Set Apart Femininity by Leslie Ludy I recommend this book so much(for 16 ). God has used it to speak a lot to me.

I just finished The Shunning By Beverly Lewis
I now must patiently wait to get The Confession and The Reckoning from the library
I may or may not go crazy waiting for it

I am now reading Longing by Karen Kingsbury. It's the second to last one of the series.
"Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again." ― C.S. Lewis
I started reading the book, My Father, Maker of the Trees. I think its going to be a sad book.
I finished The Secret Keeper by Sandra Byrd, it was excellent. Ms. Byrd has become one of my favorite authors. The sad part about finishing this one is that the next one does not come out until April of next year. Up next for me is Missing by Shelley Shepard Gray, it is the first book in her The Secrets of Crittenden County series/trilogy.

I'm reading Persuasion, by Jane Austen. I definitely like it. I've seen a movie version of it which I enjoyed, but it's nice to read the book and get more of the story
Till the end of the line.
I just finished Missing, it was excellent. I am now starting the second book in this trilogy: The Search.

I just finished "Matched" by Ally Condie
*insert provocative quote here*
If you ever read "Crossed", let me know if you hated it as much as I did. I'm hoping that maybe Condie will redeem herself with "Reached", but I don't really expect her to do so.Musical Shutterbug wrote:I just finished "Matched" by Ally Condie
Back on topic, I'm currently reading The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton. It promises to be most quotable.

I ordered Crossed from the library earlier this week...I'm waiting for it to arrive

I'm currently reading "Jesus, Interrupted" by Bart Ehrman. And "Misquoting Truth" by Timothy Paul Jones, which I am reading after I just finished Misquoting Jesus by Bart Ehrman.

I finished The Search by Shelley Shepard Gray, it was excellent. My only problem is I have to wait an unknown amount of time to find out how the story ends. Next up for me is Annie's Truth by Beth Shriver. It is the first book in her Touch of Grace series/trilogy. New author for me.

I'm almost finished with The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. I still haven't decided if I like it.
I'm reading The Thief by Meghan Whalen Turner. It's a very good book about . . . A thief. It's set in an imaginary land heavily inspired by ancient Greece. I'm also reading Manzanar by John Armor and Peter Wright, which is a photographic record of American citizens jailed (by the American Government) in desert prison camps during World War II. Highly recommended, it is an important read. And I'm reading Whatever Happened to Justice by Richard Maybury. He is a very intelligent and knowledgable guy, and I would highly recommend that you read his "Uncle Eric" series of books. Very easy to read, yet also enlightening. (He knows his stuff. He has a testimonial on his website for his newsletter, informing you that the Pentagon and the CIA both subscribe to it for $300 a year. He essentially caused a rift in the Pentagon with his view. Half of them agreeing with him and half of them not.) And I started The Final Storm by Jeff Shaara. He is among the best when it comes to war novels.

I finished reading Nevermore: A Maximum Ride Novel by James Patterson in, like, two and a half hours tonight. O.O My mind is stunned and I'm still having a bit of trouble breathing regularly.

^speaking of Maximum Ride, I may start reading Angel online today; I found a website last night
I've been reading the Sherlock Holmes stories, Vol. 1; it's been pretty good so far. I started reading it because I liked the new TV show (the Robert Downey Jr. movie that I've seen)

I finished Annie's Truth and it was excellent. I have to wait until next year for the second one. Next up for me is Westward Hearts by Melody Carlson. It is the first book in her Homeward on the Oregon Trail seris/trilogy. I enjoy Melody Carlson she has written many books in the Grace Chapel Inn series which I absolutely love.
