa (londalocs) | 1526 comments Listen up all you McFadden fans!

The Book of Harlan will be out in 2015!

Here is her blog post about it

http://firstborngirl.blogspot.com/201...

She says it's her longest book yet. Maybe I won't have to complain about wanting MORE this time.

I have to say I haven't been impressed with her books past Sugar. But I'm definitely gonna give it a chance.

I also have not been impressed with her last three books - so this book is not on my must read list at this time.


Phyllis | Mocha Drop (mochadrop) | 35 comments I have read them all...and like others have noted, I've disappointed in the latest releases.

I think the wait is almost over.

The Book of Harlan has an actual pub date, cover, being promoted etc.

It is about 400 pages.

She says it..."

Londa (londalocs) | 1526 comments I edited this challenge to add The Book of Harlan

I am 8 for 10.

Still need to read The Warmest December and Nowhere Is a Place


Dosha (Bluestocking7) Beard (bluestocking7) | 4376 comments my first McFadden was Book of Harlan, now I have also read Sugar and This Bitter Earth. I don't know what to read next. Any suggestions? I have no idea how this author never made it into my radar.


message 24: by Londa (new)

Londa (londalocs) | 1526 comments If you want a more contemporary story read ...

Loving Donovan or Camilla's Roses

If you want a historical trip read....

Gathering of Waters or Glorious


Dosha (Bluestocking7) Beard (bluestocking7) | 4376 comments thank you Londa. I don't understand why I am just seeing this message two days later. I will go contemporary.
