CHRISTIAN FICTION BOOKS we read this month || CLEAN Adult and YA book RECOMMENDATIONS || Feb 2022 

You guys should do a video about your all time favorite books😃

I loved your reviews!! I definitely have a recommendation!! One of my absolute FAVORITE books is called The Mystery of the Radcliffe Riddle by Taryn Souders. While it's a middle grade novel, i believe anyone can read it! It's an incredible book that is very emotionally intuitive (at least to me) and definitely is a super fun read. The author is a Christian and her writing style is so wonderful. It is playful, fun and recognizes that kids can feel just as much as teens and adults can. It's definitely a book you can really get into! It'll be lighthearted for younger readers, yet mature enough for older ones. 100/10 recommend!

Love this! So glad to hear from others who feel the same way. I really believe books needs to have content warnings on the back like movies because there have been countless times where I've picked up fiction books that I thought would be good and wholesome and it turns out that's not the case at all. It's gotten to the point where I try to vet the books really well before jumping in since there is a lot out there now filled with bad content. If you're a christian or looking to stay away from sex in books or profanity, stay away from Colleen Hoover, Jenny Colgan, John Green, Marcus Zusak (the book thief) Louise Penny, Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn, Janet Evanovich, to name a few. One rule of thumb I go by now, is if it's wildly popular, it most likely is filled with garbage. Some authors I've read that I've not had issues with are Debbie Macomber, Fannie Flag, Joanne Fluke, Paige Shelton, Amanda Flower. I've really enjoyed their books. I've been reading alot of cozy mystery books and have found these to be clean for the most part. Cozy mysteries are great because they have cozy setting, a mystery involved, usually with a woman as the sleuth and doesn't have bad language or it's pretty mild. Agatha Christie is one of my favorite mystery authors. She's great. I'd like to give christian fiction more of a chance. I'm a believer and have found some of the christian fiction I've read to air on the cheesy or preachy side but I'll still take this any day over the bad stuff out there. I will say I want to read Janette Oak's books and enjoyed This Present Darkness by Peretti. In the future, I'm considering starting a blog with a list of clean books and ones to avoid to help people out. One more thing. Richard Paul Evans books are great and especially as audio books :)

I absolutely love these types of videos you guys make ❤️❤️ hope you keep them coming 🥰

I've made the same commitment about no language in books! High five :) Also, I've written two Christian/fiction/mystery books! A Change in the Winds and Eye of the Storm. if you'd like a copy, let me know!

This was great! I love that your family encourages reading. Great parenting IMO. 🙂

Have you read the “If I Run” series by Terri Blackstock or “Good Clean Murder: A Plain Jane Mystery” series by Traci Tyne Hilton?

I just read the Delusion! Such a good book!!

❤

Your hair is super cute, Toni🥰

How do you both look for books at the library?

It always baffles me when people are totally cool with violence and murder in their media, but an adult character swearing is a step too far.

I love that you are doing this with your daughter. I will be referencing to this, make sure you have a playlist of the series.

I’m a young woman who’s homeschooled (and loves it) it’s always fun to find other homeschool families. I also love reading but I’ve been having a hard time finding an in between with the new modern romances and fiction books AND full on Christian theology books. But I still want clean books. This was a helpful and fun video 😊

I don’t Iike how you look your daughter when she explained and how you didn’t show her approbation of what she said. Sorry

Why is it that "bad words" stop you reading a book?

Hi, I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I found your channel while I was searching for clean books to read. I used to read more in my 20's and since watching the movie Pride & Prejudice (2005 version) last fall I've wanted to read more. The movie inspired me to read the book because I felt like something was being left out and I was right. I know most movies are based on the book and now I've been bit by the book bug! Have you read any of Richard Paul Evans books? I've only read one so far titled "A Winter Dream". It's sort of like the bible story of Joseph and his 12 brothers. I loved it and made me want to read more of his books. I was gifted 3 used paperbacks but not read them yet. Some of his books are Hallmark movies.

I look forward to these every month! Yay! Yes...I always want to try "blind date with a book", but have never picked one up for the same reasons as you. I am reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue right now. I am over halfway. It is a long one for me. Good for you sticking to your standards! ❤

That’s too bad about the audio book! I had that happen too recently. I played an audio book on a road trip…for about ten minutes. 😮. Nice job with the mother/daughter approach.

Thanks 😊

Love these book videos!!😊

Yay yay yay!

I love this series!

I felt the same about the Invisible Life… I absolutely loved it!!!!!!! I hated having to stop it due to language and lifestyle choices.

Yay! The girls are BAAAAACK!
