Restorer's Son - Sharon Hinck

Recommended
There are very few sequel books in a series which are better than their predecessor. Restorer's Son, by Sharon Hinck, is one of these books. My opinion of the first book in the Sword of Lyric series, The Restorer, was average at best. Thankfully, the second book in the series more than evens the score out.

Fairest - Gail Carson Levine

Recommended
Gail Carson Levine has put her own spin on a familiar fairy tale, and has brought the story of Snow White into a new and intriguing light. When Lucinda the fairy gives a magical mirror as a gift to the queen of Ayortha, it wreaks havoc in the life of young Aza: an Ayorthan girl with a spectacular singing voice, but a less than attractive face. The consequences of the gift go far beyond what anyone could have possibly foreseen.

The Restorer - Sharon Hinck

Recommended
I’ve had The Restorer, by Sharon Hinck, recommended to me by several people recently, and I read ItB's review from 2010, but I'm only just now reading the book. I wanted to like it, and I did, for the most part, but it's not exactly an outstanding book.

Gods and Generals - Jeff Shaara

Recommended
Gods and Generals by Jeff Shaara, is a book I’ve long wanted to read. The movie based off of this book is my favorite movie of all time, and I’ve seen it at least a million times. Knowing that the movies are very closely based on the books, I decided to give this a read. For the most part, I wasn’t disappointed.

Love Works - Joel Manby

Recommended
Have you ever wondered how effective leading with love is? Sometimes, it seems like it doesn't matter. But it does. I remember how my favourite teachers all taught/led with love, and no one ever likes the power-obsessed ones.

The Buried Pyramid - Jane Lindskold

Not recommended
The Buried Pyramid, by Jane Lindskold, was a free book I picked up off of the internet for my nook reader. I tend to be skeptical of “free” books, but as I began to read, The Buried Pyramid actually seemed to be some good. By about two-thirds of the way through, with a few minor qualms, I was actually really enjoying the book. Then my opinion abruptly changed: read on to find out why this book isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

It's (Not That) Complicated - Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin

Recommended

Is it possible for a girl to have healthy, sane, and pure relationships with guys? If so, how? How can a girl avoid the very real dangers in a friendship with a boy? What does the Bible have to say about how young men and young women should treat each other? Are these matters really as complicated as they seem?

In their new book It’s (Not That) Complicated, Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin again shine light in an area that is dark for many conservative Christian girls. They pull from their own experience, the Scriptures, their father’s teachings, and their brother’s marriages, as well as the opinions and preferences of godly young men. The result is a candid, humorous, insightful book for Christian young ladies everywhere who are asking, “What does a godly guy/girl relationship really look like?”

Afterlives of the Saints - Colin Dickey

Recommended
Have you heard of hagiography? It's a genre referring to the writing of the lives of the saints. Honestly, I didn't know about this genre until I read Afterlives of the Saints by Colin Dickey.
