Turns out I love a lot of books with fewer than 2,000 ratings there. So narrowing it down was tricky, but here we go! Please note that I'm putting them in alphabetical order by title because I didn't have time to suss out which ones I loved more than others. I love all ten of these so much that I own my own copies. Can't bear to rely on the library to have books I love right when I NEED to read them again, you know?
I usually link titles to my book reviews here on my blog, but this time I've linked them to their Goodreads pages :-) And I'm sharing a line or two from the book's blurb there as well.
A Flame in the Dark by Sarah Baughman
The Reformation changed the world—and the lives of ordinary people.
And Now Tomorrow by Rachel Field
Emily Blair is rich and deaf. Doctor Vance, who grew up poor in Blairtown, is working on a serum to cure deafness which he tries on Emily.
Grateful American by Gary Sinise
The moving, entertaining, never-before-told story of how one man found his calling.
Jane of Austin by Hillary Manton Lodge
In this modern spin on the Austen classic, Sense and Sensibility, the Woodward sisters must contend with new ingredients in unfamiliar kitchens, a dash of heartbreak, and the fragile hope that maybe home isn't so far away.
Loving Isaac by Heather Kaufman
The story of a pastor who was set in his ways and happy about it, a mother who was saddened by her life circumstances, and a little boy who helped them learn that God's will is sometimes surprising and always delightful.

How does one steal a family's history, their very name?

The Usurper's Throne by Charity Bishop
His last, best hope for England may destroy them all.
With Blossoms Gold by Hayden Wand
She never wanted to leave the tower. He never wanted to rule the country.
There you have it! Ten books I adore that have too few ratings and reviews on Goodreads, which makes me think they have too few readers in general.
How about you? Have you read any of these? Did you share a Top Ten Tuesday list this week too? Please share below!
I haven't actually read any of these, but I am interested in a few of them!
ReplyDeleteOlivia, they're all worth your time! I could see you liking With Blossoms Gold and Jane of Austin especially.
DeleteThose are the ones I'm most interested in! (And, of course, Speak Easy, Speak Love, which I somehow still have not read, even though it's sitting all pretty and waiting on my shelf.)
DeleteOlivia, Speak Easy, Speak Love is a perfect book for spring/summer. Just saying.
DeleteMany of these sound very interesting! I will look for Loving Isaac, I think.
ReplyDeleteDeb Nance, Loving Isaac is beautiful! Both heart-rending and heart-warming.
DeleteYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS to Soldier On :D
ReplyDeleteJessica, it's possible you love that book more than I do :-D
DeleteI hadn't heard of Jane of Austin. It sounds intriguing. I often wonder what famous authors would have done if they'd lived in modern times, especially the ones that died young because they contracted diseases we now have vaccines/treatments for.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday post.
Lydia, Jane of Austin is really fun! I like how it retells Sense and Sensibility from the Marianne-character's perspective, as I'd not seen that done before.
DeleteThanks for sharing your list! I'll check it out this afternoon :-)
I'm flattered to make the list. I need to read some of these, though. They look good!
ReplyDeleteCharity, definitely check some of these out! I'd love to hear your take on any of them. Especially A Flame in the Dark.
DeleteI haven't read any of these, but they look interesting.
ReplyDeleteSkye, I really think you'd dig Speak Easy, Speak Love. It's set during the '20s, loads of snappy dialog and great, twisty characters.
DeleteTHREE CHEERS for Charity's. Still have to read her novel, but it's on my shelf. Also, I've heard amazing things about Speak Easy, Speak Love. Someday I need to read it too. :)
ReplyDeleteRissi, Charity's books are such fun! I'm looking forward to book three.
DeleteSpeak Easy, Speak Love IS SO VERY GOOD. It's a must-read.
