Quirky Christian Fiction
I really like to read.
A lot.
That being said, I get really tired of reading about perfect people falling in love with other perfect people and spending the rest of their life marvelling at their shared perfection…
It might say something about me that I really like a character that is quirky, real, and maybe slightly unhinged.
I am always on the lookout for a good piece of Christian fiction that makes me laugh.
Here are some of my current favorites(at least that I can remember, there are probably more!).
1. Nosy in Nebraska Series ~By Mary Connealy
A Mousaphobe that lives in a town with the world’s largest mouse makes for a hilarous first book in this series. I like the mystery and the realness of the characters.
I like almost everything Mary Connealy has written! She writes westerns also and always includes a little mystery as well as a lot of quirky fun.
You can get her book “Out of Control” free for Kindle right now.
2. Squeaky Clean Series ~By Christy Barritt
About a crime scene cleaner that can’t keep her nose out of trouble. I enjoy the mystery in these as well as the humor.
3. PJ Sugar Series ~By Susan May Warren
Trouble seems to follow PJ around and it makes for an interesting and funny series. I like to reread these once a year.
Okay, I reread most books I like once a year…
4. Lauren Holbrook Series ~By Erynn Mangum
The first book in this series starts out very much like Jane Austen’s Emma but has it’s own quirky twist.
Just be warned you will come away from this series craving chocolate and coffee…
I like a lot of her Novellas as well!
5. Moon Over Tokyo ~By Siri Mitchell
I really like several of Siri Mitchell’s older books. Her newer historical dramas are a bit too depressing for me.
“Kissing Adrien” is another good one from her that I own.
You might also want to check out:
The Emma Rae Series ~By Sandra D. Bricker
Miss Invisible ~By Laura Walker
Perfecting Kate(as well as her Southern Discomfort Series) ~By Tamara Leigh
Hopefully this helps someone that is having trouble finding good Christian Fiction!
Let me know if you have one you would recommend as well!
At the Lake
My husband was able to do his birthday miles friday.
36 miles of running and walking.
We brought him more water a couple of times and went to a nearby lake afterwards once.
Sometimes I forget how great it is to just let my boys explore an environment.
They soak in so much information by just being kids.
My oldest was determined to catch one of the little fish.
He did it!
I will have to do this more often.
Here is Nick at the end of his miles!
Good job baby!
I am perfectly content to just go on a hike for my birthday.
Maybe I should do my birthday minutes.
31 minutes of hiking should be a nice easy goal.
