Upholding My Reputation
The Winter Book Fair List
Each year, just before Thanksgiving, we put out our Winter Book Fair list: the best of the best this year, our personal favorites, and books that just make great gifts. Yes, every book you buy* through our amazon links or store earns us a small kickback, which is most appreciated (tech costs can be legion). But the list is more than a plea for you to support our site. These really are books we think will make fantastic gifts.
*actually, anything you buy from amazon once you click through a link on our site earns us a small kickback–so feel free to do all your Cyber Monday shopping through one of our amazon “portals”
You might think we’ve each read and vetted each title on the list. Not so: each person on the Redeemed Reader team starts suggesting books for this list well in advance of its publication on the site. We make notes, compare titles, try to ensure there’s a good variety. And we trust each other’s opinion.
We trust each other’s opinion enough to put our money on it.

The Christmas Book Flood
This year’s Christmas Eve picks for my own children are not from our Winter Book Fair List (partly because they’ve read most of those novels already!). I went with the “first book in a series” idea, and will be giving each child the first book to one of the series below. These are slightly older titles, and we haven’t reviewed them (yet). But we have worked with these authors and reviewed their works highly in the past (title links to amazon, author links to resources on our site featuring these authors):
- The Wilderking Trilogy by Jonathan Rogers
- The 100 Cupboards Trilogy by N. D. Wilson
- The Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson
