101 Titles

Posted on 14:25 by retino
"I declare, after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything but a book!"   ~Jane Austen

 As you probably have guessed by now, I am an avid reader. There are few things I delight in more than a good book! I just love reading about different eras and different places, getting to know and love the characters, rejoicing at their triumphs, laughing at their mishaps, grieving at their sorrows. (Yes, I have been known to cry while reading especially tear-jerking books. But that's alright.) :P
  I have compiled a list of books to read, following the example of Emma Woodhouse, although I couldn't come up with 101 books that I even wanted to read, so I have narrowed it down to 15. : ) Here they are:
 (And by the way, don't you just LOVE the covers of Christian historical fiction?!) ;D

   Emma's Fifteen Titles to Read

   The Heroines Behind the Lines series by Jocelyn Green




 The American Tapestries series by various authors


                                                Queen of the Waves by Janice Thompson


                                                 Where the Trail Ends by Melanie Dobson


                                                   Always Remembered by Janelle Mowrey


                                                       A Lady's Choice by Sandra Robbins


                                            The Courier of Caswell Hall by Melaine Dobson
         

                                            The Journey of Josehpine Cain by Nancy Moser

  The Lancaster Burning series by Linda Byler





 Book 1 in the Hearts Seeking Home series by Mona Hogdson



Book 1 in the Homeward Journey series by Martha Rogers





                                            Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker by Jennifer Chiaverini

              Bid Time Return (also known as Somewhere in Time : ) by Richard Matheson


                                                  Stealing the Preacher by Karen Witemeyer

  Oh, and also: I'm sure y'all have heard about Google getting rid of Google Friend Connect? Yes, I know, it's just terrible. Anyway, it seems the only other way to keep following blogs is with this thing called Bloglovin, which I have tried to sign up for, but for some reason it doesn't work. For some reason unbeknownst to me it won't accept my user name (Emma Jane), and if I click "sign in" at the top of the site, nothing happens. So, if anyone with any expertise on the subject could help me at all with it, I should be exceedingly obliged!

Have you ever read any of these books?
What sort of books do you like to read?
