Congrats RITA Awards Finalists!

I don't normally do posts like this but I think it is important to give recognition where recognition is due. Some of these writer's books I admittedly haven't read but those whose books I have read are amazing and they so deserve the nomination. I'm so glad I don't have to choose the winner because I know for sure I wouldn't be able to pick just one! Let me know what you think about the finalists and who you are cheering on!

    Congratulations to all the finalists. I think it's way cool that the inspirational category of the RITA has nine this year.
