{joy} shades of blue

If you know me at all, you know that I adore Karen Kingsbury and ALL of her books. She came out with a new one in the fall that I had been anticipating for months. I had to wait until Christmas so my mom could put it in my stocking (side note: my mom and dad do THE best christmas stockings...I mean wow....they always packs them full of amazingness). Let me say, it was worth the wait because my dad pulled some strings and got me a personalize autographed copy of her newest book! I was going to spare you this amazing photo of me (sans makeup obviously) with my fancy new book, but I am just so proud of it that I had to show you. It reads "Joy, love to my friend. - Karen". I mean we are practically best friends right?! I was also going through my parents basket of Christmas cards and found this beauty....along with a delicious box of cookies that she sent to my dad. I squealed at the note and my husband loved the cookies, so thank you Karen for making our Christmas just a bit brighter.

Shades of Blue was a great book, as always. I literally started and finished the book within a four hour timeframe. But....now I am itching for more good books. I am up to date on all of my bff Karen's books and need some new suggestions of what I can read. I love me some christian romance books but would love to hear suggestions of ANY sort of book. Books about life, love, business, friendship, or romance. Got any good books to tell me about? Leave a comment and let me know which books I should pick up next. My plan is to read as many books as I possibly can this year, I would love to start with some of your favorites.
