Hi everyone, please share what clean books you have read this year that are general recommendations you think others would enjoy.

I'll get it started with:

A Place to Hang the Moon by Kate Albus


Shard of Glass by Emily Deady


The Blue Castle by L M Montgomery

Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson. Third in the Skyward series. (There is a little bit of language, but there’s less than you’ll hear from people on the street in some cities and the most common word is a fake curse invented for the series.)

Beyond the Lavender Fields
Arlem Hawks

A Game of Hearts
Joanna Barker

An Engagement of Sorts
Alene Wecker

In Times of Rain and War
Camron Wright

I hope it's not inappropriate to share since I am the author (just let me know and I will delete it), but I am a huge fan of clean fiction and I intentionally wrote a "clean" and uplifting science fictional novel called Alien Neighbors.



From one of my reviews: Science fiction is not something I normally read. Alien Neighbors has started me on a journey to explore more science fiction books. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and could see this being made into a major motion picture. The characters were well written and the plot was engaging and I loved the creative characteristics given to the aliens. I hope there is a sequel. The science was understandable even by someone like me that has limited knowledge of the subject, but I found myself learning and fascinated by the physics and other ideas portrayed. I really enjoyed reading this book and recommend it to anyone that enjoys escaping into a fascinating journey of aliens, friendship, science, love, and saving the world.

Terri Blackstock is a great author to check out for clean content.

"Fish Swimming in Dappled Sunlight" by Riku Onada. It's a suspenseful mystery & a short book, so it's easy to read in one day!

Agreed! She's a favorite of mine.

I just finished Carnegie's Maid by Marie Benedict and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very Clean read. No language, sex or violence, just a good story that was hard for me to put down. Carnegie's MaidIt's nice to know that there are still some clean reads out there.

I'd have to recommend Origins by Stephenie A. Ortiz
Origins
I loved this book! The characters are great! The plot is great! It's Christian fantasy at its finest! Very Lewis/Tolkien style. It is a great book altogether but what makes it even better is that it is a CLEAN READ without profanity, violence, or sexuality which I LOVE! I cannot wait for the next book from this author! She is definitely a fresh voice in the Christian fiction market!

Top recently read clean books I would recommend:

•Kate Morton The Secret Keeper

•Kate Morton The Lake House

•Wendell Berry Hannah Coulter

•Fredrik Backman A Man Called Ove

•Lynette Noni The Prison Healer

•Anthony Doerr All the Lights We Cannot See

I just finished reading a traditional romance (in the Georgette Heyer manner) from the 1980s and would give it six stars if I could: The Country Gentleman by Dinah Dean. A delightful read.
