Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

The 'Through the Decades' challenge focus for June is the 1960s. You are welcome to include books published in this decade as well as books set in this decade. I am also 'counting' books ABOUT events in the decade as set in said decade.

(For those who would like to keep track, a thread for all the year's Through the Decades books can be found here.)

for the 1960s focus, I plan on reading All We Thought We Knew

I plan to read . It takes place in 1967.

I'm in! I think this decade has fewer options that the prior decades (1910-1950), but there are some good ones for sure.

I would love some ideas! I have books planned for every month but this one. The only possibility I have is . Hoping to find either a novella or more of a light read set in the 60's, because some of my other books planned for the month are heavier or thrillers.

Here are novels I've read and enjoyed that are set in the 1960s:

I see Staci beat me to it! 😊

Glad to assist Kate! I'm sure there are other ideas as well.

Thank you!

I'm in and hope to read at least one of the following:

(6/2/25) (6/6/25) (6/12/25)

The ones by Susan Woods Fisher provides the time period during the story.

Just finished this one now and really enjoyed it!

Read my first one:
(set in 1964)

well done!

Got my first two - they also fit this month's focus and my genre for this month.

(6/2/25) - set in 1968
(6/6/25) - includes letters written during the Vietnam War

Score Karen!

Thanks, Staci. They were both very quick reads but really good reads.

good job!

I finished , set in 1967.

Finished my third book - (6/12/25) - primarily set in 1968

(6/12) takes place in 1962

well done!

Read these two…. (1960 setting) and (1963 setting)

good job!

Read a second book:
(published in 1964)

love it!

Just finished:
(published in 1965)

I thought I would have a tough time with this decade, but ended up reading three. Note only one is CF.

Non-Fiction, small amount of foul language

General Market, some foul language

nice!

Getting a late start on this one, but am reading

Final book, one I started six years ago and finally finished:
(about the 1960s)

well done!
