October Book Recommendations

Here are this month’s book recommendations. I hope they’ll be a blessing to you. Happy reading! 

 

Fiction – 

Never Doubt a Duke by Regina Scott

If you like Regency romance with a little mystery, you’ll enjoy this fun story about a widow-turned governess. After her years married to a cavalry officer, Jane is rough around the edges – and not what the duke expects as a governess. But she’s exactly what the widower and his daughters need. This story has humor, fun characters, a little villainy, a unicorn (with a little imagination), and a happily ever after. 

 

Non-Fiction – 

Finding Grace by Larry Randolph 

I really enjoyed this memoir about a man who started a therapy dog ministry. The book follows his story from when God first spoke the words “therapy dogs” to him, through more than a decade of service, and gradually building a global ministry. Some of the experiences he shared brought tears, and others made me laugh. This book is an encouraging read about the unexpected and meaningful things God can do through us when we willingly follow His voice.

 

Children’s – 

The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis 

This is my favorite of all the Narnia books! The story follows an orphan boy who sets out to find Narnia with the help of a talking horse. Along the way, he makes new friends, gets mistaken for a prince, has to cross a desert, is chased by a lion, and ultimately helps save Archenland from invasion. This classic story is one I enjoy rereading often!
