Someone recommended Ted Dekker’s books to me. Have any of you read anything by him? What would be the first novel of his that I should start with? 🤔

I’m getting Edmund Pevensie vibes… 🤔👀

At first I thought Lilli disappearing was a simple accident, now I’m reconsidering… 🕵️🤨👀

Tell me one book you recommend. Doesn’t matter the age or why or anything. Just one book you enjoy! 🎉🥳

I was thrilled to meet Mrs Leiloglou at a writer’s conference this past summer. It’s so neat being able to finally read her book - what an incredible concept! 🎨💕

Jakim… 😭😭

We have hit the “All is Lost”. The writers know. 😭

Jakim is currently my favorite POV of the three. 🤩

1/3 of the way through this book and I’m finally beginning to get a grip on the world building… wow! 🤩

And finally this crazy world building is making sense… wow. 🤩

And the stakes just continue to increase… 🤩

The world building is so well done! My head is spinning trying to take it all in, but I love it!

Wow. The prologue has hooked me.

Well, 2025 didn’t see me reaching 120 books, but I did get 118. Should I set the bar higher or lower for 2026? Still deciding…

117 books read this year! I’m trying to decide if I should read 3 more before New Year’s and make it an even 120. 😂

I’ve actually never had a chance to read this classic, but loving it so far!

I somehow got the “Large Print” copy from the library. It’s like 16-pt. 🙄

Douglas Bond’s books never cease to amaze me with their historical information! John Knox a galley slave? And we were just introduced to Hugh Latimer. But yikes… sometimes knowing which of these men was martyred makes it so much sadder reading about their lives. So powerful. So impactful.

Is “The Space Triology” by C. S. Lewis worth reading (in your opinion)? I have read “Out of the Silent Planet”. Should I finish the series?…

What is happening??! The POV switches are brilliant and yet scaring me so bad…

I still have no idea how this series will end!

These books are such a good example of humor and gravity clashing to create an epic portal fantasy allegory. I can honestly say that I have no idea how this series will end… 😆

After reading this story, you’ll never look at the book of Philemon the same way again… So good!
