Thank goodness for books that can get ya out of the real life zone for a few hours and into relaxation mode! I don't get to read as much when I'm teaching because there's always something else to do, like grade papers or sleep!
My favorite genre since I was a high school student has been Christian historical romance fiction (must be my addiction to
Little House on the Prairie and
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman). I feel like I not only get the pleasure of reading, but I come away with a good message too. Sometimes the genre can be predictable, so in the past year I've set out to find different authors to try. And I've been pleasantly surprised! Here are my favorites from the last six months:
|
Much to my aunt's dismay, I generally don't read "bonnet" books as I first heard my friend, Jesse, say; however, this one was good! Read it on a cold, rainy Sunday afternoon while Ron and Ava napped. |
|
I liked the humor, characters, and bit of mystery in Making Waves. |
|
The Doctor's Lady rates in my top five of all time favorite books! |
|
I always enjoy Tamera Alexander's novels. |
|
LOVE! |
|
I thoroughly enjoyed Shay and Travis's story.... recommended by Joy. |
|
My favorite author! Ready for another! |
These look great! I totally agree that books that get you out of the real life zone are good!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your book list with us. I'm just getting ready to start my spring break and was able to reserve several of the books from my library. I can't wait to start reading.

Have you read any of the other books in the series by Julie Lessman? I have one more to go; I think she wrote a total of 7. They are all great and continue the story of the family.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've read several of her books. I've liked them all!
