Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

Welcome to this month's Hidden Gems challenge!

Hidden Gems is a fantastic way to plow through those mountains of books claiming space in your house or e-reader. I have found that this challenge produces some fun group interaction as well, because someone else chooses which book you’ll read next.

If you sign up, you'll be matched up with a Hidden Gems partner. You will choose a book from the list your partner designates which you have already read and cannot believe your partner hasn’t read yet. Your partner will do the same for you with the list you designate. The point is to find that “Hidden Gem” that you think they’ll love… because you adored it when you read it!

Let us know which books you choose for each other. When you finish reading your gem, let us know what you thought about it. Perhaps your Hidden Gem might find its way to someone else’s wish list!

Match-ups will be created on the 10th of the month. Please choose books for each other by the 13th.

Sign up by telling us which list you’d like your partner to choose from.

Happy reading, friends!

Thanks, Jenn! It was a difficult choice to be sure, because all 4 look so good, but I've chosen to read A Most Noble Heir for my hg choice this month.
My picks for you: Rebellious Heart , A Brush with Love: A January Wedding Story , When Twilight Breaks , The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom .
Happy Reading!😊

Thank you, Sarita! I wanted to participate this month, but deadlines are looming on a few things, so I knew I had to get creative. I didn't figure out how until tonight. :) Those books all look good. Not sure which of the three I'll get to first, but I'm guessing it'll be Wishing Season, because it's probably got the soonest due date.

Karen selected for me:



I picked for Karen:
