What was y’all favorite book you’ve read recently? Mines gotta be tbona💙

One Night Only was such a good book. I enjoyed it so much.

Once upon a broken heart by Stephanie Gardner

Either kotlc or WINGFEATHER!

LOL I'll have to look into Wingfeather. You talk about it so much, it better be good.

Hehe it is my friend is starting to read it and she is saying it’s boring the first one kinda is slow but it gets better at the end and the next book is always better that the last!!!!!!

Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood

I really enjoyed Not Quite Dead Yet by Holly Jackson. It was such a fun read, and it even made me cry, which I definitely wasn’t expecting. I’d highly recommend it if you’re into mystery books at all!

I’ll take any recs that make me cry! 😅 I feel like I don’t cry easily with books, but I’m always looking for ones that will break me 😂 Once Upon A Broken Heart was definitely different than what I normally read. (I like contemporary and romantasy). It was very whimsical and fairytale-ish. But I liked it! I haven’t started the second book yet, but I’m going to sometime soon lol

It looks like a good read, I'm excited to get to it. I'm glad you enjoyed it! I don't even know why I cried at not quite dead yet other than I really could relate to the main character and idk. Moment of weakness I guess lol

I feel like I cry the most with Christian fiction bc I can relate the most to it. The faith content, the questions about faith, and struggles the main characters deal with is so relatable

I actually haven't delved into much Christian fiction tbh. I only just started to get back into reading after years of not liking it. Anything you'd recommend?

Christian fiction romance is a tricky one bc I find most of it really cheesy and I haven’t read a WHOLE lot since I just really got into it last year. 😅 BUT some of my favs:

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers (historical romance, based on the book of Hosea in the Bible)
Muir Harbor trilogy by Melissa Tagg (contemporary romance with a seaside/small town vibe and a little mystery)
Before I Called You Mine by Nicole Deese (contemporary romance, super cute!)

I just read a really cool book called Twelve and a Half Summers. It was so sweet. It was a romance that was clean, but you still got the butterflies. It made me cry because it was so beautiful. It wasn’t sad or anything but the reveal was absolutely crazy. I really recommend if you like friends to lovers, clean romance, baking, or out of collage age characters.

Whoops, making a fourth post. Nicole Deese is one of my favourite Christian writers, partly because she's not cheesy.

I recently finished Land Of Silence from Thessa Afshar. It is about the bleeding women, which the bible talks about in the New Testament. I cried multiple times. It was wonderful, touching and had amazing romance. It is such a good rec, you will hae finished this within a few days!

It sounds like a very interesting book! I love the summary when I read it. I think the perspective sounds like it would be insightful.
