Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

Oh I'm so, so, excited for this one as I was delighted by the members that helped me out with it. Every month you will be given 5 titles from which to choose from. These are 5 of the top reads from some of your fellow members for last year. These are some great books and I'm excited for you to see your choices every month. Also included will be a few recommendations for upcoming new releases! If by chance you have read all 5 choices, you can choose to read one of the new releases ---->WHEN it is available! (some aren't out yet), or you can peruse the list of some of the other favorites from some of your members from previous months at this link- https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


Also, if you would like to "reveal" to the group if this is your list, then feel free to do so, but you don't have to!

Honestly, I think one of my favorite parts of the group is sharing our love of reading and reading new books based on each other's recommendations, so I thought to myself, why not create a challenge featuring my favorite aspect of the group? And so for June, here are your 5 books to choose from, as well as 6 new releases!


1. To Dwell Among Cedars by Connilyn Cossette


2. The Tea Chest by Heidi Chiavaroli


3. An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz

4. Start With Me by Kara Isaac


5. The Water Keeper by Charles Martin

And this member had 6 most anticipated new releases for us!

They are-

1. Crossed Lines by Jennifer Delamere

2. In a Far-Off Land by Stephanie Landsem

3. Is It Any Wonder by Courtney Walsh

4. The Orchard House by Heidi Chiavaroli

5. Shadows of the White City by Jocelyn Green

6. Tidewater Bride by Laura Frantz


Once again, this member has done a fantastic job and brought some great titles to the table- hope you find something excellent to read! Blessings!

I’ll see if I can get to

I am going to go with .

Great suggestions!

Almost looks like a list Staci would have made :-)

There is a few options on this list. Will post what I've read once I decided what mood I'm in this month :-)

I will join with

The only two on my TBR are and , so I'll see which one of those I get to.

Sarita, all those suspense novels have heightened your detective skills! You are correct! This is my list.

Of my most anticipated reads, I have two that I haven't read yet and one of those is already available. I'll shoot for reading Is It Any Wonder this month.

Ooh, Staci . . . this is a good list . . . and a lot actually weren't on my radar yet! 🙂
I'm going to go with .

Great list Staci! I have read 3 of the first list and 3 of the new releases. I will pick for my read as I keep hearing about Charles Martin and have not read any of his books.

I have already read two of the titles and since I already own two of the titles I will read either or

Oh Loraine they are soooo good. They make me cry, but they are good. This one takes on a difficult situation, but he handles it well. I am waiting on the 2nd one through work.

Hope you love it Hannah. I've enjoyed all of her novels.

Katrina wrote: "I am going to go with .

Great suggestions!"

Enjoy Katrina! It has quite a bit of action in it/fast paced.

Katherine wrote: "I will join with "

Enjoy Katherine! I felt the setting was superbly described in the pages.

Andrea wrote: "The only two on my TBR are and , so I'll see which one of those I get to."

Enjoy Andrea! Both wonderful. In a Far Off Land depicts some of the lack of morality of the time.

Kate, I'm happy to add to your TBR. :-)

Love that you had that thought Brittany! Hope you enjoy Is It Any Wonder. I loved the first in the series.

Awesome reading ahead Loraine! I've only had one Martin novel that I didn't love. The Water Keeper is pretty different than his other novels (at least the ones I've read). The Water Keeper is more suspenseful than the others.

Enjoy whichever you choose Lauri!

I have read and . I have a pretty ambitious June planned, but if I can I have downloaded to read this month.

Too funny, I also saw the list and thought it may be yours, Staci! What a great list!! I am in the middle of , and though it is a little slow, I am enjoying it. I am looking forward to reading .

Hope you enjoy this time slip novel Missy. I learned a lot about Louisa May Alcott in the pages.

Sounds like my reading style is easy to spot. :-)

I found An Uncommon Woman to be stronger than Tidewater Bride, but enjoyed both.

I just finished and have one big, HUGE problem with it . . . it ENDED! Seriously, one of my favourite books this year, Staci!😊

I read and WOW!! I loved this story so much. Like Kate, I didn't want it to end either.

I've read and liked

Kate and Brittany, so glad you loved Is it Any Wonder!! It's one I have on my physical bookshelf and sadly haven't read yet.

Sarita, glad you enjoyed The Orchard Place. It's not my favorite of hers, but all of her novels have been good.

Also didn't find it as strong as The Tea Chest.
