A new year and many great titles to read.

-

Starting off the New Year with a great line of reading can put things both on the right foot and bring a good balance to life. Yet, when I walk in the book store I see the rows of books and know that, like you, it is often hard to find what to read. Having a suggestion or the name of an author really helps. But what if they have nothing new? Where to start? This can be a dilemma if you are like me and purchase your books instead of use the old faithful library card. Speaking of which I am sure mine has expired. So, that said, I can tell you that I have a small stack of books that have book marks in them about three chapters in...Yep! They are not read...they are waiting for me to brave the pages of boredom that they seem to hold.

However, it is once and a while that I pick an unknown author and find a jewel or a diamond in the rough. Denise Hunter is one of these. You can visit her website at www.denisehunterbooks.com or visit your local library or bookstore. She has a new novel about to hit stores that I am excited about reading. Denise has a great way of taking life and involving you. Her characters are real, face real life challenges, and yet you walk away feeling like you have a peace at the end of the story. As you start your list of must reads in 2009 please add Denise Hunters' - Mending Fences, Saving Grace, and Finding Faith to you list. I believe you'll find as I did that these are powerful reads and a great way to enjoy a new author.

I am not currently reviewing a book/author or even reading Christian fiction at the moment. It is an interesting break from the normal and I am enjoying selecting the titles right now. Since I rarely read in the secular market it is often difficult for me to find authors that are enjoyable or to my tastes. In May or perhaps early of this year I was lent a copy of Twilight by Stephanie Meyers . Wait! Hold on! If you are completely rolling your eyes at this point and believe that I have joined the teen band wagon let me get just a few words in edgewise here. Thank you. As I was saying, I was lent a copy of Twilight a while back. I had no real desire to read it because, as you, I had no desire to join the throng of teens and even pre-teens obsessing over this book/saga. The copy I had received was at the top of my "to read later" pile, so I picked it up and turned to page one. Please understand that I am not a fan of Vampires or even that sort of thriller market. I enjoy ...

Where do you see us in say 15-20 years? Common point that most people with a five year plan at least consider. Dare say, though, that you probably postulate that many of the lifestyles you have now will be the same. Think so? In past posts I talked about the unknown and how if we are truly honest with ourselves we know that there is a great deal we don't "know." Thinking about that unknown is not something we often don't like to do. Why? Because it can be scary. We like control - we like certainty (to a point) and we like answers. Yes, that build-up means that I have another book for you to read that will challenge you to think differently about what our world could be like in the future. Will you be in the same SES class? Will you have power? Will you be tattooed to slavery? Or invisible to those that have it all? Two posts back I mentioned that Sigmund released book #2! I truly tried hard to take my time with it. However, he is just one of those authors that get...
