Nine years to win her. Three years to love her. And one decision that destroyed it all.

I missed the boat on The Hunger Games and other popular dystopians, coming late to the party with mostly Christian-themed dystopian novels. Here are those that I’ve highly enjoyed!

I Am Margaret Series by Corinna Turner

I Am MargaretI Am Margaret by Corinna Turner

This was my first foray into a dystopian world – one with a Catholic underground, a brave and reckless hero, and a strong and virtuous heroine. Well-drawn characters and enough tension and action to keep you turning pages long after you should have set the book down. I don’t believe my heart has ever thumped like that during a novel’s climax. Can’t wait for book two!

North Myrtle Beach Vacation Edition

–1–

It’s not the destination; it’s the journey. That’s what they say when they want you to focus on the beauty in front of you, not what’s ahead of you. Our journey started at midnight, after no sleep. I haven’t pulled an all-nighter since I was an elementary school-aged kid at a slumber party ordering prank call pizzas for cute boys. But, with a few little cat naps, I managed. Dawn came somewhere in southern Virginia while my family slept. There were no accidents, no moving violations, and only one vomiting incident, so I consider it a great success.NMyrtle1
