A.L. Sowards | 2481 comments This month we're having a mini-challenge inspired by St. Patrick's Day. Read a novel or novella by an LDS author with a predominantly green cover.

Anything you read here can count toward the alphabet challenge too.

Cindy (scribler) | 12 comments I think this one has enough green to count. (I've already the entire series and I can definitely recommend it. I think the series is a good one.)

Hmm - Does anything by Betsy Green count? Sorry couldn't help that. Some other suggestions might be If I Should Die by me, Out of Jerusalem by H.B Moore, Mummy's the Word by Kerry Blair, and Proceed with Caution by Betsy Green.

Katrina Lybbert | 19 comments I am going to read Eleanor and the Iron King as I have had it on my tbr list for quite some time. I found it for $2.95 on Kindle, so a pretty good deal.

I enjoyed that book. I read it on vacation when my husband got a cold. Started it after lunch and finished it that evening.


message 9: by Katrina (new)

Katrina Lybbert | 19 comments I finished the book (Eleanor and the Iron King). I liked it and found myself wanting to keep reading. I did find the ghost/witch paranormal part a little too much for me, but over all I liked it. I have always been interested in Wales and the Welsh language, so that was fun. I appreciated the pronunciation guide.

I think Sian Ann Bessey has a few books with a Welsh tie (she grew up in Wales). I haven't read them yet, but One Last Spring is set in Wales (Victorian times), and To Win a Lady's Heart is based on a Welsh legend (but set in England--I think).

Katrina Lybbert | 19 comments Thanks for the suggestions, I have those books by Sian Ann Bessey on my tbr list. I am excited to read them when I am able.


message 12: by Jennie (new)

Jennie | 151 comments I just finished "The Proud Shall Stumble" by Gerald N Lund. The cover is mostly green.


message 13: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Sowards | 2481 comments I just finished this one (as an audiobook) and I loved it!

The Passion of Dolssa by Julie Berry The Passion of Dolssa by Julie Berry


message 14: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (scribler) | 12 comments Just finished A Plentiful Rain by Elizabeth Perry Bentley. I read it and A Dry Rain. I really enjoyed both. I think I liked A Dry Rain more but would recommend both as long as you are okay with people who question faith.


message 15: by Connie (new)

Connie | 19 comments Finished Love and Loss at Whitmore Manor and I really enjoyed it!
