You See Dry Bones

What was the last good one you read?

I am a Book Review Blogger for Thomas Nelson. This means I get to read books so I can review them for Thomas Nelson. How did this all start?

First off, I was sent a Max Lucado book in exchange for the review. Then I sent an email asking one of the representatives of Thomas Nelson if I could review a work of fiction coming out later that month, they obliged and sent me a “galley.” I was stoked. I  found out Thomas Nelson had a program where I would not have to beg and plead for books. I could just sign up and have them send me books as I requested them.

So far, the books have been average or below.

I have received three books (one I have not yet started) and two of them have just been average. Ok, one was average, the other below average. I finally got my hands on a copy The Shack and so far I feel it is The D’Vinci Code for Christians; mediocre.

This got me thinking about all the books waiting for me to read them. The ones I bought over the winter and spring that I picked out. I hope to throw one or two of those in the mix soon (once the house remodeling stuff is done) so I can be assured of a decent read. If you want to know the truth, I have had a work of fiction (Sinner by Ted Decker) sitting on my nightstand waiting to be read since Christmas.

I hope my next book is a good one.

I hope the next one I am reading for Thomas Nelson is good and refreshing. It is actually an annotated Bible. After that, I am going to pick up some Ravi Z.

I think I will save Decker for a hot summer day.
