I finished this book this evening. It was amazing!

Got my fourth Lynette Eason - (8/19/25)

good job!

My #1 was Joel C. Rosenberg
I chose and finished the next in his Jihad series:
A political thriller that took me almost all month to get through this one. I like the action and how fast-paced it was but slogged because this could be taken from our headlines today and maybe just tired of hearing this?? Maybe I wasn't in the mood but glad I stuck with and finished. Rosenberg's writing is good overall and a Christian theme of his characters comes through. After all...it is a Holy War.

love it!

My number 1 authors are:

New Author Katie Powner - I will be reading TBR
Revisit an Author Elizabeth Goddard - I have started

Ending August with one and a half books by Joel C. Rosenberg.

The Libyan Diversion by Joel C. Rosenberg
(08/10/25)

and may finish tonight, but probably tomorrow..
The Beijing Betrayal

nice!

Nothing read by my author of the month (Joanna Barker), but hope to get to one of her novels before the end of the year.

good plan!

I got four Lynette Eason books read, I'm sure I'll read more by the end of the year.

well done!
