I tore through the series of Harry Potter books this summer. I'd barely put one down and I'd be picking up the next. This last book I read, however, took me almost three weeks to read, and it really wasn't that long.
The Shack by Wm. Paul Young tells the story of a man, whose younger daughter is kidnapped and murdered, and how he confronts God regarding what happened. If you've ever wondered why God "allows" things to happen, this is a book for you to read. It can be a tough subject, especially if you are in the midst of a personal struggle. I'd highly recommend it.
I just got an e-mail from Barn.es & No.ble saying that John Gri.sham is coming out with a new book, F.ord C.ounty. I am looking forward to reading it.
I have quite a few books that I purchased over the summer that I haven't read yet. I need to dig them out of my closet and get started on them as I still have quite a few books to read before I hit my goal of 30 books read this year. The books on CD don't count towards my goal, so I need to get crackin'!
My husband asked my why I don't read the Bible, especially considering how much I love to read. I told him it was a throw back to my childhood, when my mom would use reading verses as punishment. So even though I know there are some really good stories contained within the Bible, I have a hard time reading it. However, I did read the Song of Soloman and Wow! Talk about some steamy reading. You'd not expect to find that in the Bible.
Have you read any good books lately?
