After I came home I went to my local Family Christian Store and wandered around there. Catholic books were relegated to two bottom bookshelves in the Commentaries section. The Catholic books were mostly Bibles (and I already have several), and children's books about saints. I saw one book about Catholic traditions, but I'm not sure if the author had much credibility. I wish they had a real Catholic book section. I did buy a comedy DVD by Chonda Pierce because I had a coupon. She's pretty funny.
I'm looking for some good contemporary Catholic books that are page turners. What Catholic books have you read that are captivating and page turners? I want to get lost and escape in a good Catholic book.
I read and loved these two novels by Christian M. Frank. I want to read more novels like these.

There's a Catholic fiction author, Michelle Buckman, who writes with a prolife message weaved in. I have not read her novels yet, but she's got a six book series out. I just ordered the first one, so I'll let you know if it's good and can even pass it along to you once I finish it.
Her website is: http://www.michellebuckman.com/
Other than that, I'm drawing a blank on other Catholic fiction authors. Before I was Catholic, I read and loved the Beverly Lewis series of books- she's a Christian author (formerly Amish)and her series was great.
Meghan, Yes, please let me know if you enjoy the novel you ordered.
