You really read across the spectrum and your commentary on each of these books really shines. It's no secret your reviews are among my very favorites. If authors had TOP TEN READER lists, you know where you'd be:)<br /><br />And I have to give a HUGE shout out to your Etsy shop. I wore the beautiful jewelry you made on my travels recently so felt I took you with me - and rec'd many compliments! Thanks for giving of your time and talents to so many. <br /><br />In Him,<br />LauraLaura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744012819468372038.post-52081747400965102022012-12-31T19:49:12.353-06:002012-12-31T19:49:12.353-06:00Thanks for the list.

Laura Frantz has been on my "must read" list for a long time, but for some reason, I haven't picked one of her books up yet. I think her books are right up my alley; it is wonderful to find a book you can't tear yourself away from, that you're thinking about when you aren't able to read it, but when you like a story that much, you're so invested in the characters-- there is such a big <i>commitment.</i> Odd though that statement may be, I think it's true. It always takes me a week or so to "get over" a truly good book, and I think that's one reason I'm waiting on Frantz. Just coming off a high from reading The Doctor's Lady in two days, which is pretty good for me. A new favorite book and maybe even author for me.<br /><br />P.S., I found Southern Sassy Things a week or so ago and love it. The blog runs slow on my pc, though... not sure why.<br /><br />Looking forward to what you have in store for 2013. Happy New Year.<br /><br />Whitney Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14319496269535047263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744012819468372038.post-20900217022741572832012-12-31T17:30:18.640-06:002012-12-31T17:30:18.640-06:00Thanks for the great list.

My tastes are very easy-to-please so sometimes I think my picks are a bit pathetic in comparison to all of you book blogger greats. LOL! Cannot believe I didn't have Jenny and Becky's on mine!
