Before we get started, I have an exciting announcement: there’s not one, but two giveaways!

Enter here

Today’s theme is Books I’ve Recommended

Up first is Hondo – Louis L’Amour.
After my brother devoured a couple of these author’s books, I knew they must be good! I now collect them but Hondo continues to my favorite!
The MC is a bit of a reluctant hero, but when he comes upon a boy and his mother in the middle of nowhere, running low on food, and with a chance of trouble with Apache’s, he steps in.

The Meeting Place – Janette Oke and T. Davis Dunn
Friends, this book!!! My teen self had never cried so hard over fiction before. It is so rich with history and lovely characters bridging a divide, both language and prejudice. I learned so much from it—courage, friendship, and heartbreaking true events. Definitely make sure you’ve got tissues towards the end!

A Girl of the Limberlost – Gene Stratton-Porter
Such a good coming-of-age story! It has Beatrix Potter nature vibes that I am absolutely here for!
I love the people who saw the MC and did something about it. I appreciated that the relationships weren’t “everything is conveniently okay after so long strained” too. Just the name Limberlost also makes me happy.

Frog and Toad are Friends -Arnold Lobel
We listen to audiobooks during car rides quite a bit, most of which are kids’ books since my kiddos are still little. We keep coming back to the Frog & Toad books. Honestly, I think I love these as much if not more than they do!
Friendship, whimsy, child’s play yet still things adults should consider.

All Creatures Great & Small – James Herriot
Y’all this book had me laughing so hard my eyes squinched and stomach hurt! I remember watching the 1980’s version of the show with my dad and those are such good memories!
I love that there are little lessons and I still consider certain points. I think in general, the author incorporates that we do make a difference in what we dedicate ourselves to and everyday interactions with others.

I hope you enjoy this event as much as I am!
Definitely check in tomorrow for the next theme and don’t forget to head to the other lady’s blogs for even more!

Thank you for hanging out with me!

With love, Olivia
