Top Ten Tuesday Favorite First Book of a Series







Top Ten Tuesday's prompt from Broke and Bookish for this week is ten favorite books from 2017. Well since we know that I'd have pages of favorite books, I'm tweaking it a tad, and doing my favorite kick off books to a new series.

Links will take you to my blog review or Goodreads review.


This is Ms. Alexander's Christmas book this year, but it is also a kick off to her new series that will be set at the Carnton Plantation in Tennessee.
I haven't finished this book completely yet. I'm close. I will say that the story is true Julie Lessman, and is the perfect kick off to her Silver Lining Ranch series.
Becky Wade starts her Bradford Sister series off with novella, Then Came You. True to You is the real kick off and a great family saga beginning.
 Pepper Basham continues to write stories about her beloved Appalachia in this first book of her Pleasant Gap series.
 Kellie Gilbert is from the Sun Valley, Idaho area. Taking her love of the area she pens a vacation story kicking off her series involving three sisters, titled Sisters.
The last book I read of Ms. Putman's was three years ago, so I was very excited to see that she had a new series. Using her legal expertise to write a great beginning to a new series.
 Another laugh out loud beginning to Jen Turano's Apart From the Crowd series.
Both a debut, and first book of the series, a total hit for me! Fantasy isn't my go to genre, but I loved it!
The third book I've read of Ms. Dylan's and a great kick off to her Atlanta Justice series.
Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and Jody Hedlund does a wonderful job of starting her Orphan Train series.



















Any or all of these books would be a perfect Christmas gift for the reader in your life, and they will be up to date before the next release.

Let me know your favorite series starts that you read this year in the comments.

Tuesday Top Ten - Back To School Edition





Historical fiction is probably my favorite genre, romance is a close second. I enjoyed history in school, but as most of us, didn't retain a lot. Reading historical fiction gives me the escape to a different time and place and I learn something about the time period. A definite win/win.
I am joining Broke and the Bookish for Tuesday Top Ten, and I am highlighting books that I believe should be on a History class reading list.





 Shape of Mercy was the first book I read by Susan Meissner. Time period for this book is the Salem Witch Trials.
The Ballantyne Series is a huge favorite of mine, and the time period is Pre-Civil War.
Sarah Sundin's military books are so fun and informative. This book centers around flight nurses in WWII.
 A great story similar to Monument Men, centers around Auschwitz, WWII.
WWI, German spies on the soil of Britain is this novel's center.
Derbyshire, England during WWI is this novel's center.
 Centered in the Golden Age of the 1930's.
 The Hindenburg disaster is the center of this novel.
The colonization of Louisiana, from France is this novel's center point.
The orphan train, in 1850 New York, is the center of this novel.

Top Ten Tuesday











Since today is 4th of July, I thought I'd make my Top Ten Tuesday around Military reads. Both Ronie Kendig and Sarah Sundin bring military life, and romance in their military books. If you haven't read their work I highly recommend digging in, and what better time, than 4th of July!



 Ms. Kendig just rewrote this book and it has a fabulous new cover!

Discarded Heroes Book 1-4



























































Book 1 of her new series . . . Tox Files.


Sarah Sundin has three military series and I've had the pleasure to read all three and just love them.

Wings of Glory Series 1-3
























































Wings of the Nightingale 1-3


























































Being a Navy Brat her Navy series has to be my favorite. Waves of Freedom 1-3.

























































I'm over ten by four, but it's so hard to choose ten sometimes.

Happy 4th of July!!!! Any of your favorite military books make my list? Tell me yours! Hope you are enjoying your holiday! See you next week!
