BP Hiatus


By Katie Marie
Hello everyone! Just wanted to hop on here really quick and let you know that, due to unforeseen circumstances in both Kait's and my life, we are going to take a break from posting on Book Ponderings. Not sure how long the hiatus will be, but hope you'll stick around for when we return

In the meantime, feel free to check out our own personal book blogs below. I'll still be posting there regularly. Hope to see you there! :-)

What's Up


By Unknown
Hello readers! Some of you may have been checking our blog, looking for today's post. You may have been doing that a lot lately. lol. I, Kait, have finally returned from my week long vacation and am back, ready for action. Unfortunately my family did not get home until about an hour ago, so my post did not get up. Sad. BUT, to make it up to y'all, I have a surprise planned for Friday. So, be on the look out! It's gonna be awesome! ;)

Changes on the horizon!


By Katie Marie
Good morning everyone! I know today we usually have a book discussion together. But today is going to be a bit different.

We are currently working on revamping our blog layout and playing around with our schedule! We'll be spending today working on those two things, so there will be no usually book discussion. Sorry! But please remember to stop by tomorrow and see what's new! :-)

What I've Been Reading


By Unknown
Hello readers! Sadly I haven't been able to read much as I've been busy finishing up school so I can graduate this spring, but I have read a few very good books lately!




No Greater Love (Extreme Devotion Series: South Africa #1)Last week I read No Greater Love by Kathi Macias. Talk about a great read! This book drew me un from the beginning and I was instantly captivated by the story of Chioma and her fight against apathied. The story was very unique and I loved reading it. You can read my full review on this book here, but if you like reading wonderful books about undying love, hard times, reconciliation, and beautiful sacrifice, than this is the book for you! Buy No Greater Love HERE!





Red Ink (Extreme Devotion Series, Book 3)I also read Red Ink, another book in the Extreme Devotion series by Kathi Macias. This book was excellent and I really enjoyed entering the life of Zhen-Li -- a Christian Chinese woman who was placed in a horrible prison because of her beliefs. It was a really good book. You can read my review here. This story would be good for someone who enjoys a touching story about the enduring faith of a woman, and the enduring love of her Savior. Purchase this book HERE.




An Amish Christmas, Expanded Edition: A Choice to Forgive / A Miracle for Miriam / One Child / Christmas CradlesAnother book I read was An Amish Christmas by Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller, Barbara Cameron, and Kelly Long. This book was an interesting read about 4 different people in Lancaster County who experience many different tribulations around Christmas time. It was a pretty good read and I liked the lessons in it. You can read my review here, or purchase this book HERE.







Petra: City in StoneAnd last but not least, I read Petra, City In Stone. This book was EXCELLENT and I really enjoyed it! It was my first by T. L. Higley, but I am positive that it will not be my last. :-) I loved reading about Cassia and her fight against evil to get her son back from the pagan queen and Julian's quest to forgive himself and return to faith. It was such an amazing book -- I highly recommend it! You will not regret picking up this book. Buy it HERE!





I know -- that's a sad amount of books! But it's all I got! :-(
But An Amish Christmas was a four-in-one. ;-)

Also, I wanted to let y'all know that this will be our last scheduled post until January 3rd of 2011!! Our 12 Days Of Christmas will be starting Monday and we are SO excited! But, other than that and perhaps a quick post here and there, we will be taking a break for the holiday season. I, Kait, will be going home(aka Milton) next week and Katy and I will be busy having fun while I'm in town! :-)
See you next year! ;-)

Thanksgiving Vacation


By Unknown
Hello readers! I'm very sorry to say this, but this past week I've not read much of anything, besides The Handmaid And The Carpenter by Elizabeth Berg, which I highly suggest you read, and Red Ink by Kathi Macias which I am still going through and am enjoying very much, so I will not be posting the normal What I've Been Reading today. SO sorry; I've been busy! :-)

Also, I've been talking to my wonderful writing companion and we've decided to take off a week for Thanksgiving, as we will both be on vacation and away from home. So, that being said, we will return Monday to announce the winner of our giveaway and to continue writing with our normal schedule. Hope everyone stays safe on their travels to see family or friends this holiday and has a marvelous time. Happy Thanksgiving; see y'all next Monday!

Oops! :-/


By Katie Marie
Hey y'all! I just wanted to come on really quick to apologize for not posting our monthly giveaway on Friday!! I am in Tennessee at the moment - enjoying being up in the mountains with no cellphone service and limited Internet.

*sigh*

To my surprise, I am enjoying having little contact with outside world! ;-) At night, I get on for an hour or two to catch up on things, but other than that...I sit outside on the rustic porch that has a breathtaking view of the top of the mountain, turn up my music, and just enjoy the moment!!


So, ya...I kinda...forgot...about posting the giveaway on the 8th! I'm SO sorry! :-/ But, I will be posting it this coming Friday, the 15th, so check back sometime that day for a chance to win!

Thanks for visiting Book Ponderings! We enjoy reading your comments and thoughts, and if you ever have any suggestions or thoughts - we love to hear from our readers!!! ;-)

~ Katy
