Five Fall Favorites: Day Four ~ Fantasy
Ahh, we've arrived at one of my favorite spots around the Literary Lodge: the place for the bonfires. There's something about a warm, cheery blaze burning in the great outdoors that delights me. Perhaps it's due partly because, when my siblings and I were younger, we loved to build our own little indoor bonfires using an orange-tinted cup and flashlight. Sometimes we'd talk of roasting marshmallows and falling asleep by the "fire." Well, today at the Lodge we're doing just this: enjoying a s'more or two, drinking some fresh-made hot cocoa, and continuing our lovely book talk a safe distance away from the dancing embers. :D
The genre I'm picking from today is clean, Christian fantasy. (because I'm woefully behind in reading holiday books. xD)
THE GIRL WHO COULD SEEHighly unbelievable? Yes. Sometimes hard to understand? Yes. Highly addicting? Absolutely. Kara Swanson is such a talented author. You have to read this book for the writing style, if nothing else. Kara excels at drawing the reader in by "showing, not telling." Some of my own work has been inspired by her.
FAWKESGahhhhh, from the first sentence Fawkes had my undivided attention. I've never cried over a book before, but I came near doing so more than once as the story went on. Gripping and emotional, with a satisfactory ending. 
FAIREST SON Oh my. The Gospel message was so clearly portrayed through this book. It had my heart within the first few pages. <3
THE RELUCTANT GODFATHERA retelling of the well-known Cinderella story but from a different viewpoint. For those of you who love a good laugh + engaging writing style/plot line, this book is for you! 
THE TORCH KEEPERSThis book is one of my all-time favorites! A Christian fantasy just begging to find a place on your shelf and in your heart. <3 Read my full review HERE.There're only two days left to enter the giveaway, m'friends!
