Christian and historical non-fiction. I love them both.

This was one of the very first Christian Non-fiction books I read after salvation. I usually put only new reads on this page but sometimes, you gotta add the best of the best.

My all time favorite Christian Non-fiction Arthur. Not only do I recommend reading Strange Fire, listen to the series on gty.org also. Truth, John MacArthur teaches and preaches the Truth. Love it.
Strange Fire

Book #3 of The Texas Murder Files. (I actually read this one first and wasn't lost so I believe these are ok to be read like a standalone.)

This was the debut for A. J. Finn and it was certainly an excellent debut. Loved the book; couldn't finish the movie.
The Woman in the Window|Paperback

Rose Wells profile picture
I'm not sure why I was hesitant at the first; I cannot remember because I became absorbed in this story; I had to know the truth, how it all would end. I stayed up through the wee hours on a work night to finish this one. Great debut from this author...
Middletide: A Novel|Hardcover
 
Rose Wells profile picture
This was one of my first Book of The Month reads. For a debut work, this was an incredibly captivating thriller. I believe the narrator in this is referred to as an unreliable narrator. Highly recommend this thriller with a shocking twist.

Horror/Paranormal

Anyone else love a good scare occasionally? I love something that can compete with my nightmares for a scare factor.

This thriller is supernatural! I loved it. I'm not into spoilers because that just ruins a good book. But the surprises surprise. Check it out.

Definitely recommend reading The Shining whether you've already watched the movie or not. There's so much more to the book and it's so good; don't miss out because you've "seen the movie." Same for Dr. Sleep.

Women's Fiction

Some of these may lean more or less toward romance but I feel they are more fitting in this category; either, they're great reads in my opinion.
