So I figure many many of these books will never be mentioned by anyone except me but here they are:
The Blue Castle, L.M. Montgomery: I love this book with all my heart. I really really need to buy myself a new copy because my current is in really bad shape. This book is about a women named Valancy Stirling who is diagnosed with a terminal heart condition. Up until this point she is single and under the rule of her mother and strict family. When she hears this news, she finally breaks free of her family and goes to work for a outlaw in her town, and eventually marries a man who is shunned from the community because he is "peculiar." This book always gives me a case of the warm fuzzies. You must read it if you eve have the chance!
The Last Summer of You and Me, Anne Brashares: Seriously a Great Great Book! This book is one of my favorites because of the emotions that the readers actions invoke in you. It centers on the lives of Sisters Riley and Alice, and their best friend paul. The title has so many different connotations that I will let you reach on your own. But, definitely take a stab at it!
Redeeming Love, Francine Rivers: I was down in San Diego last summer before I had even head of this book. I actually spent 4 hours on the beach reading the first half of it, and let me say once you start reading it you WILL NOT be able to put it down. Trust me on this, I watched one of my closest friends read the whole book yesterday. It is that good! This is one of those books that truly stops and makes you think. The book is supposed to be a mirror to the book of Hosea in the bible, and let me tell you it is fantastic! Set during California's gold rush it focuses on a girl named Angel and a man who loves her so deeply (Michael Hosea) he will do anything to bring her back. Must must must read!
So these are just 3 of my favorites and I will post some more eventually, but I did just discover bargain books on Amazon, so I will be shopping now!
