Double Date Book Challenge

Hosted by: Writing My Own Fairytale

You must pick two books that you would recommend someone read together (like a double date!) and explain your reasons for the recommendation.

 Captives by Jill Williamson & Anomaly by Krista McGee

These two are both dystopian/futuristic books set in a similar area. Both offer a better idea of a future, but the truth is they both only offer a bleak future.

 Day of War by Cliff Graham & Return To Me by Lynn Austin

Both books offer a glimpse into the life during Biblical times and, what was to me, times I didn't know much about. Each shows how conflict and war was handled in their own times. They are different, but each seek the same out come, their home in peace.

How is the read-a-thon going for you?
