**Revised for the FINAL time---I Promise!!**I'm so excited! I absolutely love reading, and I love sharing about books, so this is right up my alley!! Without further ado, here's my Spring Reading Thing book list:

But I already feel like a hog...so I'll stop with this list.
One addition I cannot forget (but added later on, much to my chagrin), is the Most Important Book of all--God's Holy Word. We are doing a study of Hosea that has captured my heart, and I am attempting once again to read through this lively book this year.Every once in awhile I'll repost my list with the novels and books marked off that I've finished...and don't worry...I'm planning on reviewing everything on my list.
So, I'm off to add myself to Mr. Linky at Callapidder Day's...follow me on over by clicking the picture at the top of this post.
Happy Reading!

Wow, what a list - you are definitely a reader!!! I love this part of the challenge, seeing everyone else's picks!! Enjoy your reading.
Great - and long - list! I love it! Germ looks good, and I've been thinking about it too. I recently read Head Game -- love Tim Downs (especially the bug man books)! And as you already know, we'll be both be reading Key Lime Pie Murder and Me, Myself, and Bob this spring. :) Lots of crossover between us! Thanks for being part of the challenge!
The Art of Standing Still is on my list, too, and Me, Myself and Bob is on my Amazon.com wishlist. Enjoy reading!

RE: Linda Nichols, "The Search for Eden" was my first novel from her, and it didn't seem hard to get into - but I just read "Not a Sparrow Falls", and that did feel a bit hard to get going. I have Scent of Water on my list per your recommendation. Thanks for doing your list, too!
Whoa! I'm a lightweight compared to you! You go, girl!

Oh, more interesting titles to consider!
WOW. Now THAT's a LIST! I like cozies too. My favorites are the Robin Paige (Susan Wittig Albert's pen name) Victorian Mystery series. Kate and Charles Sheridan. I like Joanne Fluke too.
The good thing with these challenges is that I'm meeting new people! I see the problem with these challenges is that now I'm checking out all the lists....and adding WAY too many to my TBR!! If you haven't read any Jodi Picoult, I HIGHLY recommend her. Thanks for stopping by!
That's some list! I'd love to read Me Myself and Bob, areound here we love Veggie Tales!
Looks great. You have a lot of work ahead of you but one book at a time. Happy Reading.
Wow, you are a reader aren't you! That is some list. I will have to pilfer from you. Since having kids I haven't had time to read much and I stick mostly to my old favorites and a few safe titles. I haven't heard of most of these, but really want to check them out. Happy Spring and Happy Reading.
Goody, goody, lots of new authors to read! A friend just recommended Kristen Heitzmann. I will be looking forward to more of your book reveiws!
You have a nice long list! I am a big Braun fan. And that Vischer book sounds wonderful! I love Veggie Tales. (and I don't even have kids yet!)
Wow, Deena, what a list! I am excited to have found your blog and look forward to checking out some new authors. Sometimes I get in a rut and need reading input.
Me, Myself & Bob is a great book. I actually had read Phil Vischer's blog about the rise & fall of Veggie Tales. Then I had patiently wait for the book to arrive. His new project, Jellyfish dot com is pretty cool too. Phil's just one creative guy.
Thanks for coming by my laundry pile and looking at my list. I love yours! I haven't read a good cozy mystery in a very long time and I love them so much. Of course, I've been very busy with other endeavors. *L* I think I'll drool over your books and take many notes and make more lists and read to see what I can do to stop whining. Oh - wait. That was for me to learn how to get the kids from whining. *L*
Bleach Free Blessings!
Wow your list looks amazing, and long like mine! ;) I'll be looking forward to your reviews on a bunch of these books. I'll probably have to add some to my Fall reading list! Good luck & have fun reading! =)
I've looked at those books by James Scott Bell also. I'll have to add them. You've got quite the list! Happy reading!
I'm so glad I found your blog! I love Christian fiction as well and it is so hard to find many people reviewing it. I also am a big fan of Colleen Coble and Kathy Herman, so I will look forward to reading your reviews and perusing your blog more!
What a list! Looks like you are going to be busy reading! Have fun!
Whoohoo girl! You can GO, good for you with your big long list. I bet you have a library that is out of this world...I haven't heard of any of your books except the Key Lime Murder one...look forward to reading what you think about each! Have fun!!
Wow, what a list! Lots of new ones for me to check out sometime. Thanks for letting me know about your review of the Livinston book...I just happened to pick up a paperback by her that I have on my list and knew nothing about her.
I'll have to check out more of your reviews later!
i'm not familiar with most of the books or authors on your list, although i do enjoy Joanne Fluke. i'll definitely be back to read your reviews - and also peruse the rest of your blog!
happy reading!
Hi,
Thanks for stopping by, and happy reading!
Thanks for visiting my blog. You have quite a list there!
I have "Germ" "The Art of Standing Still" and "Head Games" on my TBR list but with all of the challenges I have committed to I am not sure I will get to them any time soon! I look forward to reading your reviews.
Do you really read that much?? That's great. I'm "proud" of myself that I'm up to a couple of books (in different genres) a month, maybe more. . . .
Wishing on Dandelions was somewhat easier to read than the first one. Not as sad.
How cool is that - I've got Nichols' At the Scent of Water on my Spring list! I really liked Tim Downs' Shoo Fly Pie and Chop Shop books. Plague Maker wasn't as good as those 2 but still good. And that book Germ is on my wishlist! Oh and I like Randy Singer too. I have a couple by him yet to read.
Hey Deena! Thanks for visiting my blog. You have a super list of books to read. Many of the authors are new to me; I'll have to hop over to Barnes and Noble and check them out (except I can't buy any books until the challenge is over). If you liked Anne George's books, you would really enjoy the Miss Julia series. I also have enjoyed the cozy mysteries by Carol Anne O'Marie. She's a nun and the central character is this little elderly nun. The ones I've read so far are set around San Francisco.
Happy Reading!
What an ambitious list!! They all look good too.
Read on!
I', thinkin you like mysteries. If you are studying Hosea Francine Rivers--love her--has a book based on Hosea. Redeeming Love I have not met anyone who has read it and not raved about it. And how do you do so much reading. I have to tell myself no or I neglect my bible studies house work life. I do love to read. Every once in a while I allow myself something that is not study stuff. It can be quite addictive. Kinda of like this blogging thing. i might have to set some limits for myself real soon.
Wow! What a list! Good luck! You sure know how to set a challenge for yourself!
Neat list. I've got a few cozies on mine, too. Can't wait to curl up with them.
Wow, I'll be back to ad some to my master list. What a great list...so many I have not heard of. Happy Reading!
This is some list to accomplish in 3 months. Then there is the fact that the challenge started last week and you have so many books crossed off already. I am so impressed! Keep on reading, woman!
Thanks bunches for stopping by and looking at my reading list. Of course, my brother dropped off a bunch of books at my house tonight, so I may have to add nonfiction. I was so trying to read those books that have been on my bookshelves for way too long!
Thank you for recommending bookprice.com. I love to read but am a budget. I am a college student working on my masters degree. :) Brittanie
Very cool list.
I just got DSL and am visiting all my FIRST members. So glad you're on board!
Oooh--you've done really well!!
I think I have finally found someone who reads more than me! What a great list! I look forward to coming back and reading your reviews! You go girl!
And talking books over coffee sounds like a day in heaven to me!
yay i finished my list too! i read WAYYYY more than what i had put down too lol
Wow, I can't believe you got through so many books. Are you a speed reader? Wow.
well done, deena! i only got a bit more than half way through my list - but i still read some great book and had a lot of fun!
