For today's book review I wanted to bring your attention to a lovely series by Jan Karon, one of my favorite authors.
At Home in Mitford kicks off the Mitford series, which continues with six more books as well as a few related detour books. It tells the story of an elderly Episcopalian priest living in a small town in North Carolina. He begins the series alone and ends up with a huge dog, wife, and adopted son by the end of these seven books.
The books are sprinkled with humor as well as beautiful, tear-jerking moments, and you can read them over and over again. Just because they are about an elderly priest does not mean that they will not be enjoyable to teenagers. Sure, they aren't fantasy/dystopian/chick lit/insert typical young adult genre here, but they appeal to a wide range of ages and I would highly recommend giving them a try!
What do you think? Have you read these books? Do you like them? Are there books you have read or heard about that you would like to see reviewed here?
