Book Recommendations 1.0

Wow! It's been awhile since I've posted! Well, I was recently inspired to do a list of book recommendations by Marklessgirl (you can find her list on her blog here: http://thelibraryinmyroom.blogspot.com/ )  So, here are my book recommendations:

1. Anne of Green Gables: This is an eight book series, but the first ones is the absolute best!  It is actually my favorite book (besides the Bible) of all time! I love it! It will make you laugh, and most likely make you cry! It's a beautiful book about a redheaded orphan, and her new home at Green Gables!

2. Little Women: My second favorite work of fiction is by Louisa May Alcott. It's about four sisters during the Civil War.  Their father is away at war, and they live at home with their mother.  They meet their neighbor the Laurence Boy and have all sorts of adventures.  It really is a wonderful book, and there are two more in the series after it, but their not nearly as good.

3. The Bambi Books by Felix Salten: If you love animals, and hate animal cruelty, then these are the books for you! Though now classified as childrens books, they weren't originally written just for children.  The writing style is unique, unlike any I've read.  But they are really beautiful books.

4. The Little House Series: So, you've most likely watched the show, Little House on the Prairie, but have you read the books?  The books are way better, they messed a lot of things up in the show. Even though the writing style is really simple, I find myself still re-reading these books to this day! They wonderful and if you are a fan of illustrations in books, then you will get your fill of them in these!

5. The Hobbit: You've most likely heard of this book before.  Maybe you've watched the movies...maybe you just thought the book sounded boring...let me tell you: pick this book up now! It's amazing! The common opinion is that it's a children's book, but in reality, J.R.R. Tolkien was frustrated when people kept classifying it as a kids book.

6. The Lord of the Rings: Could you guess this was going to be next on the list? This book is truly epic! There is great adventure in it and I've read it almost 4 times! It never gets boring! It's quite a challenge, but a great accomplishment if you finish it!

7. The Chronicles of Narnia: A children's series, but timeless classics! This is one of my all-time favorite series and they are beautiful! My particular favorite is 'The Silver Chair', but there are lots of other favorites of mine! I adore this book and have adored them since I was 9 or 10 years old.

8. Wonder: The popular children's book by R.J. Palacio is one of my favorites! I read this in less then 24 hours, which is really fast for me! It's great! It's a book about a kid with a major face deformity who goes through bullying and losing friends.  Truly inspiring read and I highly recommend it!

9. Annie, Between the States by L.M. Elliott: This book is set in the Civil War Era. It's a great piece of historical fiction and I love it! In fact, I really want to reread it soon!

10. The Swipe Series by Evan Angler: This is a Christian dystopian, and it's fantastic! I won't go into to many details, but I'll just say that it's quite amazing! I personally didn't care for the last book in the series (I think there are supposed to be more, actually), but you may.  The first 3 books are really great though, and if you like lots of action and dystopian fiction, then I highly recommend this series!

So, those are my book recommendations! Maybe, in the future, I'll do another one!
