Homeschooled Christian Girls discussion

I hope you don't mind me making a new topic, but I really want to know everyone's favourite author and to share new authors!

1. Your favourite author
2. Your favourite book by that author
3. What is it you like about him/her?

I am going to do my two favorite authors. :D

1. Jen Turano and Erynn Mangum

2. Playing the Part and Every book by her :D

3. The reason I love these two authors is because they are both original and funny. They also are very clean and Christian. The romance in these books is not overdone, instead it is simple and sweet. :D

I've never read those two, I should check it up ;-)
Oh, and I totally forgot to list my favourites! Here we go:

1. My all time favourite is Lucy Maud Montgomery
2. Kilmeny of the Orchard
3. I love her writing style! It's entertainig to read, and you can never get bored of it! And of course that is probably the reason why her books are so famous, and also because they have a sweet and thoughtful plot.

I love L.M. Montgomery too. I've read almost all of her books. Have you read The Story Girl by her. It is my absolute favorite!

I have read The Story Girl once, but not properly, so I'm re-reading it right now :-)

It has a sequel too. I think it's called The Golden Road. It's pretty good too.

I know that, but it's not been translated to finnish and it's not available in our library, which is sad :-/

I have three favorite authors...

1. C.S. Lewis
2. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
3. He wrote my favorite book series in the world. Narnia is so magical, so wonderful, so satisfying. You feel as though you are there and it's JUST. C.S. Lewis's books are gorgeous.

1. Susan K. Marlow
2. The Last Ride
3. She's really nice, I've talked to her a couple of times over the internet. The Last Ride has to be her best book, it just made me cry so hard it's not even funny. My mom even started getting concerned about me...xD

1. Elizabeth George Speare
2. The Witch of Blackbird Pond
3. She's an amazing author. That's it. I've read almost all of her books except for "The Bronze Bow"...she has written two of my favorite books. There is not one book she has written that is not a beautiful work of art.

Would you be able to buy an English copy to read off Amazon or another online site? I don't know if you have a kindle, but on Amazon the kindle version is free.

Has anyone read "Interrupted" or "Chasing Jupiter" by Rachel Coker?

No. Are they good?

I really love Elizabeth George Speare, too. My absolute favorite book by her has to The Witch of Blackbird Pond. I've read that book at least 5 times :)

One of my favorite Christian authors is Betsy St. Amant, she writes Christian Chicklit. I'm not a huge fan of secular chicklit, but I like it in the Christian category. Her writing is fun, and not preachy, which I appreciate. Her books have strong female characters and she places them in relatable situations.

Leona,
I haven't read "Chasing Jupiter" yet, but "Interrupted" is amazing! :D And Ms. Coker is a homeschool grad!

Cool! I'll see if my library has them.

I love Witch of Blackbird Pond! I am also definitely checking out Betsy St. Amant.

Cool!

I'll check Elizabeth George out. :D. Thanks for the suggestion.

Mrs. George writes wonderful books! Right now I'm reading A Young Woman After God's Own Heart, and it is great !!!

I just looked it up. Unfortunately it is in no libraries near me. :(. However, I will find a way to read it! :D

Good!

I love C.S Lewis's books too :) I think it's great that he combines fantasy with important Biblical lessons.

Yeah! I completely agree Rachel. :D

1. Karen Witemeyer (one of my favorites, at least)
2. Shoot! Either , , , or ! All her books are awesome!
3. The romance, and adventure, and faith in her books! And her heroes and heroines are amazing!

I read Addison Blakely: Confessions of a PK by her and really liked it. Have you read it?

I love Karen Witemeyer! She is definitely one of my favorite historical fiction authors.

I haven't read it yet, I am busy reading my other books right now, I'll look into it when I'n done with those.
