Today I’ve decided to take a little trip down memory lane and introduce to you a few extra special books I’ve enjoyed. Books that may not be the most down to earth, up to date, or realistic, but books that still make me smile.
Pippi Longstocking
A very funny story about the strongest girl in the world and her rather scatterbrained, upside-down way of looking at things.
No Flying in the House
The delightful story of Annabel, a young girl who discovers that she is related to fairies.
Rascal

Part of our Read-a-Thon 2010 highlight posts.
When most people think of C. S. Lewis, his Narnia series is usually what comes to mind first. Or perhaps The Screwtape Letters. But today I want to draw attention to what are definitely my favorite Lewis books: his science fiction trilogy.
These are written for advanced readers, as the style of writing is so deep and thought-provoking, and Lewis does not attempt to smooth over the badguys. Evil is portrayed as what it is. But I still recommend these very, very highly. Every time I read them I find something new.
And just because they’re thought-provoking, don’t think they’re boring! Every book has plenty of action and suspense written in the older style. They stretch the imagination while exciting interest. And, best of all, on multiple occasions they have inspired me anew and afresh to marvel over how amazing our God is. Read the rest of this entry »

His first book Swords of the Six is the start of a seven-book series that looks to be pretty exciting. Book two, titled Offspring is tentatively scheduled for Summer/Fall next year, with the third book, The Key of Living Fire, coming in 2012.

We’ve already touched on historical fiction in a previous post, but this time I want to highlight some of my personal favorites—books which are of a more swashbuckling sort and include castles. Read the rest of this entry »
