Christian Indie Black Friday Sale 2016

It's past midnight and I'm WAY past tired, because it's been a LONG day, but I'm gonna get a post out, so get a post out I shall.




Like most other bookworms, great books make their way onto my "things I'm thankful for" list every year. It's hard to choose favorites (especially since this hasn't been a great reading year for me, and most of what I have read has been popcorn or review copies), but I went ahead and picked five books I read in 2016 and am thankful for.

1. Crannig Castle by Morgan Elizabeth Huneke. The final book of the Time Captives Trilogy. It made me sad. I also was a beta reader for the story, and she sent it to me when I was having a bad day, and getting to read that story completely changed it around (even though the story was sad). So thank you, Morgan. You're amazing.
2. Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain by Richard Roberts. This book is one of the reasons that I chose to write ROCKS for NaNo this year. (One of the other reasons is that you guys voted for it). It's an interesting take on the superhero genre, and I quite enjoyed the worldbuilding.
3. Yorien's Hand by Jenelle Schmidt. Because my ship sailed. Yay! (Actually, it flew on Dragonback, but why squabble over details)
4. Song of the Sword by Hope Ann. One of the best Rapunzel retellings that I've ever read. I'm not sure that it tops Rapunzel's Revenge, but it's close. Very close.
5. Lady Dragon, Tela Du. Yes, it's my own book, but I'm thankful for it. Without this story, I wouldn't be the author that I am today, and this story has been with me through some of the most difficult chapters of my life. Also, I'm just thankful that it's finally done, and published, and DONE.

I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to another great year of reading!

I tell you waht, this sale almost didn't happen this year, since Leah was going to let it slide until I mentioned something on facebook, she realized that the site could be brought back to life with very little effort, and I volunteered to help with the organization. I've gone almost crazy pulling it together. I've been drinking coffee. COFFEE. I don't like coffee. And I've been drinking it.
