MormonReads discussion

Hi. I just joined your group and am glad to be here. I love to read and am so glad to have found out about Goodreads. I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions of good, clean fiction books to read, that aren't necessarily LDS fiction.

Welcome! We're glad to have you.

What kind of books do you like? Mysteries, romance, general fiction, historical? I have LOTS of books on my shelf and you can ask me about any of them. One mystery writer I really enjoy is Alexander McCall Smith. I like the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series best, by far.

I also like the Mitford books by Jan Karon. They are about a preacher, so there is a little theology in there, but the stories and the characters are good. The first one is At Home in Mitford.

I really like Jeanette Oke. Her books are Christian fiction, and talk a lot about what it was like to live in the 1800's.

I'm a big Janette Oke fan. I was quite surprised when they started making movie out of her Love Comes Softly series. They're not too bad, but, of course, the books are better.
