New York Times best-selling author Liz Tolsma is the author of Daisies are Forever, Snow on the Tulips, and the contributing author of A Log Cabin Christmas. When not busy putting words to paper, Liz enjoys reading, walking, working in her large perennial garden, kayaking, and camping. She lives in Wisconsin with her husband and children, all adopted internationally.
What was your favorite book as a child?
I really enjoyed The Secret Garden and A Little Princess. Even at a young age, I loved historical fiction!
What book did you read that first made you want to be an author?
The Little House on the Prairie books. I loved reading them and imagined myself as Laura, writing down these stories.
What was the last book you read, just for fun?
Picture Perfect by Janice Thompson. It’s a fun, contemporary book that was a nice light read. After all those WWII research books I comb through, I need a bit of humor.
What upcoming release are you most looking forward to?
I’m excited for Kristy Cambron’s debut novel The Butterfly and the Violin. It’s set during WWII and sounds like a great read. And Sarah Sundin has a new novel releasing this summer, In Perfect Time. It’s book 3 in her Wings of the Nightingale series and I’ve enjoyed the other two so much.

I plan to read Rekindled by Tamera Alexander
Just about finished with PJ #3 – next to start is The Art of Arranging Flowers
I’m thinking it will be Mail Order Man by Heather Gray or either her book Redemption
I’m not sure. I have 3 books that I have to do reviews for and I was also thinking about reading The Storm Inside.
Thank you for spotlighting other writers. I see this as very helpful to your books as well as theirs.
I plan on reading “All My Belongings” and “Amish Values for Your Family”
Roses from Briar by Amy Carmichael. I love her writings!
A Mother’s Secret is the next book that I plan on reading.
I am currently reading Love Finds You in Sugarcreek Ohio because I loved the movie last night, & then I am going to read Raptor 6 so I can pass it on to my son when I see him in July 🙂
My next book is: LOVE FINDS YOU IN GLACIER BAY. Just finished SCENT OF LILACS by Ann Gabhart
For Such a Time by Kate Breslin
The next book I will be reading is Moon Over Maalaea Bay by HL Wegley. It will be the third book in his Pure Genius Series. It will be coming out soon and I’m very excited about reading it 🙂
I’ll be reading Dancing with Fireflies next by Denise Hunter. I use to follow Sue Grafton but I’m a few behind. I read Christian authors mostly now!
Do you have any favorite authors whose books you never miss? Not really
Authors that I never miss, Sable Hunter, Mary Connealy, I will say I have started reading some new authors, and I like their style of writing so I am getting all their books.
I pretty much never miss anything by Dee Henderson or Terri Blackstock. I am a sucker for series though so if I read one by any author and like it at all I search for the rest until I’m done.
I’m entering for Karen Barnett’s new book – which linked to this post….so I also answered on the post that features her….not sure which one it would be..
As for what I’m reading next, I’m not sure! I am in the middle to last part of 3 books and have a stack from the library that is about 3 feet high so I have lots of choices. I’m not sure what I’ll be in the mood to read; I could choose mystery, YA, WWII history, NA, dystopian, romance….
