Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

The Second Just the Write Best Novel Awards

by Chautona Havig · 37 Comments

A symphony of typewriters fills the room.  Clacks of the keys, zips of the carriage, and the percussive ting! as they reach the edges of the pages.

Applause drowns out the final notes as the conductor turns to address the audience.  “Welcome to the Second Annual Just the Write Awards!  It is my distinct pleasure to get off this stage by introducing your master of ceremonies, Chautona Havig.”

I step up to the podium and crack a joke.  Don’t ask what the joke is—if I rehearsed it, I guarantee it wouldn’t be funny.

Just work with me here.

Just the Write Award 2018

Note: links are affiliate links and as such, I may receive a small commission if you click to make a purchase. Additionally, I purchased some of these books myself and others I requested review copies for.

Okay, back to the awards.  I hold my hand up to block the flashing lights of all the photographers… JUST KIDDING.  C’mon. This is my bedroom, folks. No photography here. I’m not that kind of author. Just sayin’.

“Welcome, welcome!  I’m so excited to do this again.  Last year’s awards were so much fun that I knew it had to be an annual thing. All those gift bags at the back of the room?  They were supposed to be filled with one of each of the winning books this year, but alas the mail truck with all those books was hijacked by book dragons who consumed them in one breath. So, enjoy your empty bags and you can fill them from the sales table instead!”

(yes, I feel ridiculous writing this… just sayin’ also, please note that these are books read, not necessarily published, in 2018)

“This year, I found it twice as hard to narrow down the awards to just ten… again.  Seriously, authors!  Stop writing such amazing books!  You’d save me a boatload of trouble. However, a few books made it on the list at first read.

I mean, I wrote down my very first book in January.  I knew it would make the list.  That’s pretty impressive.  Later in the year, the next in that series made the list, too. So, we’re combining those books into one award: Best Series Ending. 

Just the Write Award 2018

And the award goes to… (can I get a carriage roll please?):

Roseanna M. White with A Song Unheard and An Hour Unspent.

This series is one of my favorites in recent years, and these books didn’t disappoint. In fact, I loved one part of A Song Unheard so much that I begged for a spin-off series about that character.  Guess what I found out… we’re supposedly getting a Margot book.  Squee!

Just the Write Award 2018

Among the PoppiesThe next on my list is a new-to-me author and a new author.  With her debut novel, people, we have the Best Debut Author award going to J’Nell Ciesielski for Among the Poppies.  This book is seriously one of those books that just blows the idea that any book topic is “done.”  I loved it, and I have her next book, The Songbird and the Spy in progress now.  So far… I may have my first book of 2019 on the list.  It remains to be seen.

Just the Write Award 2018

The next book that made the list—even before I finished it, mind you—was my first book by Joanne Bischof.  The Sons of Blackbird Mountain for Best Historical Fiction.  I’d just like to say that this book did not win because many of the characters are Norwegian.  Or that one speaks only through sign language. Those just made a great book even better.

Whew! We’re booking along here!  So many awesome authors. 

Just the Write Award 2018

Okay, let’s shift eras (because those are all pretty close together and go wwwaaaay back to ancient times with a new award this year!

Introducing the Best Convert-Me-to-a-Genre Award and it goes to Connilyn Cossette with her fabulous book, Shelter of the Most High.  As I said in my REVIEW, I’ve never been a fan of Biblical fiction, but she’s converted me—at least to her way of doing it!  I  have the first book in that series waiting for me at The Lighthouse, and I can’t wait to read it in preparation for book three.  Squee!

As you can see, we have quite the historical theme going on here.

Just the Write Award 2018

Road to Paradise- by Karen Barnett2018 was a fabulous year for historical. I’m just sayin’!  I fell in love with the covers for the next author’s books, and the stories were just as good or better! The only problem is that when I finished the second, there wasn’t a third yet.  So, for the Best Dying-for-a-Sequel Award for 2018… Karen Barnett and her Vintage National Parks Novels.  Let’s just say if Yellowstone doesn’t hurry up, I might go crazy!

Moving into the 21st century…

Just the Write Award 2018

Dear Mr. KnightleyFirst up is a book that I thought would make a “Best Most-Recommended by Others” Award, but the content was too good not to give it a new, better one.  So, for the first ever Best Retelling Mash-up Award… Katherine Reay and Dear, Mr. Knightley.  Anyone who can combine Jane Austen’s Emma with Jean Webster’s Daddy Long-Legs and make me love it deserves two awards, but alas, she only gets one.  This year. I plan to read another of her books in 2019, so we’ll see if it makes the list again.

Just the Write Award 2018

I can thank J’Nell Ciesielski for this next award winner.  Because of her, in a long, roundabout way, I ended up needing to read a book—fast. So, I chose a cover that had always enchanted me but an author I’d never read and really hadn’t heard much about. I just wanted a quick read and push it off my Kindle  Unlimited shelf.  If I’d only known.

