Awesome! I have to say that Green Rider is one of my FAVORITE books (which is why it's on my list, lol!). It really is phenominal, and my copy is well worn from many readings. It was a stand alone book for years & then Kristen Britain wrote more...there are 4 books total in the series, BUT. Green Rider is the first & by far my favorite.

Same thing with Freedom's Landing . It is the first of a series of 4 books & it is my favorite. A little more sci-fi themed & some themes in the book are a little more mature, but it's an interesting series, for sure. Enjoy! :)

BTW- I know this isn't really the board for this, but do you have any recommendations for my reading list? Thanks!!

Thanks for the information! I truly don't need any more books for my to-read list, but I will definitely have to read those 2 and I love a good series.

Click on my Name and check out my many book lists. I try to write reviews for most of my books. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me. And if you want, you are more than welcome to "friend" me.

Welcome to GoodReads! You're going to love it!
