Goodreads and Three "G" Authors

 

One the most useful book trackers I like to use is Goodreads. I also think it is one of the most well known ones. I like the ability to keep track of books I am currently reading, have read, want to  read, and now, we can even keep a list of DNF books. I can create shelves for books that I have or will review for CelebrateLit or JustReads; I have shelves for the Five in a Row books I used when homeschooling my kids; books I want to read soon; lists for book clubs you might be in, and so forth. 

You can keep track of the start and finish dates for reading that book. Goodreads also helps keep track of book challenges. I like that you can set a goal of how many books you plan to read in a year, and it will track your progress for that goal. 

You can also keep track of progress in individual books, up to 10 books. I find that useful for the books I am reading for reviews. I'm not a fast reader, unfortunately, and sometimes I have to move on to the next book  for upcoming review before I am finished with the book for the most recent due date.

Now for three authors whose last name begins with "G." Two are among my most favorite authors, the third is fairly new to me.

First: Shelley Shepard Gray. I think she is among the most famous Christian authors, and seems most well known for her Amish fiction. I've read most of her Amish Brides of Pinecraft series, the Amish of Hart County series, and The Charmed Amish Life series. I especially like the Amish Brides of Pinecraft stories, so much so that one time when my daughter and I were in the area, we looked for the Pinecraft community. That was fun.

Second author: Tricia Goyer. She is well known among the Christian homeschooling community, since she is a homeschool mother herself...a mother of nine! The first book of hers that I read was Love Finds You in Victory Heights, Washington, and I've read many since. I especially enjoy her well-researched World War II novels. She has also written several nonfiction books; one that really impacted me was Walk It Out. Most recently she has written a series with her son, Nathan, The Clockwork Chronicles, which I have reviewed and will be reviewing.

Third author, fairly new to me: Danielle Grandinetti. My introduction to Grandinetti was His Boss's Little Sister, which I reviewed last November. Most recently I reviewed Eyewitness Sketch. Both are set in Wisconsin, which is a state that is near and dear to my heart, since my parents grew up there.

I hope you will enjoy checking out these authors. Have you read any of their works? Do you use Goodreads? Please share in the comments below.
