SummerTime Beach Book Ideas

One of the favorite summer pass times for readers is finding and reading the perfect book on a beach.

Sitting under a sun umbrella with a coating of sun tan lotion, readers turn pages to the beat of waves rippling on the shore. What could be more peaceful?

There are so many stories available, how can we choose?

Here is a fantastic resource:

The Grace Awards website features noteable books throughout the year.

This week, board members for the site are hosting a Fiction Spotlight called Summer Book Bash 2019. They selected twelve books designed specifically for readers such as you. Any of these stories are perfect for taking to your favorite relaxation place.

Photos of the books, links, and blurbs tell why these books are the perfect choice for a beach towel on the sand read. Best news of all: the featured books are on sale, most at only $0.99!

I saw most genres represented in the list.

I'm leaning toward the mystery ones: A Dangerous Deception, Roadkill, or Courting Danger to start. Let's see. If I read one book a week and there are twelve books. I think I could read them all before Autumn.

Please note, some of the books are on sale this week only while the others remain on sale for the summer. So you might want to go ahead and get your copy, make a TBR (to be read) pile, then choose a book to read first.

Here is the link: Grace Awards Summer Book Bash 2019

This link will open in a separate window. SO after you look at the list write in the comment section below which book captured your interest.

And...if you have read any of these books, let us know!!

Fabulous Friday Feature-Candace Calvert

Today we welcome author: Candace Calvert To win a copy of Candace's new release: By Your Side Scroll to the end of the post to see how to get your copy. Mary Vee here. One of my absolute favorite classes at ACFW this last year was the medical fiction class. That wasn't the real title, I can't remember what snazzy name the instructors gave it--BUT three stellar medical professionals, who are also Christian Fiction writers, presented great information then opened the time for questions. We students asked them all kinds of questions like what kind of poison would kill a ..., and tons of other questions. It was sooooo much fun, and informative. I asked Candace, who was one of those fabulous teachers, to join us and share how God has led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said: God Gave Me a Wake-up Fall The story won’t surprise folks who hav...

One many of us can relate to. Her post below shows her strength and positive spirit. I'm so happy Andrea is visiting with us today. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee and come chat with Andrea. I asked Andrea to tell us how God led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said: Romance Done Write I didn’t read much while growing up in my family’s suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin home. I read what I was assigned for school, along with an occasional children’s novel like Pippi Longstocking and Little House in the Big Woods . When I was in fourth grade, I wrote my first novel, Little Miss Mouse . My mother kept it all these years and it’s now in my possession. I laugh when I read those ten handwritten pages. At the tim...

Today I welcome a well-known authoress, one with a bubbly, energetic personality and has become a sweet friend: Julie Lessman . Enter to win an autographed copy of one of Julie's books! see below I met Julie through ACFW. She taught the first class I attended at ACFW. Her husband graciously showed, enduring Julie's stories. She taught how to write Christian Romance. We laughed and learned so much that night. I asked her to share her writing journey with us. Here is what she wrote: My Journey As a Christian Romance Writer … My journey as a romance author actually came LONG before my journey with God. It happened the moment I read Gone With the Wind at the age of twelve. The instant that Scarlett seared Rhett with a look on the winding staircase of Twelve Oaks, I was hooked, and my “romance-writing career” began with a 150-page, single-spaced ms. ent...
