I know we have done this before; but it always interests me...
so lets share what are we reading now.
I have been reading multiple books at once which is rare for me.
Currently I have going:
Roots by Alex Haley
Seneca Falls & the Origins of the Womens's Rights Movement by Sally G McMillen
and
Founding Faith: Providence, Politics & the Birth of Religious Freedom in America by Steven Waldman
I read non fiction slower than fiction so I read The Secret Life of Bees in between (after reading Rebekah's article in the latest issue of MaryJanes Magazine!)
So share with me girls...What are you reading?
My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. Luke 1:46,47

Martin Chuzzlewit by Charles Dickens. It's from 1844 and hard to get into.

Jenny: How do you like the Willem Lange book? I have read all of his and really liked them. I usually mixed them in with novels since they are all separate stories.
I just finished Mrs. Mike! Loved it. When I mentioned it to the social studies teacher I work with, she was shocked that I had even heard of it. She reads it every year since she loves it so much! A student's mom got me a copy of The Glass Castle, so I will try that next. This mom always buys me books she thinks I will enjoy.

I am reading nothing! EEK! I've got a few books on hold at the library but they haven't come in yet. Guess I'll go through my shelves and see what I can find.

I just started the Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. I hope it's good, because I saw she has another one called Comfort Food.

Just finished Time Traveler's Wife..loved it. I am reading Where Does the Wild Goose Go? by Willem Lange right now. I am expecting a couple of new ones in the China bayles series by Susan Wittig Albert soon ( herb shop mysteries) and I went ahead and ordered (on paperback swap) another Lumby book ...the first one I think.

Right now I have two going. New Moon from the Twilight Series and The Forest by Edward Rutherfurd. I've read The Forest before, but it's one of my favs and I'm trying to get into the reading mood. I usually read more during the fall and winter months.

Right now I am struggling through "Twilight" - you know, the hit teen series and now a movie. I normally do not like vampire stories (I tend to read romances or other types) but my friends told me it was a good book. I am over halfway through (thank goodness it's just a library book) and am wondering if I really want to finish. It is getting lame.

Maggie,
I love the movies too! I think my favourites are Pride & Predjudice by A&E (the long series) and Emma (with Gwyenth Paltrow). I've seen them countless times.

I am reading The Frontiersman's Daughter by Laura Frantz. Seems to be pretty good so far, Christian Fiction.

You are welcome, Jenny!! Lumby is fun. I read somewhere that this book is not even the best in the series, so if you like it, you can read some of the other ones too. I plan to. When you are done with them, just send them on to someone else. I can never keep all my books because my house is not big enough!! :)

I just started Mrs. Mike. It's a nice, quiet kind of book about Canada and the wilderness for a young couple.

I just got a large stack of musty old books from a friend. She just bought a house and it came with a whole book-lined room in the basement. Too bad about the smell, but I'm hoping to get it out. I hear that you can remove musty odor by putting the books in a sealed container (like a storage tub) with baking soda, kitty litter, or charcoal briquets. |

Denali, I love Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Persuasion. You should watch the movies of them there so good! Although get the newer ones. The old ones are not as good.

I am almost done with my year read of Bible. I did a Billy Graham type thing. Got a little waylaid this summer but now will get back on course.

Too Many...I have the bad habit of starting a new book before finishing the old one  .
I love book groups and am in a Jane Austin book group right now. We just finished Emma and are starting through Persuasion! I think Pride & Prejudice or Mansfield Park are my favorite.
Has anyone read "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" by Max Shulman? It's a great book for laughs.

I am reading the Bible again too. Last year I did the Charles Stanley year-long reading. That was good!! Now I am reading another one that you read a little each day and it gets explained with a daily devotional for women. I like reading it a little each day too. Keeps me in there.
Just finished East of Eden too. That was just so good. What a great book. I am thinking about Cannery Row next.

My Bible!!
I am following a read-the-Bible in a year schedule available from the Navigators Ministry. It's great . . . and keeps me reading the Bible.
Right now, with summer and gardening, farmers market, another full-time job, etc., etc. . . . well, I don't find the time to read.
If I sit down with a book at night . . . well, I'm so pooped, I fall asleep??
However, I do manage to read my MJF magazines!!!!
