On Monday, ACFW announced the finalists for the 2016 Carol Awards. You may recognize several of these as Christy Award winners! These are a great group of books! Linked titles will take you to my review of that book. The winners will be announced August 27 during the gala awards dinner in Nashville as part of ACFW’s annual conference, and I am eagerly anticipating attending the conference and the awards dinner!
