Book Recs

As someone who grew up in a Christian homeschooling family, I know first-hand that desperate search for good, uplifting literature! And while there are tons of books that recommend classic (old) books, there is not much out there for the newer (and often self-published) books.

The below list is full of books that I have either read personally or have been suggested to me by a trusted friend. Most (if not all) of the authors are Christians, and all the books will be clean and written to encourage, uplift, and entertain (not preach) to readers.
