Brandon Sanderson Books???

@nova21 I have not read any of Brandon Sanderson’s books…but I can give you random recommendations! I highly recommend Bryan Davis’s Dragons in Our Midst and Oracles of Fire series. Some of my favorite fantasy series. Christian, too.

I have actually never heard of Brandon Sanderson, so I wouldn’t be the best person to give you a recommendation for that 😂

But I will recommend to you my favorite books that you absolutely NEED to read if you haven’t already!

1. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This is my favorite fiction book, I absolutely LOVE it! It will change your life, seriously. It changed mine.

2. The Two from Galilee trilogy by Marjorie Holmes. The books (in order) are called Two from Galilee, Three from Galilee, and The Messiah. They’re fictional retellings of the life of Jesus Christ. The first is Mary and Joseph’s love story; the second is Jesus’ “silent years” of childhood and young manhood; and the third is Jesus’ public ministry. These books are wonderful and they make Jesus and his family and friends SO real! I definitely recommend reading them – in fact, they’re what inspired me to write Biblical fiction myself.

3. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Set during the Holocaust, this book is really moving and really sad!

4. The entire Anne of Green Gables series. There are eight books in all. (Well, there’s actually a ninth, The Blythes are Quoted, but the themes in that book are quite a bit darker than L.M. Montgomery’s usual work, so I don’t usually recommend it to people. Unless you don’t mind darker themes, but the book was a little too dark for my taste.) Anyways, the series is so so so good and I definitely recommend it! My top favorites are Rilla of Ingleside (book #8); Rainbow Valley (book #7); and, of course, Anne of Green Gables (book #1).

Those are just some random recommendations of books I LOVE! I think you should totally give them a try.

Ok, here aer some of mine:

• Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson: I love this series. Probably some of the best modern books I’ve read. As far as content, there is very little potty humor on a VERY small scale (and it’s between little boys, so it doesn’t feel useless because it’s something young boys would do (no offense to any guys reading this)), and some moments that, cinematically, would be disturbing, but in a book, not so much. But look out for your eyes: there are some moments in the story that made me cry. All in all, very sweet with a deep theme and amazing characters (including a person with mental disabilities who is my favorite ❤*fond smiling over memories*). Also, there are plenty of instances for a good laugh and it is targeted for all-ages, kind of like Chronicles of Narnia.
• Phantastes By George MacDonald: This one is awesome. C.S. Lewis said that it ‘baptized his imagination’ he read it before he became a Christian and in my mind it is an awesome example of a good fantasy novel. There is vague mentioning of witchcraft that a character in a story the MC reads uses, but it is not lauded, and there is kissing that happens and hugging. this book was intended for adult readers and is awesome. Also, it is one of the novels that shaped the fantasy genre as we know it today. (i also recommend this author’s children’s stories, i haven’t read them all, but all the ones i’ve read are good).
• Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. Must read. Exposes many of the way Satan tries to tempt us.

I whole-heartedly recommend Brandon Sanderson’s Steelheart, Firefight, adn Calamaity (all three books of the Reckoners Trilogy) THEY ARE AMAZING!!
