Fiction
Read with wonder
Okay for Now by Gary D. Schmidt
Gary D. Schmidt. He is now, in my mind, of the same genius as Charles Dickens. His writing is gorgeous, and it creeps up behind you when you’re not looking.
Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt
It’s light-hearted but by the end, it’s deep. And beautiful. And moving. I teared up twice in the last third of the book
A Place to Hang the Moon by Kate Albus
So many words so little space.
Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
Reading a new author can be a scary thing.
Chosen of the Tapestry by Laura Cheever
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Originally intended for a newspaper audience, these stories are great ones to read out loud or side-by-side with your older kids.
Whose Waves These Are
The rough Maine landscape paired with the soft-hearted love found in these characters’ lives was so refreshing.
What Comes of Attending the Commoner’s Ball
A whimsical dip into cozy fantasy, you will fall in love with the spark and delight in What Comes of Attending the Commoner’s Ball by Elisabeth Aimee Brown.
An Enchanted April
A delightful spring read!
A Bond of Briars
My favorite book from the award-winning author Erin Phillips.
