Five Fall Favorites – Day Three | Giveaway!

Published on September 28, 2016 by Amanda Tero19 Comments

Welcome into the BOOK room today! (if you’ve been reading all the way through and paying attention… the book room is where the giveaways are happening!

So, today I am super happy, pleased, and excited to host a giveaway! The prize? An eBook of your choice from yours truly (keep scrolling down for a chance to win paperback books!).

Those are just my novellas, but I have several short stories as well. To enter, you must comment. But let’s make this a little fun. Tell me your favorite book (wow, so original… okay, but it’s better than, “I’d love to win.” 😉 )! The giveaway will end TONIGHT, so you’ve got to get your comment in quickly! 🙂

But first, I don’t want you to skim through these amazing books I’ve got picked out today — because seriously, biography and non-fiction are extremely underrated. Seriously.

5 Favorite Biography Books

So these are both biography and auto-biography, but I really, really like them all! The past two days, I’ve put some books that were “alright” on my list, but these five? I love them and heartily recommend them!

1) Evidence Not Seen by Darlene Diebler Rose

2) Chappie (this one has a special place in my heart, as it’s my uncle’s story) by Alton Carpenter and A. Anne Eiland

3) God’s Smuggler by Brother Andrew with John and Elizabeth Sherrill

4) A Bride Goes West by Nannie T. Alderson and Helena Huntington Smith

5) Forgiven by Terri Roberts

5 Favorite Non-fiction Books

Now for 5 non-fiction books that aren’t biographies. 😉 Everyone else is doing fantasy, but I’m not a fantasy reader, so I chose these instead. 😀 Most of these, yes, have to do directly with my writing.

1) Self-Editing on a Penny

2) Everyday Life During the Civil War

3) Understanding Exposure

4) Civil War Journal of a Union Soldier

5) The Art and Craft of Writing Christian Fiction by Jeff Gerke

5 Other Blogs

Five Fall Favorites – Day Two

Published on September 27, 2016 by Amanda Tero13 Comments

Welcome to day two of our “Five Fall Favorites” party! Grab a blanket, get all cozy, as we discuss romance and historical reads. Don’t forget — I like to hear which books are your favorites in these genres too, so be sure to comment!

5 Favorite Romance Books

This one is probably the hardest genre for me, as I am not exactly sure what classifies as “romance.” If you’ve followed my review for any length of time, you probably noticed that I usually say something like, “It was great, but the romance…” 😉 So, I suppose I’m going to choose five books that I liked that have romance in them. They may or may not be classified as “romance” though.

1) Wings of a Dream by Anne Mateer

2) A Dream Not Imagined by Shantelle Mary Hannu

3) The Lost Heiress by Roseanna White

4) The Sound of Diamonds by Rachelle Rea Cobb

5) Playing the Part by Jen Turano

5 Historical Fiction

Historical fiction is by far my favorite genre to read (and, actually, most of the books that I read…). So here goes! (I’m limited to only five…)

1) An Elegant Facade by Kristi Ann Hunter

2) Beyond the Silence by Tracie Peterson and Kimberly Woodhouse

3) Seasons of the Heart (series) by Janette Oke

4) Where Can I Flee? by A.M. Heath

5) Lily of the Valley by Faith Blum

Five Fall Favorites – Day One

Published on September 26, 2016 by Amanda Tero27 Comments

This week is going to be fabulous fun! 🙂 I am linking up with five other bloggers and we’re all going to spend a week with our favorite books!

But we want you to join in the bookish fun too! Every day there is a giveaway going on one of the blogs.

Oh wait. Did you miss the invitation? Here ya go…

Now that you are invited, come on in to the bench room! Take a seat and enjoy a good book or two (or ten or more!) with me! And, as I’m discussing my favorite books, be thinking about your own favorites! I love to hear about more books, so take these genres and tell me — which are your favorites in these genres?

5 Favorite Mystery Books

I’m going to define “mystery” as a book that has an aspect mystery in it. I used to read a lot of mystery books when I was younger, but I’m not sure that I really have read any books specifically “mystery” in the past few years.

1) Kate’s Innocence by Sarah Holman

2) Ring of Secrets by Roseanna White

3) The Daughters of Jim Farrell by Sylvia Bambola

4) Anchor in the Storm by Sarah Sundin

5) The Northwood Series and The Freedom Seekers Series by Lois Walfrid Johnson

5 Favorite Christian Fiction Books

This being my favorite genre, it is downright impossible to narrow it down to five. So I’m just naming five that I liked…

1) Room for Hope by Kim Vogel Sawyer

2) From the Dark to the Dawn by Alicia Willis

3) A Woman Name Damaris by Janette Oke

4) A Time of Grace series (The Fragrance of Geraniums, All our Empty Places, A Love to Come Home To) by Alicia Ruggieri

5) The Old River Road
