The topic this Wednesday is ... Favorite Book Recommended by Another
I have two that are favorites. These are in no particular order. They are both sort of old school, but I really enjoyed them.

The first one is French Silk, by Sandra Brown. My cousin recommended this book, and it jump started me on a year long binge of Sandra Brown. I really enjoyed her books. Then the newer books started to transform and they weren't really romance anymore, but instead suspense/mystery.  Regardless. I'm so glad I got read to most of her books. They are all pretty good!

My second pick is the Left Behind Series, by Tim LaHay and Jerry B Jenkins.  These books were not only recommended, but I was gifted the full set by a coworker that I became good friends with.  I never really read Christian fiction before, so I was skeptical, but these books are really good! You may be surprised, like I was.

Great series, but the content can get pretty heavy after reading 13 books in a row. I didn’t complete the series, but I got through book 13 out of 16 before I needed a break.  I will return to it and finish it eventually.  

The series begins with Left Behind, when the Rapture occurs, everyone who didn’t follow Christ was left behind, here on earth.  It does refer to the bible and other christian values, but in an entertaining way. It doesn't have that "churchy" feel at all.  The books are adventurous and unbelievable (in a good way).

I've heard so many good things about this author but have yet to try her! I'll have to look into her books more seriously.

I haven't read that particular Sandra Brown book but I have enjoyed her books. I think she is a great go to author. The Left Behind series was recommended to me but I never did get a chance to read them. I feel as if I missed out.
