Five Fall Favorites - Day 1: Real Heroes

Welcome to day 1 of the Five Fall Favorites blog party hosted by Rebekah Morris and Sarah Holman! What is the Five Fall Favorites party? Each day this week, the participants will be sharing five books in the listed genre. Today's category is 'real heroes'—not superheroes, but real heroes—those who put themselves on the line for others.

Each blog in the party is assigned a different 'room' each day. Today, I'm the Backpacks room! You'll definitely need a big ol' backpack with all the recommendations you'll be taking away with you today! (One little hint—each day, the Books room will have a free short story for you to download!) Where can you find the rest of these rooms? At the end of the post I'll have a link to the Literary Lodge (otherwise known as Read Another Page), home base for the party, where you'll find links to the rest of the participating blogs!

While Mortals Sleep—Jack Cavanaugh

While Mortals Sleep is a book all about doing the right thing, even when it seems like all those around you—including those you love the most—are against you every step of the way. It's partially intense, partially heartbreaking...but completely amazing. You can find my review HERE.

Code of Honor—Alan Gratz

Another intense book...Kamran fights for honor and justice, and to bring the truths to light. You can find my review HERE.

A Question of Honor—Jesseca Wheaton

*Deep breath* this book...all the feels though. David and Gil are true heroes. Following God's call even when it hurts. And those of you who've read it know what I'm saying when I say that it hurts.

Certain Jeopardy—Jeff Strueker & Alton Gansky

Yes, I'm slightly obsessed with this series. I love these books. Like, a lot. Certain Jeopardy is the first in probably my all-time favorite series. About a Special Ops team, with camaraderie, and family, and tears, and . . . yeah. (Can you tell I like military fiction? Especially when it comes to real heroes?)

Nightshade—Ronie Kendig

YES, another military book. Special ops, to be more specific. But seriously. Though the romance is a bit much for me, Ms. Kendig writes amazing military fiction.

To go along with the party, all of the participants joined together to make a fun giveaway basket perfect for any book lover! The prize includes a lot of fun stuff including paperbacks, a mug, and an Amazon gift card! The more people that enter the giveaway, the more winners there will be—so what are you waiting for?! Go enter! (Also, my book is one of the prizes—it just didn't get put in the picture. Extra incentive, ya know.)
