Five Fall Favorites: Day Five ~ Instructional Non-Fiction

As our week at the Literary Lodge begins to draw to an end, there're only a few places around here left to visit! Today, I have the privilege of taking you all to the orchard to pick (and eat!) some crisp, juicy apples. So, grab a bushel basket, and we'll be on our way! Perhaps we'll have a bit of time to sit and read beneath a tree smothered in fresh, pink-and-white apple blossoms? I sure hope so!

While we make our way to the orchard, let's take a moment to look at our genre for today: instructional non-fiction. 

THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO GETTING YOUR BOOK PUBLISHEDI was assigned to write my first-ever research paper a couple years ago, and I knew almost immediately what I wanted the topic to be about: publishing. This book was a HUGE help as I prepared my manuscript and brainstormed ideas. It's fun, it's factual, and it helped get me an A on my paper. ;D WRITERS ROUNDUPOf course I couldn't get through the week without mentioning a book by my favorite author, could I?? You can read my full review for Writers Roundup HERE.
THE HOLY BIBLE Best instructional non-fiction book in the world. And that's all that needs to be said. <3
EXPERIENCING GODOnly last year, what at first looked to be a dull school project quickly transformed into a challenge. A challenge to my faith, to my life, to my soul. By reading this book and completing the study included I discovered new things about God and about myself that have changed me forever. I'm of the opinion that Christian teenagers (and adults!) everywhere need to read Henry Blackaby's Experiencing God ~ Student Edition.  SOUTHERN LIVING: 30 YEARS OF OUR BEST RECIPESNo, I don't cook, but my mom does, and believe me, these excellent recipes combined with my mom's special touch = pure heaven. <3
Aaaand, that's all for today, folks! Come back tomorrow for our final genre + the announcement of the giveaway winner! I hope you all have been enjoying your time at the Lodge; I know I have. :D
