Here are this month’s favorite book recommendations. I hope you’ll be blessed by these! Please share some of your favorites in the comments.
Fiction –
Winning the Gentleman by Kristi Ann Hunter (KU)
A Regency book with horses – what could be better? I loved this story about a sister and brother who’ve lost everything except each other and her horse. The sister tricks her way into a job as a jockey, while her brother recovers from an injury. And, of course, she falls for the horse trainer. This story has compelling characters, fabulous horses, trick-riding, racing, and true love overcoming all obstacles. =) Seriously though, it’s one of my favorite books, and I reread it often.
Non-Fiction –
Catch a Star: Shining Through Adversity to Become a Champion by Tamika Catchings
I really enjoyed this memoir about Tamika’s life. She experienced numerous challenges and obstacles, both early on and later in life. She shares openly about those and the ways that she overcame to become a champion basketball player (including four Olympic gold medals). I appreciated her humble perspective throughout the book and her heart to serve others. For sports lovers, there’s plenty of basketball details in this book, but more importantly life lessons she’s learned and a testimony of God’s faithfulness.
Children’s –
Great Grammy’s Black Velvet Hat by Holli Bryce Fry
This is a sweet book that can help children with impending or recent loss of a loved one, especially a grandparent. In the story, little Lily visits her great-grammy every day. Each visit, Lily tries on a different hat from her grammy’s collection, and Lily learns more about her grammy’s life through them. After Grammy passes away, the family gathers together to honor her life. All the women in the family decide to wear one of grammy’s hats to remember what a special person she was. The story shares a simple gospel message as well, giving comfort to Lily that her grammy is now in heaven with Jesus.
(KU – available in Kindle Unlimited)
