I am an avid reader who also happens to be a librarian and wannabe writer (formerly a member of RWA and Women Writers of Color). I am so excited to see you love the characters in the Mitford series. i own them all and have read most of them at least twice. They are certainly keepers because they point to God's truth. Like you said, the audio versions are excellent adaptations. -Angela Blair Hello Angela.

I had never heard of or seen Christian fiction. Thank you for including a picture of what a real Christian is suppose to look like, to be honest I had never seen one. Now i strive to be one.

Her reader is magnificent and I am totally in love with all of her characters. If you've tried Pat's book but haven't read "Cruisin' on Desperation," I recommend you do so. I think she moved into the big time with that one. Patricia, I’ve wondered if I would like the Karon books as much if I were reading them as opposed to listening to them.

Funny thing is I took a Jan Karon book out of the library, because I so wanted to read one of the Mitford books I'd heard so much about. I couldn't get past the first chapter. Couldnt' really say why other than at the time maybe I wasn't in the right mood or frame of mind. I also heard great things about the Sister Betty books. Couldn't get past the cutesy character names. Tried twice. Both are still on my list of "to be read" books. I think I have to put myself in a place where I can overlook whatever has bothered me in the past. I've done that before with other authors. Sounds like just the kinds of books I would enjoy.

I really like Jan Karon. I discovered her via audiobook as well. I listened to These High, Green Hills and then read A Common Life. I have yet to read/listen to the others but I will. This is my first time hearing of Pat G’Orge Walker; I'll have to check her out. Thanks, Angela, for the reminder and the recommendation. Blessings, Angela Hi Angela and everyone!

I’ve definitely heard of Pat’s “Sister Betty,” and got a chance to see Sister Betty in person at one of Jacquelin Thomas’ writers conferences in NC. Thanks for the recommendation on Jan Karon. I’ll check her books out.
