Thanks to the fantastic blog, Nook Deals, I've discovered a lot of books that I would not have noticed. It seems that a lot of publishers of Christian fiction like to offer deals on the first of a series, or an author's first book, in order to attract new readers.
A couple of months ago I downloaded Cool Beans by Erynn Magnum. It was the first in a 3-part series about Maya Davis, a girl in her mid-20s and her adventures as a barista at a coffee shop called Cool Beans. Here's the blurb from Barnes & Noble's website:
Everything seems to be going perfectly for Maya Davis: She has a great job at a coffee shop, gets along with her parents, and is happily single. That is until her best friend starts dating Maya’s high school sweetheart.
This funny, heartwarming fiction story by best-selling author Erynn Mangum uses the power of story to challenge teens to discover the relevance of faith in their relationships and their lives.
Even though it says it's for teens, I really think adults could also enjoy the message the author has regarding faith in your daily life. The other two books in the series are Latte Daze and Double Shot.
Erynn Magnum also has her first series, featuring Lauren Holbrook who ends up playing matchmaker to nearly everyone in her life, with great success and great faith in the Lord. Miss Match, Rematch, and Match Point are the books in this light, fun series.
I recently read Fools Rush In by Janice Thompson. This is a great book for those who enjoy stories involving lots of food, quirky characters, and a healthy helping of God's plans for us. Bella is a wedding planner in a huge Italian family that moved from New Jersey to Galveston Island, Texas. In between planning huge wedding extravaganzas (country-western, Renaissance, etc), she's got a new boyfriend, DJ, and discovering all the ways God works little wonders in life every day. There are two more books in the series, Swinging on a Star and It Had to Be You.
