The only thing I love more than a good book
is a good book recommendation,
so here are a few we've enjoyed over the last couple of weeks...
The Holy Secret is the story of a man who comes to terms with the fact that he doesn't really love holilness.
I enjoyed the story,
but the real learning came as I read it again,
searching for nuggets of wisdom needed in my own life.
---
The Forgotten Garden was my guilty pleasure.
An abandoned child, a cottage garden, a secret book of fairy tales
and a mysterious past to be discovered - a fun read!
---
Left to Tell: Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust
is one of the best books I've ever read.
You'll weep over Immaculee's tragic circumstances
and cry tears of joy as she builds a relationship with God
that is beautiful beyond words.
Adam loved The Lost Hero,Camille is begging and pleading for the next book in
The Mysterious Benedict Society series,
and Matthew says no one should ever read a book
with the word "cuckoo" in the title.
Happy Reading!

Hi! I keep meaning to write you an actual email and keep not doing it. I haven't read Holy Secret, but enjoyed The Peacegiver by the same author. Forgotten Garden sounds good--I'll have to check it out. And Left to Tell . . . isn't that a life-changing book? So powerful.
If you're looking for other recommendations, I'm reading The Book Thief, and want to read The Help. Mrs. Mike is one of my all time favorites, and another friend recommends The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.
I'd love more ideas, too, if you have some old faves. Hope things are good!
How fun to see what you've been reading and what you guys did for Christmas and in the summer. Very cute photos and wonderful blog! (just needs more photos of YOU on it!) =)
We miss you lots!
Love Alicia and the Rileys
I really liked The Forgotten Garden and my brother gave me The Lost Hero for Christmas. We all listened to the Percy Jackson books on a road trip together a few years ago. I'd love to see more of what you all read.
