Ah, yes - I think I do spent quite a bit of time in fictional worlds, LOL!

That's an awesome list there, Amber! Some of my favorites are:
Everthing by Laura Frantz and Julie Lessman.
The Rose Legacy series by Kristen Heitzmann (one of the first series I read when I started reading Christian fiction -- amazing!! I would definitely re-read these!)
Beneath a Southern Sky by Deborah Raney
Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers
The Inheritance by Tamera Alexander
So many awesome books out there! :)
The series by Kristen Heitzmann is actually the Diamond of the Rockies series. The first book in the series is called The Rose Legacy. The second book is Sweet Boundless, and the third is The Tender Vine. :)
Michelle,
Thank you! :) And thank you for sharing some of your favorites, as well!
I went on a bit of a Kindle-book-shopping-spree last night, and I ended up buying The Rose Legacy. :) I appreciate the recommendation! And I also bought By the Light of the Silvery Moon - I've been interested in reading it, and your glowing review helped convince me that it's worth the price. :)

You're welcome, Amber!
I hope you enjoy the books as much as I did! : )
Awww...thank you for passing it on to me! :)
The ones on your list that I have read are on my favorites list, too. Most of the others I want to read, though.
Bluerose,
You're welcome! :) There are some fabulous books out there! I hope you get to read the rest of the books on this list, then - I really enjoyed them. :)
