I had fun looking for books for this month. I plan to pick mine from the following list:
The Golden Braid (Hagenheim, #6) by Melanie Dickerson
The Berenstain Bears Sister Bear and the Golden Rule Level 1 by Stan Berenstain
Bake Until Golden (Potluck Catering Club #3) by Linda Evans Shepherd
A Glitter of Gold (Georgia Coast Romance #2) by Liz Johnson
and of course our group buddy read The Gold in These Hills by Joanne Bischof

I had originally planned to read Gold of Kings (Storm Syrrell #1) by Davis Bunn but will be saving it for my male author in April.

Lynnette  | 662 comments I’m in for:
1-3 Gold Touch
Candle in the Darkness by Lynn Austin The Land of the Blind (Kinsman Book 4) by Joyce Swann


message 13: by Karen (new)

Karen | 1327 comments My pleasure, Staci. I forgot a few others I found: Rivers of Gold (Yukon Quest, #3) by Tracie Peterson and Like Gold Refined (A Prairie Legacy, # 4) by Janette Oke .

Also forgot two others I hope to read: A Pot O' Gold A Treasury of Irish Stories, Poetry, Folklore, and (of course) Blarney by Kathleen Krull and Empire of Gold (Nina Wilde & Eddie Chase, #7) by Andy McDermott . I am not familiar with either of these authors. The first is labeled as general juvenile fiction (I was looking for some limericks) and the second is general adventure/suspense fiction with a woman archaeologist.
