2) Flame of Resistance by Traci Groot
3) For Such A Time by Kate Breslin
General Fiction
4) The Beloved Daughter by Alana Terry
5) The Devil Walks in Mattingly by Billy Coffey
6) Into The Free by Julie Cantrell
Mystery/Suspense
7) Cuts Like A Knife by M. K. Gilroy (review later this week)
8) The Racketeer by John Grisham

9) Defy The Night by Lydia and Heather Munn
10) The Merciful Scar by Nancy Rue and Rebecca St. James
Wow, I haven’t really heard of any of these. I’ll have to check them out, especially INTO THE FREE.

Into The Free one a Christy for Best Debut novel and Best Book in 2013.
There are so many blogs listed over there, Beckie! I wish I had time to leisurely go through all of them.
My e-mail alert to this post came yesterday and I just now got a chance to open it. So many of these books are on my TBR list, but I haven’t actually read any of them yet. I’m saving this post for future reference. And I’ll leave a message for you on my blog.
It is a bit overwhelming to see all the books considered the best! I read somewhere that over 900,000 books are printed per year now! Gives new meaning to “so many books, so little time”!
