Welcome, take a seat on the bench and let's dive into my favorite military books. I'm not a huge fan of this type of book, but I did manage to find five that I loved.
Brothers-in-Arms by Jack Lewis Baillot
This is one of the most tear-jerking, amazing books I've ever read. I never read a book that focused so much on a brother relationship and it was amazing.
The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas
This is one of the most underrated classics. Filled with amazing descriptions and great character is doesn't get much better than this.
A Place Called Lonesome by Jesseca Wheaton
This short, but deep story really hits home. I actually teared up, which I rarely do at books.
With Every Letter by Sarah Sundin
An amazingly realistic view of war with some of the most realistic characters I've ever read. Talk about someone who nailed that relationships are messy.
I Don't Dance by Jesseca Wheaton
Yes, this is the second by Wheaton, but I told you I don't read many Military stories, didn't I? While this book mainly focuses on the relationship of the main characters, the romance not got overwhelming.

A place called Lonoke was so good! Have you read her Questions of War Series?
ReplyDeleteIt was really good! I've read book 1&2. I don't think book three is out yet. =)
DeleteSo I've heard that Brothers-in-Arms is amazing. Ack, you're making me want to read it even more! ;) and of course any books by Jesseca Wheaton are epic. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is really incredible! I just got a paperback of it and it's beautiful. =) Lol, yep!
Delete"A Place Called Lonesome" was amazing!! <3 And "I Don't Dance" was great too!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was! I loved them both!
DeleteI've read A Place Called Lonesome and With Every Letter. And I enjoyed both. Except A Place Called Lonesome was downright cruel. :P I agree about the characters in With Every Letter--I actually related to the female lead a LOT, which almost never happens.

Both of those were great. I thought it gave a pretty good view on the war. =)
DeleteThat's awesome! I love finding books like that!
I’ve read “A Place Called Lonesome”, I Don’t Dance”, and “With Every Letter”. I enjoyed the other two books in the Wings of the Nightingale series as well. Book 1 was probably my favorite though. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are all awesome! I haven't read the other books in the series, but they are on my to-read list!
DeleteA Place Called Lonesome, With Every Letter, and I Don't Dance are precious. <3
ReplyDeleteIndeed they are. <3
DeleteI've read both books by Jesseca Wheaton. :) "With Every Letter" is one of many books by Sarah Sundin that I haven't read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
They are good! It's the only book I've read by her, but it was awesome!
DeleteI really want to read With Every Letter! Have you read any of her other books?? I Don't Dance was really good!!
