Paranormal Romance?

      Walking through the teen section at libraries and bookstores I have seen sections totally dedicated to a new genre, that of paranormal romance. Ever since the Twilight books and movies have come out the teen market has been saturated with werewolves, vampires, and the undead. I find this trend really interesting because while people are more then ready to deny the existence of God they are all for the paranormal and the superheroes. Searching for thing out of this world to satisfy their inner craving for something beyond this ordinary life.
          As an alternative to these books I have several christian authors and series to recommend. First off the Christy Miller, Sierra Jensen, and Katie Weldon series by Robin Jones Gunn are fun stories with a great message and characters one can relate to. I still reread them from time to time. Erynn Mangum and her Miss Match and Cool Beans series are also a great source of chick-lit. Melody Carlson has multiple young adult series and stand alone  books the one's I have liked are: Diary of a Teenage Girl,  On the Runway, 86 Bloomberg Place,  The Secret Life of Samantha McGregor, Notes from a Spinning Planet, Anything but Normal, These Boots Weren't made for Walking, and A Mile in my Flip-flops. Sandra Byrd's London Confidential for younger teens and her French Twist series for young adults. I have a few more to recommend but these will do for now.

All for a Song by Allison Pittman

The 1920’s ushered in great changes in lifestyle and culture from flapper fashions to speakeasies.  All for a Song, by Allison Pittman, follows Dorothy as she searches for her place in life amidst the Roaring Twenties. In many ways choices had been pretty narrow for Dorothy in her small hometown. These choices were further curtailed by her engagement to the new preacher and the fact she was a pastor’s kid. As it gets closer to the wedding Dorothy suddenly feels restless and it is arranged for her to visit her sister in St Louis. This starts a journey that will take her all the way to Los Angeles and the discovery of all twenties has to offer. Dorothy journey leads her to discover that finding joy in life is not just about following the trends or about staying in the past but finding the way that God has laid out for you.