Bookishly Ever After by Sarah MonzonSo, for the Best New-to-Me Author Award—Sarah Monzon and her Bookishly series including Bookishly Ever After and Literarily Yours.  Seriously, folks. The only complaint I have about these books is that I can’t get them in paperback.  I’m not even going to complain about first-person with these!!!

Moving write along…

Just the Write Award 2018

I suspected that the next book would make the list a couple of years ago, but I didn’t know in what year or why.  I just knew that if Liz Johnson had another “book connection” moment with me, then I’d probably love the book. I’ve loved every other one she’s done that with.  Aw, who am I kidding?  I don’t think she’s written a book I didn’t love.

A Sparkle of Silver--Liz JohnsonSo, for Best Christian Mystery/Romance, I give you A Sparkle of Silver, although maybe it should be the “Best Great Minds Think Alike Award.”  The only reason it isn’t is because of the rest of that saying.  Who knows what comes after “Great minds think alike…”?

Just the Write Award 2018

The next book award should also have another title.

When a Unique Premise Really Is Enough The Kingdom of Ruins by DC Marino YA fantasyI’m thinking it should have been called the Best When Will You Ever Get That Done award.  Alas, it was too long and wouldn’t fit on the little award image, so I had to go with boring old, Best Fantasy of 2018.  This goes to D.C. Marino and her fabulous Points Worth and Kingdom of Ruins. Since these are connected works, I decided I could go for both.

There’s so much I could say about these stories, but I really recommend reading my REVIEW if you haven’t already.  I say that because there are actual pictures of her amazing book launch party in there. Deborah turned her entire, beautiful home into places from the book—complete with dirt in the carpet!!!

Just the Write Award 2018

Out of North KoreaAnd the final (and most important award, I think) goes to author Alana Terry for her phenomenal book Out of North Korea. Seriously, folks, this was THE best book I read in 2018 and because of how important I think it is for today’s Christian church to read, I’m giving this the Best Christian Must-Read Award. 

Seriously, folks. If you can only read one Christian fiction book in 2019, make it Out of North Korea because this book touches on so many things we in the church need to be aware of—now.

We had a HUGE upset this year. 

Just the Write Award 2018

Mind Games- Suspense winnerAfter the awards were granted and the medals engraved, a book that couldn’t be ignored appeared on the scene.  The plot was so full of twists and turns and upsets that I had to create an award just for it. So, I offer you a rare award I hope not to use often if ever again… The Best Last-Minute Award (for suspense) and it goes to Nancy Mehl for her wonderful book, Mind Games.

Whew! It’s been an amazing year for reads.

I’ve had very few disappointments and could have made a list twice as long as this—oh, so easily.  And, I already have two huge stacks that I’m trying to get through before January 6th.  We’ll see if I make it.  Check these puppies out.

First up: my “personal choice” book stack.  #7daughter chose A Rumored Fortune as the first read on it and well… you’ll have to stay tuned for the review to see what I think of it.  Hint: I’m surprised at what I think!

Personal choice reads

The second stack holds my January reads for review.  I don’t think I have to post reviews for all of them in January, but my goal is to have them done and ready to go!  🙂

January Reads

So… there you have it.  Another year of amazing reads down and another coming up!

What were your top 3 reads of 2018? 

Leave me a comment below and I’ll buy one reader her next book—paperback or eBook. Whichever you like!  Giveaway ends January 6th.

    Can I say what an awesome list this is? And no, not just because I’m on it 😉 Boy, I can’t remember half of what I read this year, but the standouts were My Dear Hamilton and The Gentleman in Moscow. If you want poetry in language and depth of skill, these are for you. I also just picked up my first Laura Frantz book, can you believe that??!

    I also liked Among the Poppies. Also, I read Laura Frantz for the first time and enjoyed both Lacemaker and The Mistress of Tall Acres. I also liked the Orphan Train series by Jody Hedlund. And finally, the Hidden Masterpieces series by Kristy Cambron starting with The Butterfly and the Violin. I know, it is more than 3. I read about 220 books this year, so it is hard to narrow it down too much!! I read some good ones by Lynn Austin and several others as well…

    I read 62 books this year according to Goodreads, that’s quite a few more than normal for me! I would normally say historical fiction is my favorite genre, but lots of great contemporary reads this year.
    I loved Liz Johnson’s Prince Edward Island Dreams series (read them all back to back to back this year) and also the first two books in Becky Wade’s Bradford sisters series.
    I don’t read many Amish/Quaker books, but I really enjoyed Phoebe’s Light by Suzanne Woods Fisher, and one other hsitorical that I enjoyed was Lady Jane Disappears.

