Mine will post overnight with a review.
It is a bit troubling to me that folks are posting without any caveats. I found this book to be at odds with Biblical truth & I cannot recommend it.
I'm up.

Very disappointed in this one...didn't even finish it.
Posted.
Whew! I made the mistake of requesting books on subsequent blog campaigns. But my voice held up--strictly a God-thing--long enough to complete them. One Fine Season is now posted.
Posted the CFBA blurb.
Posted with a review.

I just posted with a review - mine included a couple warning labels, but overall I enjoyed the book. Anytime I agree to review a book I finish it. Period. I don't think I can give an honest review if I don't.
I rarely participate in the CFBA tour anymore, but I do keep up with which books are featured and I visit random blogs.
I wonder, Bonnie, why this latest book was featured. So many people have given bad reviews. And it's self-published. Since when are self-published books allowed on the tour? And why this one?
I don't remember getting an email about this tour. Sorry! I may have accidentally deleted it. It's up now.
Sorry kc I didn't see your question before this or I would have answered you them.
Self published books have been allowed on the tour for the last year.
If you are part of the the publishing community you will see that numerous Christian publishers including Thomas Nelson, Bethany Press, nad now Harlequin all have self-publishing arms. That is the wave of the future. And there are several other publishers that will announce their self-publishing ventures in the coming months.
As long as a book has a Christian world view, it is eligible. To each his own on what he or she thinks is acceptable in Christianity.
And actually this book was recommended by someone in our group.
