I read the first five books a few months ago but had to make myself stop--I wasn't getting anything done while I was reading them. Maybe I'll have to borrow 6 and up from you sometime. They are so much better this time around--I missed so much reading them in elementary/middle school. Oh Christine, I love the Anne of Green Gables series!

These women challenge me and my perspective! I know you've read it, Rachel, but reading it again is even better. Also, I'm reading Heaven by Randy Alcorn and it's a great theological (but not too lofty) book about all things related to Heaven...it answers any question you've ever had about what Heaven is like. And I just finished Anne of Green Gables and am going to work through the series again. I even wrote in the book the last time I read it: 1990. It's fun to go back to an old favorite.

I liked Don't Make Me Count to Three for the same reason you said...it gave me some good practical applications of the principles set forth in Shepherding a Child's Heart. I marked several pages to go back to whenever I need a refresher. I have been reading And Then I Had Kids by Susan Alexander Yates, and it offers broad encouragement and advice to moms. I like it because it takes me out of my narrow focus (how to discipline my 19-month old) and reminds me to look at the big picture of what priorities, relationships, traditions, etc. our family as a whole should be striving for. At first I wasn't sure I liked this book b/c I thought the author was shying away from taking a side on certain issues (such as how to discipline), but then I learned to appreciate it for what it is. I have also been reading Loving God With All Your Mind by Elizabeth George, and all I can say is, it is wonderful! I highly recommend it! On the fiction side, I have gone back to reading all the classics I never read in high school (I didn't take any English courses in college.) In the past 2 months I have read David Copperfield (wonderful!), I finally read The Hiding Place (which I'm pretty sure you recommended, with very good reason!), and I have just completed a tour of Jane Austen: Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, and Pride and Prejudice (no one can believe that I had never read P&P before, but sadly enough, it's true!) Next on my list is Heart of Darkness (Conrad), and then either some Ayn Rand or Ernest Hemingway. I'd love to hear what suggestions you or Thomas have! Hi Rachel!