    Super fun list! I loved Roseanna White’s series too! All of Connilyn Cossette’s books are my favorites :), and I’ve read Dear Mr. Knightley at least 5 times – I love it so much! The last two nights, I was up till at least midnight reading Sarah Monzon’s books per your recommendation. I really enjoyed the first one, but the second not quite as much. I am looking forward to the third coming out in a couple days!

    Aside from those, my list of bests for this year would contain Tessa Afshar’s Thief of Corinth, Joan Deneve’s Redeemed Side of Broken trilogy, an ARC of Katherine Reay’s next book The Printed Letter Bookshop (so good!), Debbie Viguie’s The Spice of Life, and the three Crossroads Collections. Tammy Gray’s first two Bentwood books get honorable mention because they are so well written but the first one frustrated me greatly! The second one was much better and I can’t wait for number three!

    It’s so hard for me to choose favorites! It’s like comparing apples to oranges; there’s good things about each one, but they’re all different. I made a list of all my 5-star ratings during 2018 on Goodreads. I had 9 re-reads of old favorites and 12 new favorites. 😉

    My top three first-time reads are: (oh, this is like pulling teeth!)
    1. My Heart Remembers by Kim Vogel Sawyer
    2. A Tailor-Made Bride by Karen Witemeyer
    3. Sunrise Cabin by Stacey Donovan

    Great list! Thanks for including the Vintage National Parks novels. I can’t wait for everyone to read Ever Faithful when it releases this June. I think it’s turned out to be my favorite of the bunch. Of course, readers’ favorites sometimes differ from an author’s favorite. That happened with my Golden Gate Chronicles books.
    It’s hard to say which novels I’m most looking forward to in 2019. Sarah Sundin’s second installment in the Sunrise at Normandy series would definitely be on there and Joanne Bischoff’s followup to Sons of Blackbird Mountain. And I hear Lori Benton has a new one coming out this year. And just to switch up the genre–anything by Ronie Kendig!

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 161: A Chat with Christian Women's Fiction Robin W. Pearson
byChautona Havig

Nothing says good, Southern women’s fiction like a feisty granny or a family secret, and Robin W. Pearson’s got you covered on both fronts. Stir in a pot of faith, and well… you’re bound to find a story you’ll never forget. And isn’t that a blessing? Award-winning, bestselling, and aspiring yodler on the other side of the Rockies, Robin writes stories of faith, family, and it sounds like some seriously delicious food.

Note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

What’s Better Than a Great Women’s Fiction Novel on a Summer’s Day?

New-to-me (or she was!) women’s fiction author, Robin W. Pearson writes God-centered, family-focused fiction. Robin is a delightful homeschooling mom of seven and if that wasn’t job enough, her debut novel won a Christy award! I mean, that takes some serious skills! Not to mention, it has a killer kick-off synopsis on Amazon. I was hooked from the first paragraph.

Robin says she wants people to see love in her books–how to love well even when we don’t know how. How to see each other as God does.  I think that sounds pretty amazing.

Her debut novel, A Long Time Coming, is more than just a great-sounding book, it really deals with family issues and I’ll just say I fell in love with the narrator of the audio.

The next book, Till I Want No More, rips your heart out with the synopsis, stomps on it, and says, “There. Now what’ll you do about that?  Well, I don’t know what I’ll do, other than read it of course!

And her latest novel?  Oh, my gravy. It released just last week and it’s amazing.  Well, the part I’ve read already is. Walking in Tall Weeds promises to keep your heart on tenterhooks as it takes you through a family’s pain and trauma.  And what more could you want?

Walking in Tall Weeds by Robin W. Pearson

From award-winning author Robin W. Pearson comes a new Southern family drama about one family who discovers their history is only skin-deep and that God’s love is the only family tie that binds.

Paulette and Fred Baldwin find themselves wading through a new season of life in Hickory Grove, North Carolina. Their only son, McKinley, now works hundreds of miles away, and the distance between the husband and wife feels even farther. When their son returns home, his visit dredges up even more conflict between Fred and Paulette.

McKinley makes it no secret that he doesn’t intend to follow in his father’s footsteps at George & Company Fine Furnishings or otherwise. Fred can’t quite bring himself to accept all his son’s choices, yet Paulette is determined McKinley will want for nothing, least of all a mother’s love and attention—which her own skin color cost her as a child. But all her striving leaves Fred on the outside looking in.

Paulette suspects McKinley and Fred are hiding something that could change the whole family. Soon, she’s facing a whirlwind she never saw coming, and the three of them must dig deep to confront the truth. Maybe then they’ll discover that their history is only skin-deep while their faith can take them right to the heart of things.

You can learn more about Robin W. Pearson on her WEBSITE.
