Of all the books I've read in 2020, these five series plus two were my favorites (defined as most engaging, hard-to-put-down, ideas and thoughts stuck with me for some time afterwards, devoured by my children as well):
1. The Green Ember Series by S. D. Smith - 9 books about rabbits with swords fighting to take back their world from the evil Lords of Prey. Adventure, character growth, mercy, forgiveness, heroic self-sacrifice.
2. The Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson - 4 fantasy books, similar in theme to the Green Ember. Again, adventure, character growth, mercy, forgiveness, heroic self-sacrifice.
3. The Crown and the Covenant series by Douglas Bond - 3 books detailing the persecution of 17th century Scottish Covenanters by English Anglicans. Standing firm in Biblical faith in the face of persecution, reliance on God and guidance from the Bible, self-sacrifice.
4. Viking Quest series by Lois Walford Johnson - 5 books following an Irish girl captured and enslaved by Viking raiders. Adventure, character growth, forgiveness.
5. The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis - 7 books featuring children from this world transported to the magical world of Narnia.
6. The Flying Flamingo Sisters by Carrie Seim - a radio drama from Audible. Hilarious, punny.
7. Emma by Jane Austen - a beautiful story of the well-intentioned but misguided attempts of a young lady to play matchmaker for her friends, and discovering true love for herself in the end. Mr. Knightley is my favorite character!
