The Warrior - Francine Rivers

Awesome truth based fiction.

Francine Rivers is an amazing author and this is one of her best works (imho).

In this second book of the Sons of Encouragement series, Rivers takes the story of Caleb and all of what we know from the bible about him and has turned it into a novel about Caleb’s life.

Yes she uses artistic license to create much of the story but she has remained faithful to what we know of Caleb’s character.

I can’t wait to read the others in the series! It’s encouraging, inspiring and a great, easy read.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - J.K. Rowling

I’m not going to read this book, sorry.

I’m also not going to give any reasons as to why I’m not going to read it.

I’m sure it’s incredibly well written though. Rowling has a style of writing which is unsurpassed. I’m just not going to read it.

 Readability: ★★★★★★★  (probably)
