Please read something and tell me about it. Did you find a book you could not put down? A book that gave you great joy? A book that taught you something? I book that you keep thinking about?
What joyful things books are, are they not?? Have fun reading this week.
Review from August, 2012:
Definitely 5 stars! This was a great book! It's so good that I don't want to say a lot about it, in fear that I will ruin it for you, a potential reader. Please read this book! It's about a man who walks across England to visit a friend who has cancer. But it really is about WAY MORE than that. It's the human story, with all our foibles, fears, mistakes, regrets, joys, and loves. Just a great, great book. The writing is beautiful, the characters are very human. This book will break your heart and touch your heart... definitely one of my faves.

I am reading three books right now....Grave Robber, which I am reviewing for Family Christian Book Store; The Golem and the Jinni, for Lone Prairie Book Club; and for myself, Prodigy: A Legend Novel. So many unread books, so little time.
I just finished The Girl Who Saved The King of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson, and loved it. Three that I read last month and highly recommend are Painted Horses By Malcolm Brooks, California by Edan Lepucki and Falling From Horses by Molly Glass.
Thanks for the notes, BarbCarol and Jan. I have not heard of any of those books. As BC said, "so many unread books, so little time." I came home from my weekend with many more books to read. *sigh* - a joy, with a twinge of feeling discouraged
