Romantic Reads for Teens: A Book List for Girls and Guys
Enjoy this unapologetic list of romantic reads for teens: great love stories and high romance without LGBTQ elements. For the genre-junkies out there, it’s worth noting that the Blink Imprint books consistently deliver clean romance. Members: we’ve got this as a free printable for you! Check out the Members Printable Page for the link. Please note: a 13-year-old may not be ready for the same sort of a book a 19-year-old will enjoy. It’s safe to say that older teens can (and will) enjoy every book on this list, but not every book is appropriate for a younger teen. Please read reviews if you are unfamiliar with a given title.…

Betsy and Janie talked about their best-beloved editions in an earlier post, and here Gladys Hunt shares some of her favorites. Choosing Mother Goose Originally published on the Tumblon website July 12, 2009 Every child should have an early friendship with Mother Goose! Those who know agree that nothing boosts language development better than the catchy…

Songs For A Sunday by Heather Norman Smith
Amazing Grace Songs For A Sunday by Heather Norman Smith is a most charming Christian dual timeline that I adored. The novel is the heartbeat of God for His children. His love for us is palpable, and the love of the characters for each other is vast. We belong to our earthly family and we […]

A Date To Die For by E. V. Hunter
Cosy Crime At It’s Best A Date To Die For by E V Hunter is a contemporary cosy crime that I read in just one sitting. The characters were all well drawn, likable and realistic. The leading pair made quite a crime-busting duo – the private investigator and the journalist, accompanied by a very savvy […]

The 2023 ALA Youth Media Awards
A Redeemed Reader Tradition This morning, a Redeemed Reader tradition of multiple years continued: listening to the ALA Youth Media Awards. Last year we gathered in person. This year it was virtual. We wake early and hunch over livestream announcements. For an hour there is: book chatter, “Ooh, I read that!” predictions, “maybe it will be Gary Paulsen …” the frantic scribbling of titles, “what was the second Schneider honor?” not to mention, the judicious use of library holds, “I’ve reached my hold limit!” But Why Pay Attention? In the words of Janie, from a prior year, “The reason we pay so much attention to this is not that we’re…
