1. 100 Pound Loser by Jessica Heights (e-book)

2. Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris

3. Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis by Lauren F. Winner - I am still sorting my feelings on this particular tome. I feel kind of like I did after Julie and Julia – I really liked the writing, but I don’t particularly like the narrator. Which makes me sort of ambivalent. But watching Winner struggle with faith is an interesting journey.

4. The Amish Midwife by Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould - I LOVE Clark, and this book was no exception. What’s not to like? Amish life. Birthing babies. A family mystery.

5. There You’ll Find Me by Jenny B. Jones - After reading Jones’s exceptional Katie Parker YA series last year, I might be on a mission to read all of her books. She touches something that’s not usually found in YA fiction, especially of the Christian variety – truth, real life, with a good dash of humor.
