Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Books I Read on Someone's Recommendation

Welcome back! It's Wednesday again. In a few more days, I will be attending a writers' conference, which I haven't done since the pandemic. I'm excited. 

This week's Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is about books we've read thanks to someone's recommendation. Oddly, there aren't a ton of those. I know what I like. I tend to read the same genres. That said, here is one that I decided to pick up because of someone's recommendation.


My sister and one of my friends told me I had to read Left Behind. There were three or four books out when I started reading this series. This ended up being one of my favorites. I've said this before, but this series was the first one that I eagerly awaited for each new book to release. I was so disappointed when it ended. 

What is a book you've read based on someone's recommendation?

I haven’t thought about Left Behind in a long time. I think someone recommended it to me as well. :)

I've not read the book I do remember watching the 2014 adaptation starring Nicholas Cage, and I enjoyed it if memory serves.

The Left Behind series is so good - great recommendation. 💚

It's such a great series, Lydia. I would read it again in a heartbeat. Thanks for visiting.

I don't know if I ever saw that adaptation. I think Kirk Cameron is in that as well. It definitely gets more into the Bible as time goes on. Thanks for stopping by, George.

Glad you enjoyed it, too, Rebecca. Thanks for visiting.
