Cheryl Olson (girlsmama) | 694 comments Oh I'm so, so, excited for this one as I was delighted by the members that helped me out with this one. 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 this 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! 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 December, I have a special treat for you- I have 2 members that I am squeezing into one post, so lots to choose from for December, here are your 10 books to choose from, as well as a few new releases-

1. An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz An Uncommon Woman byLaura Frantz

2. On Wings of Devotion (The Codebreakers, #2) by Roseanna M. White On Wings of Devotion by Roseanna M. White


3. The Land Beneath Us (Sunrise at Normandy, #3) by Sarah Sundin The Land Beneath Us by Sarah Sundin

4. An Appalachian Summer by Ann H. Gabhart An Appalachian Summer by Ann H. Gabhart

5. Colors of Truth (Carnton, #2) by Tamera Alexander Colors of Truth by Tamera Alexander

And the second members top 5-

2. An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz ( take note that's one of both member's favorite!)

I read four of these in 2021. :-)

All That Really Matters by Nicole Deese Is It Any Wonder (Nantucket Love Story #2) by Courtney Walsh Tidewater Bride by Laura Frantz The Secret Place by Camille Eide

I probably won't get to any additional ones this year.

My guess for one of the readers is Beth B. Camille Eide & Laura Frantz...yep, sounds like Beth.

Lauri Gentry | 442 comments I have An Appalachian Summer by Ann H. Gabhart and All That Really Matters by Nicole Deese sitting on my TBR shelf so maybe I will read those.

Tracey (bookgirl_71) | 12 comments An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz Tidewater Bride by Laura Frantz
I've wanted to read for awhile, so these will be my choice. I'm such a mood reader so we will see how it goes..

I typically only read Christmas books in December, but I'm going to break that tradition for this challenge, and read All That Really Matters by Nicole Deese . Nicole Deese was a new author to me this year, and I feel like this novel will be an excellent finish to my 'normal' reading for the year.🙂


message 8: by Brittany (new)

Brittany  | 546 comments Wonderful books! I have read so many of these! Great picks! Here are the ones I have read:
An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz Love and a Little White Lie (State of Grace, #1) by Tammy L. Gray Is It Any Wonder (Nantucket Love Story #2) by Courtney Walsh Let It Be Me (A Misty River Romance, #2) by Becky Wade Tidewater Bride by Laura Frantz

I probably won't be able to read any additional this December because I am trying to catch up in my review schedule, but if I happen to be able to fit one in, I will try for All That Really Matters by Nicole Deese .


message 9: by Missy (last edited Dec 01, 2021 06:18AM) (new)

Missy | 936 comments Lots of good books to choose from and on my TBR list. I have read The Tea Chest by Heidi Chiavaroli and enjoyed that one.

December is busy for me, mostly at work, but if I get a chance I may try to read An Uncommon Woman by Laura Frantz .


message 10: by Katrina (new)

Katrina Lybbert | 886 comments I may read An Appalachian Summer by Ann H. Gabhart and/or The Tea Chest by Heidi Chiavaroli . I have a lot of other books to finish reading and I love to read Christmas books in December. So if I don't get to them, I will read them in 2022 for sure. Great lists!

I've already read All That Really Matters, The Land Beneath Us, and On Wings of Devotion.

I'll try to squeeze in Everywhere to Hide by Siri Mitchell by Siri Mitchell. I'm curious to see how she handles the genre, as I've adored all the others I've read by her, but they were all historical.


message 12: by Loraine (new)

Loraine (librarydiva) | 4439 comments I have read a lot of these, but will skip this challenge as I am in month 2 of my Christmas reading binge. Thanks for a fun challenge Cheryl and to all the readers who gave you a favorite list.
