VBS

We are having Vacation Bible School this week, and it's wearing me out! I'm helping out in the arts and crafts room, and it's really fun. So far we have made necklaces with strips of bandana fabric and charms, and prayer journals. So hopefully soon I will get some photos downloaded and get caught up with my blog.... Talk to you soon!

Books I'm Reading

Twilight by Sarah Meyer
Eat, Love, Pray
Water for Elephants
Can't Wait to Get to Heaven, Fannie Flagg
The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett This is supposed to be such a page-turner! Why can't I make myself pick it up? 1/8/07: OK, so it is a page turner. But that doesn't mean I like it.
The Memory Keeper's Daughter. I've put off reading this (not sure why), but so far it's a page-turner-take-along-with-me-wherever-I-go book.
I'm back to The Whole World Over, and I've gotten into it this time. One note of interest is that she has included a character from Three Junes, which is a nice touch. Once I got about halfway through this, it really picked up. I'm glad that I read it.
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
The Road, by Cormac McCarthy. I've had a little trouble getting in the Julia Glass novel. I've heard this one is a quick read so I've started it in hopes of getting a book read this summer. So far, everything I've heard about it is true.... 9/5/07: Heartbreaking and disturbing. The way we're used to living our lives could change in an instant. It's way too easy to get caught up in the trivialities. It's the basic things that are most important.
The Whole World Over, by Julia Glass. I picked this up at the Las Vegas airport. I really loved her first book, Three Junes, and I hope this one is just as good!
Born on a Blue Day, A Memoir (Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant) by Daniel Tammet This was an excellent book! It is difficult to fathom how his mind works. But I really admire what he has done with his life, and his level of independance, and that he has written a book! The ending is very satisfying. I appreciate how he lives his life, holding close to the principles of simplicity and self-sufficiency.
Veil of Roses, by Laura Fitzgerald. One my friend Shierine gave me. An easy read, I found it hard to put down! "This compelling debut follows one spirited young woman from the confines of Iran to the intoxicating freedom of America..."
