My 2011 Book Recommendations

For the last 3 years my husband and I have a running competition throughout the year...who can read the most pages! I won the first year...he's won years 2 & 3...by major landslide numbers! It's a fun way to record what we read and our ratings and we can easily see what we'd recommend...and what we WOULDN'T.

Here's my list of recommendations:

The Help, by Kathryn Stockton
The Book Thief, by Marjus Zusak
Lilies in Moonlight, by Allison Pittman
A Woman's Place, by Lynn Austin
Forsaking All Others, by Allison Pittman
Love's Pursuit, by Siri Mitchell
While We were Far Apart, by Lynn Austin
Beside Still Waters, by Tricia Goyer
Circle Trilogy & Green, by Ted Dekker
Dating Dilemmas of Delilah Dunnfield, by Victoria L. Thurman
The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins (listened to this audio...amazing)

and last, but not least, the resident Vampire book...

Bloody Mary, by The Dack Brothers (Christopher Dack & Michael Dack)

Each of these books I would recommend for 1 reason or another. The main thing you'll notice is that the majority of these books are historical fiction and also Christian. That is typically what I like to read but sometimes I make a diversion into contemporary, fantasy, dystopian and even vampire.

Your turn: What books did you read last year that you'd recommend? I'd love to hear about what you love to read!

Cheers,
Elizabeth

Book Review: Forsaking All Others by Allison Pittman

Here's another VLOG book review on a fantastic book Forsaking All Others, by Allison Pittman.

Allison Pittman is one of my favorite authors. I love that she writes so authentically and the range from prostitution in the wild west to romantic love over baseball to polygamy...and as if that's not enough, even about the spiritual lessons she has learned from her furry-friend, Stella. Seriously, she covers it all!

You can buy her books here (and a lot of other places): AMAZON

YOUR TURN: What do you think of this book? Have you read or are you going to? What are you reading? I'd love to hear from you!

Cheers,

Elizabeth
