Saturday Christian Fiction Carnival!
Okay! Here's this week's question:Why do you read and review Christian fiction? Do you exclusively read Christian fiction or do you also read general market books?
What a great question Amy! I actually read both. I read and review Christian fiction because I am a Christian and that is where my heart and soul is and where I feel most at home reading. I created my blog actually before I started reviewing Christian fiction, and thanks goes to Deborah >books, movies, and chinesefood< who told me about CFBA I am now reading and reviewing Christian fiction. My Mom gave me my first set of Christian fiction, she brought it back from a women's retreat, I was probably 13. It was Janette Oke's Love Comes Softley series. I still have that series today.

It is so cool that you still have that set from your mom. I hate to say that I have not read Janet Oke yet, but she is on my wish list for Christmas! :)
good post. I got back into reading thanks to Janette Okes Canadian West Series
I have never read the Janet Oak series though I have watched the movies..am I missing out of some great reads? :)
I love Janette Oke! I was an only child, and every night before bed my parents and I took turns reading from family books - they tended to be Christian Fiction, and many were by Janette Oke!
I just got my post up here: http://wendisbookcorner.blogspot.com/2008/10/saturday-christian-fiction-carnival.html
Have a great weekend! ~ Wendi
I love the Love Comes Softly series, too - it's fairly simply written (easy to read) but still you care so much about everyone!
I enjoyed the movies, too - well actually the first two... after they changed who played Missy I felt cheated. lol Plus she was a little too upbeat for me, it drove me crazy! But the last couple have been good (the ones focusing on Belinda). Have you seen any of them yet?
I love to read also...just getting lost in a book is the best feeling in the world.
Oh yes, I remember reading Janette Oke, too!
I thought I was the only one who has not read Janet Oke!
I haven't read Jannette Oke yet, but have a few on the shelf..waiting.
I'd like to invite you to participate in the first Christian Book Carnival tomorrow! Please come by my blog for details :) http://quiverfullfamily.com. It's a weekly event in case you miss this time around :)
