Yes. Laura Ann. I agree. I enjoy other types of books as well. I like to
read biographies, westerns, and historical novels. It's really nice to have
the Christian books where they can be found. Have a good one.

I Definitely agree.
I am sorry if I lead you to believe that is all I read.
I have been validating lots of thistory and text books and classics as well
as the Christian fiction and non fiction....I just love the Christian Fiction
genre and wanted to make it more easily found. for those who are interested.
I am also very interested in Gardening and cookbooks and animal books and am
adding those as well as the biographies category under biography.
If anyone has a way they want them categorized let me know.
I right now have them under general.
I am planning to put as many as I can find under there....
I am also doing a Christian Biography under non fiction just to help like I
said if someone is looking specifically for that type of book.
I am excited to see bookshare grow and love the amount of books now available
to blind people.
We can choose what we want to read and its like a kid in a candy store.
I do also love mystery writers and will eventually start adding Patricia
cornwell, Mary Higgins Clark, JoAnn Fluke, and more after I finish with my
Christian Lit project.
I know many here also love mysteries and will be able to help me find some I
will love reading.
Thanks to all of you for your kind remarks and encouragement.
I am off to get back to work now.

I ALSO am a Christian but not offended by very much and enjoy books
of
all types and am thankful for bookshare and that it isn't limiting in what
is available. In my opinion, good books come in all types of styles and by
all types of authors and I see several that other blindness services may never
have or not for a very long time so it is nice to have another means of access
for peoople who don't have any scanner or not a very good one or who just like
being able to read books anywhere at any time. I've downloaded some Christian
material recently but enjoy non christian stuff too so am glad it is there.

I am a Christian, and not ashamed of it. However, I think we need to
remember that bookshare.org is for everyone, and those who prefer
non-Christian oriented books still have the right to submit their books of
choice and get them validated.
Best,
Sue S.

Wow!! So many choices. I have heard of some of those
authors but never read any. Thanks for the info. I
couldn't quite reconcile "thriller" with Christian
fiction, but you and Monica have explained well.

hi Cindy,
good question.
They are books that have Christian themes but like
Monica said they
can still be nail bitting for the thrillers
They are dealing with some subjects like loniliness,
family, being
loved for who you are, marriages, adoption, teen
pregnancy, they
give hope and are clean but still fast paced.
Joel C. Rosenberge is a great suspense author and so
is
Randy Alcorn, Ted Dekker, Bill Myers, Dee Henderson,
Angela Hunt, Frank Peretti
Christian Romances or general fiction are written
well with good
plots and story lines that sometimes I can't go to
bed I am so
enthralled with the stories like
Karen Kingsbury, Angela Hunt Terri Blackstock
Karen Kingsbury is one of my favorite authors
because her characters
are real and get into trouble just like us.
They aren't perfect.
some are fantasy going from one world to another
like Ted Dekker's
circle Trilogy
Black, Red, and White
then there are Books set 2000 and 3000 years ago
like
Gilbert Morris's Heart of a Lion Series
Francine Rivers 3 books Mark of the Lion series
As Sure as the Dawn, Echoes in the Darkness, A Voice
in the wind.
or Ellen Gunderson Traylor's Biblical novels that
take stories from
the Bible and use the immagination and research from
that time to
create a grippping story like
John Son of thunder
Noah
Mary Magdala
John Hagee devil's Island, Avenger of blood
and then the Chick lit I referred to are books about
every day women
just like us who love chocolate, shopping, purses,
coffee or tea,
having our hair or nails done, and just being good
friends and having
adventures together.
Robin Jones Gunn Writes these types of books called
Sisterchick books
Sister Chicks on the Loose
Sister Chicks and sombreros
Sisterchicks do the Hoola
Sister Chicks and Gondolas
Sistercicks say ewww la la
and Sister Chicks downunder
Kristin Billerbeck also writes sister chick lit
about a single woman
with attitude Ashley Stockingdale
They are halarious to me anyway,
What a Girl wants
She's out of control
With this ring I'm confused.
She has a new series called spa girls
She's all that is book one and already on bookshare.
Calm Cool and collected
Hope Lyda also writes books along these lines and
her book is
Hip to Be Square.
Then there are Steven Bly's western with humor
Brock and Bodie Thoene Historical Fiction
Gilbert Morris Historical fiction sereies like
House of Winslow and
Dr. cheney deuval
These are very historically accuate and fun reads
for those who enjoy history.
Then There are books about life like
Beverly LaHaye and Terri Blackstocks Showers in
Season series
these will have you laughing and crying so have a
hanky handy
they are on NLS and I will scan them someday.
Then there are what I call fluffy romances
Heart song romances are like the Harliquin or
Silloette but more
family oriented and less steamy.
They are fun and great for when your in the mood for
a light romance
that warms your heart.
another series like that is Steeple Hill romances
but a little less
fluffy and sometimes even somewhat suspenseful.
Margaret Daley
Lynn Bulock
Felicia Mason
Then there are Mysteries
Mindy Starnes Clark
Jenny Acken
Bee Carlton
B.J. Hoff Dark River Legacy series
Hannah Alexander
dr. Harry Kraus M.D.
and the 3 books I recently submitted Deadly Cure,
False Positive, and
Lethal Harvest By William Cutier not sure how to
spell his name hehehe
Hope this explains and gives you guys some ideas
where to start if
you are intested in trying some out.
