2009 Summer Series

-
There are those shows on TV that just pull you in and you find yourself not able to leave them behind even when the season has ended. This post is not talking about reality TV. Rather, I am thinking about shows that bring characters to life and you find you miss those characters later when the show is over. Not really a TV buff I have to search for some that might get you thinking along the right lines here...let's see for example, Seventh Heaven, Sex and the City, and perhaps you can name your own.

Melody Carlson brings us this summer's series. It is just the sort of book(s) to keep by your outdoor lounger, or pool. A great one to read while your toes are sunk into the sand and your have time to indulge. The read is called: "I heart Bloomberg." (That is book one of 4). A fabulous cast of characters that you will either find yourself intermixed with or you will see yourself directly in one of them. Book one sets the stage and I can't wait to read the other three this summer. These ladies are now four friends that I look forward to spending my summer days with sharing adventures.

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...
