This party is still happening!!!
Here's what I have today...
As their rehearsals begin, Destiny realizes the unimaginable: Isaac has developed deep feelings for her despite their religious differences and the fact that he has a girlfriend.
But will they be able to find their place amongst the backbiters of their ultra-conservative world?
Weaving around Destiny and Isaac's alternating viewpoints, Destiny is the first book in a series inspired by the characters of Les Misérables and explores heartbreak, self-discovery, intolerance, and love.
I purchased this SIGNED copy from the authors website.

It depends on how the book is written and the role that religion plays in the book. I'm not a religious person so if religion is huge part of the book it may make it difficult for me to identify and connect with the characters, but generally I don't mind it, since I get to learn more about it and understand religious people better. Congratulations and thank you for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not religious myself, but I have read books where the characters believe and it's always been enjoyable if it's a back story, rather than a strong aspect.
ReplyDeleteCongrats again lovely!
I don't mind reading them although it depends how it would affect the plot of the book. Thank you for the giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS! And I enjoy it in most books, it's part of life!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! And I'm not sure. I guess I don't mind.
ReplyDeleteDepends on how much the author focuses on it, I usually don't read books with religion because it reflects on how much how I enjoy it, since I'm not religious, but I've read a few and it was okay.
ReplyDeleteI think it depends on how it is put across in the book. I mean I loved the Temptation Series by Keren ann Hopkin as it dealt with the Amish Religion and it's way of living. I do find other religions fascinating though.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read one with religion before so I don't know
ReplyDeleteI'm the complete opposite of a religious person I guess, but I don't mind it if it's not focused on too much. What I can't stand is when the book is written in a way that almost like forces it's beliefs onto readers when the plot should be about something else entirely. But if it's some fictional religion, I think I'd enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's a bit funny is that religions, especially Christianity interest me - in a way one would be interested in mythology. But I'm more into demonology.
I don't mind reading a book where religion is part of the plot, but they are not my favorite books.
ReplyDeleteI actually love it. I find religion fascinating and it's interesting how it affects characters in different ways. I just won't like it if the book felt preachy rather than just using the religion for characterization or plot.
ReplyDeleteI dpnt know.. I haven't read one with religion before.
ReplyDeleteIt really depends on what it is about.. I have read books like Heaven is for Real and enjoyed them
ReplyDeleteI guess I don't mind.
ReplyDeleteOk for books with religion as long as it does not take over.
ReplyDeleteI love reading books with religious part because as a Catholic, I grow up with religious beliefs and faith in God.
ReplyDeleteI'm okay with religion, I still read a book with religious topic :)
ReplyDeleteI'm okay with having religion be a part of the plot of a book.
ReplyDeletei don't mind reading books with religion at all because i'm religious myself but usually don't read religious books
ReplyDeleteIt depends upon the kind of book. I don't like preachy, but the history etc can be fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI think that religion can add a lot to the book if used in the right way, but sometimes it also causes conflict if the book becomes too preachy.
ReplyDeleteit depends, i dont like if the book want to change your perspective on religion, but talking about it, no problem!
ReplyDeletethanks!
I'm not religious, but I don't mind reading about it in books
ReplyDeleteIt doesn`t bother me!
ReplyDeleteI am not religious so I don't believe in most of it but if it fits the book - then it doesn't bother me.
ReplyDeleteI tend to steer clear of books about or centered around religion.
ReplyDeleteI actually find them quite interesting, especially if it is paranormal.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind religion as long as it is done tastefully. I enjoy reading Christian/Inspirational books on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteI don't really mind but it depends on how religion is a part of the plot. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't mind as long as it is not the focus i don't want to read a book about relligion but i don't mind if it is a part of it. thank you
ReplyDeleteas long as Religion isn't preachy, then I am fine with it in a plot, I enjoy seeing how different cultures/religions live. is this comp open INT?
ReplyDeleteI don't mind religion being a part of the plot
ReplyDeleteIt`s okay as long as it`s not too much or I will get bored with it.
ReplyDeleteI take it as a story and have no problem with reading the books like these.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy it because it shows challenges and conflicts with characters. I like to see what they decide to do and what happens. It is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind as long as is not too much
ReplyDeleteI haven't really read a book in this genre.
ReplyDeleteI'm not very religious myself, but I have read books that contain religion in them. I think that it is fine to have that. If you are reading a romance with a religious undertone, I think it should not be written were it is almost forcing the beliefs at you. If it is a religious genre then I understand that it is written a certain way.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind religion as a part of the story, as long as it is not constantly pushed down your throat.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't really bother me, I did read and liked the chosen one which is about polygamy
ReplyDeletei'm not religious person, so i don't have problems with read books with religion like part of the history, i've only had the opportunity to read two or three and found them good from the standpoint that it was made by the author
ReplyDeleteI feel way too often God and religion are left out of a books...at least in a positive way.
