I just want to clarify one thing first. I have a complete list of the 104 books I've read and reviewed in 2012 under the 2012 reviews tab. There are many books I would have loved to read this past year, but for one reason or another, I either never got a chance to start them, or I started but didn't finish them.
So of the books I've read, here are my favorites...
The Unlikely Wife by Debra Ullrick (Love Inspired Historical)
Coming Home by Stacy Hawkins Adams (Zondervan)
Walks Aloneby Sandi Rog (Whitefire)
The Jerk Magnet by Melody Carlson (Revell)
Into the Free by Julie Cantrell (David C Cook)
Saving Hope by Margaret Daley (Abingdon)
Love's Sacred Song by Mesu Andrews (Revell)
A Sweethaven Summer by Courtney Walsh (Guideposts)
Shakespeare's Lady by Alexa Schnee (Guideposts)
Shattered Identity by K. Dawn Byrd (Desert Breeze Publishing)
Prize of My Heart by Lisa Norato (Bethany House)
Baroness by Susan May Warren (Summerside)
Crazy Dangerous by Andrew Klavan (Thomas Nelson)
Wish You Were Here by Beth K. Vogt (Howard)
The Widow of Saunders Creek by Tracey Bateman (Waterbrook Press)
The Kingmaker's Daughter by Philippa Gregory (Touchstone)
Wind Over Marshdale by Tracy Krauss (Astrea Press)
Flame of Resistance by Tracy Groot (Tyndale)
Love's Reckoning by Laura Frantz (Revell)
Submerged by Dani Pettrey (Bethany House)
Borders of the Heart by Chris Fabry (Tyndale)
A Love Surrendered by Julie Lessman (Revell)
A Promise to Love by Serena B. Miller (Revell)
The Heart's Frontier by Lori Copeland and Virginia Smith (Harvest House)
Double Identity by K. Dawn Byrd (Desert Breeze Publishing)
Harvest of Rubies by Tessa Afshar (Moody/River North)
And if I were to choose a favorite read for this past year from this list it would be a tie between Shakespeare's Lady by Alexa Schnee and Love's Reckoning by Laura Frantz

Thanks for including WIND OVER MARSHDALE on your list. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Michelle, You always go the extra mile for books and author friends - I so appreciate you and wish I could catch up with you, lol!!
Thanks so much for all you do and for who you are. Your own books would make my list if I posted one for myriad reasons, mainly because they're brave and compelling and so relatable for today.
Bless you in all you do for Him and others.
Love,
Laura
