But then I got into Here Burns My Candle by Liz Curtis Higgs, and before I finished it A Billion Reasons Why by Kristin Billerbeck was delivered. In other words, I've not started yet. <br /><br />However a quick re-read of CML will count, so I'll be off and running soon!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847510545827506148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-26331352910003348902011-02-03T21:21:15.469-07:002011-02-03T21:21:15.469-07:00Amanda,

There was a glimpse, however brief, of goodness in him and I have a feeling that will grow and my view will change by series end, like you said :) And Merrick was a SWOON kind of hero, so I'd love to read more about him ;)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />AmandaAmanda Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372107574684016349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-34692568500456708582011-02-03T11:33:37.734-07:002011-02-03T11:33:37.734-07:00Amanda,

And I can't help but be thrilled when Merrick comes to her rescue! ;)<br /><br />I hope you enjoy The Reliance and The Redemption, as well--both of them are wonderful!!! And I don't know if this will be giving anything away, but did you know that Kent plays a big part in both of them? I think you'll be surprised by how differently you feel about him by the end of the third book! :) <br /><br />Looking forward to you review! And happy re-reading to you, as well! ;)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-45697573499671552342011-02-03T09:10:43.839-07:002011-02-03T09:10:43.839-07:00I just finished The Redemption and it was fantasti...I just finished The Redemption and it was fantastic! Thanks for recommending it :) I'll admit I was a bit surprised at some of the content but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a fascinating, page-turner. But I think it was for the most part edginess with a purpose and not just edgy for edginess sake, so I'm sure I'll be reading the next 2 books in this series. Anyway, I'm trying to think up a review now that will hopefully explain what I mean better :)<br /><br />Happy re-reading, my friend!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />AmandaAmanda Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372107574684016349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-72356158470545054412011-02-02T19:01:02.648-07:002011-02-02T19:01:02.648-07:00Casey,

I think averaging 2 books a month is a great goal, and I'm hoping to try for that if I can (although I only re-read 1 book for January). ;)<br /><br />And I hope to re-read A Passion Most Pure this year, as well! Fabulous book! :D<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-73300911660657079722011-02-02T18:58:33.485-07:002011-02-02T18:58:33.485-07:00Julia,

I mean, I got frustrated often, but it was very well-written and engaging/thought-provoking. :)<br /><br />The series I'm hoping to re-read soon by Jane Kirkpatrick is the "Kinship & Courage" series about a group of women out on the Oregon Trail. I remember it was fascinating and wonderful to read it the first time, so I'm eager to re-read the three books, especially since we'll be talking about the Oregon Trail soon in my Lit of the American West class! :)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-6877522140536443892011-02-02T18:55:34.054-07:002011-02-02T18:55:34.054-07:00Beth,

I stopped by your blog and left you a comment on that post. <br /><br />And I really enjoyed reading Lori Wick's books in the past, as well, especially her "Rocky Mountain Memories" series (I think that's what it's called). :)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-46917720172097845912011-02-02T18:54:01.369-07:002011-02-02T18:54:01.369-07:00Renee Ann,

I figure I have to read 2 a month to make my challenge goal. :) <br /><br />I have read:<br /><br />Fools Rush in by Janice Thompson<br />A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman.<br /><br />SO good to revisit those stores. I'm working on a Janette Oke, T. Davis Bunn book right now. I think it's the third time I've read this one. I am really enjoying it. :)Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920406327885410557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-41991366946441362992011-02-02T06:38:26.147-07:002011-02-02T06:38:26.147-07:00I love Jane Eyre!!
