One Writer’s Booklist
I’m not the bookworm that my mom and sisters are, but I do love a good read every once in awhile. Once I hit a book I love, I will read it over and over. Here is one writer’s booklist!
Millie Keith series by Martha Finely
I love these because I can relate so much to the main character, and it’s just like having a strong Christian friend from another time period.
Little Women by Louisa may Alcott
My favorite classic! I love the everyday lives of the four sisters. Elegant, charming Amy is my favorite character (when she’s all grown up. 
)
Betsy, Tacy, Tib series by Maud Hart Lovelace
This series begins when Betsy, Tacy and Tib are about five, and ends when they are married, so I grew up with these fun, imaginative girls!
Laddie by Gene Stratton-Porter
I adore books about large families. This one is all through the perspective of the youngest sister. All the dynamics, drama, and humor that go with a big family will entertain me to no end.
Faith in the Fury by Jana Busenitz
Definitely a page-turner from start to finish! It’s another exciting, realistic book about a large family.
Cheaper by the Dozen by Frank B. Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey
This book has me in stitches! It’s a hilarious, true account of a family with a dozen children.
The Family Nobody Wanted by Helen Doss
Helen Doss writes about her real family that adopted children from different ethnic backgrounds and races. I fell in love with all the cute little kids.
The Rivers of Judah by Catherine Farnes
This book is about a modern-day church that struggles and grows together. It’s written through a PK teen girl’s perspective.
The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom
True, captivating story set during World War II. Corrie and Betsy’s courage and sacrifice to protect Jews change many lives.
Jane Austen Stories
I don’t even know what to say about them—they’re just the perfect love stories! So full of a complicated plot, depth, love drama and realistic emotions. I am always quoting them.
A Young Woman after God’s Own Heart by Elizabeth George
This book encouraged me on the basics of growing in my Christian walk. I read it for the first time this summer, and it was a great refresher on how I should be living, and cultivating a heart that belongs to the Lord.
