Well, I won't lie...I was hoping for a few others to win tonight, too...namely Laura Frantz for Courting Morrow Little (review) and Melanie Dickerson for The Healer's Apprentice (review). I suppose when you get this far, though, it really is an honor just to be nominated.
But on the upside, I am so happy for Beth Wiseman, Terri Blackstock, and Melanie Dobson on their wins! Melanie came away with not one, but TWO awards tonight! I've only read one of her winning novels, and the other is patiently sitting in my TBR stack. Yep, eventually...it will see the light of day. :o) And I just have to say that Beth's speech tonight was so heartfelt that I about burst into tears...probably one of the highlights of the night.
I also want to give a huge shoutout to fellow blogger, Renee Ann Smith from Doorkeeper! I had no idea that she was a finalist in the Genesis Awards until I saw her name come across the screen. Congrats on your big win, Renee! :o)

Congrats to all the winners!
Thanks for posting this here. Popped over and read your great reviews as well. Love that an Amish book won. In fact werent there three Amish books in that category? Anyway -- have never read Blackstock but after reading your review of Predator,it's definitely going on my list.
ReplyDeleteKav,
ReplyDeleteI think you're right...there was one category that had nothing but Amish books in it.
And OMG, Terri's books are must reads for anyone that reads CF on a regular basis! She was one of the first authors that I started out reading, and to this day, there's not a single novel of hers that I haven't enjoyed. :o)
Terri Blackstock ROCKS the suspense!
