September Book Recommendations

Here are some favorite book recommendations for this month. Please share about some of your favorites as well.

 

Fiction – 

A Fool & His Monet by Sandra Orchard (KU)

If you enjoy mysteries, this one is quite a puzzle to figure out. I liked the main character, who has a sense of humor, a passion for catching art thieves, and a desire to honor God with her life. There’s a hint of romance in the story, but mainly it’s a fast-paced journey of unraveling a complicated case of missing art masterpieces and several potential suspects. Of course, there’s also a lazy cat, a sleuthing great-aunt, and a best friend in need of help. It’s a fun and challenging mystery story.

 

Non-Fiction – 

Bridge Called Hope: Stories of Triumph from the Ranch of Rescued Dreams by Kim Meeder

This collection of true stories about rescued horses and the people they have impacted is a powerful read. If you like horses and stories about how God uses them to touch lives, you’ll enjoy this book. Kim is an eloquent writer who shares deeply from her own heart and offers God’s hope to those who desperately need it.

 

Children’s – 

Mooses with Bazookas – And Other Stories Children Should Never Read by S. D. Smith (KU)

This was the first book I’d read by this author, and at times I laughed out loud until I cried! I guess that means I’m still a kid at heart…or maybe that I just appreciate a well-written book of ridiculousness. There are a few different stories of various lengths, bracketed with letters from a man stranded on a desert island. All of it, including the endorsements, is filled with silliness, satire, spunk, and not a few double negatives. If you need a dose of comic relief or your kids enjoy funny stories, then this book is for you.

 

(KU – available in Kindle Unlimited)
