(In general, the books scanned by are better quality because sometimes you get skewed pages and photos of fingertips from the scans by Google, so I have linked to below if they have a copy available.) Also, some of those titles have been made into corrected. Some books are so long out of copyright that you can also download a pdf copy to read on your computer or ebook reader from or Google Books. Among those books are several Grace Livingston Hill books! You can borrow them for an hour at a time and read them online, and if it takes you longer, just renew your borrowing time at the end of an hour. Over the past several years, has worked with libraries to scan books that would otherwise be discarded so that a digital copy can be made available for people to borrow all around the world. I have actually bought all her books in epub format from Barbour Books, which has recently re-released them with beautiful new covers and “very light” (their words) editing. Her books have been reprinted several times, mostly recently in paperback forms by Bantam, Tyndale, and Barbour. Reading from her characters’ points of view about the flappers of the 20s or the soldiers and families during both world wars is really interesting to me. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love.Īnd the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fascinating! GLH wrote from before 1900 through the 1940s, and her books reflect what was, to her, “current” culture. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century.
I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses. I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online!
