What I'm Reading (Or Trying To....)

I  hope I'm not the only person that reads more than one book at a time. I am actually in the process of reading two and starting on a third. So, here's my list:

 

1. Bon Appetite- Sandra Byrd (Book 2 of 3)

2. Jane Eyre- Charlotte

3. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo- Stieg Larsson

(I have been waiting for this book forever).

I will give a review when I finally finish them, lol.

What I'm Reading: A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman

I don't know where to begin. I found out Julie Lessman from a review she did on another book.  I googled her and the rest was history. I finally received all of her The Daughters of Boston books (there's 3 of them) and started  my first book Tuesday. Can I say absolutely amazing!!?!!??!! I'm not done yet but I can't help but tell others about it. I love the characters, the plot and the way she is so real about the emotions of the characters. She doesn't sugar coat it and make it extremely cheesy and romantic and she ties the word of God into it in a way that I don't feel like I'm about to go to sleep. I am normally not a fan of Christian Historical Fiction but between her and Siri Mitchell (Love her!) I might end up getting more books from this genre. It takes place in 1916 Boston during World War 1. The first book is about the oldest sister Faith.........that's all I'm telling you. There are so many dips and turns and twists so far I can't even imagine how it will end. That being said, I am very anxious to get back to the book; it is seriously awesome. Be blessed.

It's A Beautiful Day!

Today is a high of 93 degrees! I wore a sundress and called it a day. Lol, it’s so beautiful outside though. I am going to try to get home at a decent hour so I can just sit outside and watch the sunset. I walked to Borders on 34th St. on my lunch break. I like their Christian Fiction collection. It’s pretty decent. I actually saw books I wanted to buy from them. I am going to have to slow down in the book buying department which I am learning is easier said than done. Lol.

Kindle? No Thanks.

So as some of you know, I am a die hard book reader. I mainly read Christian Chick- Lit now (so I don’t have any unnecessary stuff circulating around in my head) and Classics……mainly JANE AUSTEN! (Did I mention I absolutely love her?) I found out about a device called a “kindle” when I was on the train heading home the other day. I remember hearing about it a while back but thought it would phase itself out, but they have been pushing it more and more. Now, I am eco-friendly; I do the paper bags, recycle, etc. but when it comes to books I have to draw the line. A book is something you should never replace. Make them thinner or smaller if you need to but don’t give me a little piece of electronics and tell me I can store a bunch of books on it. I refuse to cheat on my books! What is supposed to happen to bookstores? alibris.com? I want to from a coup d’etat! LOL; I’m just joking. That would be a little too extreme.  But as long as they don’t try to phase of my books, we will have an unspoken truce between us.
