Top Ten Tuesday; Books That Changed My Mind

Happy Tuesday and welcome to Top Ten Tuesday sponsored by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today's topic is books out of my comfort zone that I enjoyed. My reading tastes are very eclectic and that's impart because I've tried books out of my comfort zone and I like them. And we all know that that means our to be read pile increases by leaps and bounds.


Fantasy and Sci-Fi are the two big genres, especially within Christian fiction has become some of my most favorite books to read.

I'm also not a huge fan of Christmas books, in general. For me they've always seemed like a Hallmark greeting card, too perfect. Chautona Havig's Christmas Embers gave me a story that had the feel good of Christmas with loads of real life.

Now, it's your turn. . . What books changed your mind? Let me know in the comments . . .

Debut or New to Me Authors - Favorite Reads of 2017

I tried to expand my reading horizons this year, and read new authors whether debut or ones I haven't read before. Some were great others not so much. I was surprised to have quite a few make my top reads for 2017.

My Reviews: 

The Ester Paradigm

The Outlaw's Second Chance

The Engagement Plot

Dragon Seed

Christmas Embers

A Season to Dance

If you've been following my top reads posts this week you've probably already seen these in another list. That's the hard part about choosing a favorite read for the year when you read so many books it's like choosing a favorite child. With that said, for the first time in eleven years of blogging I actually have a favorite read of the year. I will unveil that book on Monday, so keep watching for it. I may actually give out some hints between now and then.

Happy New Year!

Books That Will Take You On An Adventure 2017

Reading does take us somewhere when we have no place to go. Some books are adventurous from the time you open to the first page until you close the last. The world and characters keep you breathless, on the edge of your seat, and your mind trying to figure out what may happen next, which I seem to always be wrong about.
