I was hoping to have a review ready to go this morning…. but man I was tired last night. I hope to get it up before I leave this afternoon for my girls weekend at our cabin. I am excited for the chance to get away with the girls and catch up!
This morning I wondered into a great little spot called Book Nook Club. While I was enjoying reading several of their posts, there was one that got me thinking. They have a great post on The First Born Series by Karen Kingsbury.
What got me thinking was that I have had two of her books on my book shelf for years. One Tuesday Morning and Beyond Tuesday Morning. A friend recommended them and I being the bookie that I am, purchased them…. and … uh… shelved them. A couple weeks ago I loaned them to a friend who asked if I had any Kingsbury. I did. They are brand new.
The post at Book Nook Club made me wonder if any of you have authors out there that you know are good… you may even have their book(s) but for one reason or another have just never made it to those books.
I know these books will be good. Just this morning while looking them up I discovered there is a third to this series, Every Now and Then.
So two questions really….
1) Is there an author out there that you have wanted to read but as of yet… have not?
2) Who has read Kingsbury? I know she has a lot of books out there.
I plan to post a review later today before I leave. I have posts scheduled for the weekend so please keep stopping back… there will be something new every day! 
Book Journey 
JR Ward. I have the first 3 of The Black Dagger Brotherhood series sitting on my shelves. They’ve been there 2+ years. I know I’ll love them just haven’t gotten around to them.
I’ve never heard of Kingsbury before today.
I’ve read a few of Karen Kingsbury’s and I really liked them! She includes the voice of God as sort of along with a stream of consciousness narration for each character, but it works.
Kingsbury is awesome, but be prepared to cry!!
I really want to look more at your blog, but I will need to save it for tomorrow. I MUST bake. I’m hosting brunch tomorrow. Yes, I’m insane. But it’s potluck…so not so bad.
Have fun at the cabin!
Mitch Albom. I’ve heard so much about him and I just haven’t tried anything by him yet. I do have three of his books in my TBR, so hopefully one day.
I must confess that I have read almost everything by Kingsbury, and I’m finding that her new stuff is not as great as her earlier books. I started out with her Redemption series with Gary Smalley, and those are the best by far.
1) Francine Rivers. Have heard rave reviews but I read more non-fiction than fiction, so I haven’t gotten to her books yet.
2) Just got through reading my first Kingsbury book, Redemption, this past week. LOVED IT. I’m on the second book in the series. Can’t believe I haven’t read her sooner! If someone didn’t give me the book, I might not have discovered her.
