Who Touches the Mountains (The God Who series #1), book #33

 

After that last exhausting read, I was ready for something light and fun and sweet.  Our next Christian Fiction Reading Challege book is #3 in this series, so I decided to start with #1 in case I needed to know people, as we have seen in other books this year! 😉 This was a quick read and exactly hit the spot like a bite or two of ice cream after some really salty food.  I do feel, however, that I can skip #2 and head right into #3 before too long.  

Traveling all across the country is exciting…until it isn’t anymore.  Liesl Bachman enjoys success as a travel writer, but that success comes at a price. Now she feels isolated and stuck in a way she never expected in the “cool” job she always wanted. Zach Freylan is bound by an unspoken promise he made to his beloved wife before her death in a mysterious one-car crash. For two years, he’s run The Inn at Rosebud Lane that belonged to Jenny's grandparents, but he finds little joy in maintaining what was always her dream. From the moment Liesl checks in for an extended stay at the inn, something begins to shift inside Zach, letting him dare to hope that his life could be different. Liesl feels that same promise of hope, but the clock is ticking for them both as circumstances only grow more complicated. Is thirty-seven days enough to know for sure that this is God’s yes?

Interesting story about my school book club book.  As you know, I joined it not only to make new friends ✔and meet new people ✔ but also to read different types of books (see here and here and here 😮and here and here 😊and here 😥) ✔  I haven't always read the one they picked because some of them just don't interest me at all.  I only have about 10,547 books I want to read before I die so I don't want to waste my time reading one I'm probably not going to like.  I found the one we just read interesting, and I thought I would like the next one we picked out because it had to do with pioneers.  People in the reviews either loved it or hated it, so I was a little cautious.  There was a very long wait for it, since it is so popular, so I broke down and bought it, thinking I would like it.  But alas ..... it was really not doing anything for me, except making me feel icky inside.  So, for the first time in recorded history (I think ... ) I literally just quit the book.  I've been close to it before, but I kept reading to see if the characters would pull themselves up.  Sometimes they did, sometimes they didn't.  But there are a lot of books I want to read really fast right now (to get back to my America 250 Book Bingo!) and I just didn't see myself finishing the book.  So there's a first.

I've got two I want to read in the next week ~ and then it will be time to start Christmas books!!

If my book is open, your mouth should be closed.

O:)
