Back to the Books! 2 Great reads

-

Last week was just not a good week for me. Actually, I should rephrase that and say the past 18 days. Plagued by a rotten case of some sort of virus I have been miserable and really not even feeling well enough to read. In any case, I am on the mend and have a few great new books to tell you about - from one of my Favorite authors. She has written so many books, however, I am always surprised when I read her next one that I find new characters, new adventures, and new ideas. The creative of her mind is an amazing thing.

Melody Carlson, writer extraordinaire, has two new and fun reads. First, "Limelight." Are you extra special? Suppose to be something that your current circumstances just are not matching up too? We can all relate the idea of being "more" from time to time. Especially if age is a part of the picture in the mirror that you are using to reflect on. I have to tell you, as you know I never give away the story line, but there is a section in this book where you will be laughing so hard your sides hurt. It is a fun and fast read. Enjoy!

The second option this month is more for your teen, even pre-teen, in the house and probably for your daughter. Melody has this wonderful teen series called "Diary of A teenage Girl." Each book talks about a different character and really hits of many of the issues that our pre-teens/teens are struggling with and thinking about. The newest addition: "What matters most" offers a great look at how to deal with issues like popularity and break-ups. Again, Melody's characters are real and relevant. A great read.

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...
