Today was so fun watching and listening to ECPA President and CEO, Jeff Crosby, and author, Chris Fabry list The Christy Award finalists! I've been blessed to have read quite a few of these books over the past year! We've even had several of these authors join our monthly online Inspired Readers Book Club! Their names are in bold, two of them this year (Toni Shiloh and Amanda Wen).
Books with an asterisk * are ones I've read. Books with two asterisks ** means I have the book, but haven't read it yet. Many of the books have come from authors, publishers, and book tours. Some I've listened to via audiobook or purchased myself. Any of the book titles that have links with them are ones I've reviewed either on my website or on Goodreads. Click through if any interest you to learn more about the stories and read my review.
If you're interested in checking out any of these books, head to my Amazon Storefront where I'm an Amazon Associate, which means I might earn a few pennies (I have yet to earn anything) if you make a purchase through my link! Here you go: Mimi's Storefront.
