When my kids were in school, they had assigned summer reading. Not that that was ever a problem for my book-loving children. But, still, it’s nice to be able to choose some for yourself.
Bullseye by Virginia Smith. Mystery, romance, faith.
Love Unexpected by Jody Hedlund. A story about
lighthouses; a reminder to accept the forgiveness God has given us through
Jesus.
The Edge of Belonging by Amanda Cox. An unbelievable
heart-breaking, heart-warming story about how Jesus saw people who were
invisible, alone in the byways of life, and loved them, joined them together,
and made them a family.
The Painted Castle by Kristy Cambron. Three breath-taking
stories at a country manor in England; one in the time of Queen Victoria, one
during World War II, one during the 21st century, and how the lives
of the three families are beautifully woven together.
Where the light fell by Philip Yancey. Memoir. Looks
at how from a troubled childhood home, he and his brother end up on totally
different life tracks. Ends with a trust in God’s love and the gift of his
grace.
Tranquility Falls by Davis Bunn, one of my favorite
authors. Mystery, recovery, family, and a bit of romance.
19 minutes to live: helicopter combat in Vietnam by Lew Jennings. Excellent history and personal accounts of the Vietnam War. Warning, rough language.
Hey, I read 19 MI it's to Live - great book.
ReplyDeleteI know you did, sweetie. I gave it to you.:) Lovie

ReplyDeleteThank you, Erma.:)
DeleteGood morning, Kathy! Philip Yancey, author of Where the Light Fell, is a "kissin' cousin" to you. Philip is a first cousin to my hubby, Keith. And as you are my first cousin - well, you know how people in the South are!
ReplyDeleteBut Keith and I are officially Missourians now, living in Nixa.
Thank you for the summer reading list! I can't wait to unpack my books and plan to visit my library very soon.
Hope you have a beautiful day!
