Getting to Know You - Week Four

Me with James L. Rubart

I have a stack of books awaiting my review sitting on my shelf. Book reviews are something I've enjoyed doing for the past couple of years. Unfortunately, I've come to a point where reading has become more work than pure enjoyment. As a result, I'm going to finish up the stack of books I have to review and take time off from reviewing so I can read for pleasure again.

If I read a book that I feel absolutely needs a review (because it is so incredibly great), I will post one. My book review postings won't be as frequent as they have been. If you'd like to keep up with my thoughts on the books I read, I encourage you to visit my GoodReads profile. I will post about them there.

Me with Steven James

Since books are on my brain this week, I thought we could get to know what we love to read. So, what are your favorite types of books? Who are some of your favorite authors? Is there a book (or are there a few) that have become companions to your Bible?

 I love to read both fiction and non-fiction. In fiction, I love to read contemporary women's fiction and thrillers. My absolute favorite fiction author is James L. Rubart. My favorite non-fiction author is Mary DeMuth. Here is a list of some of my favorite books (they'd all make great Christmas gifts, by the way):
