What I am reading now.....

I am officially back into Ted Dekker - I don't think I ever left his book club but did take a respite.  Showdown, while at times dragged a bit under the narrative chatter, was engaging and entertaining as well as fulfilling for a Spring Break Week.  I have now started this book - one I downloaded a while ago but never got around to reading.....


While Spring Break is officially over for me - back at work et al, with all the chaos and uncertainty going on around work, I have decided to try to make my evenings the most relaxing as I can (after all I am mylenating and gestating). So here I sit with my newly downloaded book, four chapters in and, sigh, I remember the circle series but forgot so much. I really hate books that keep reiterating what you already read in a previous book, but this time I find myself grateful.

I predict this book will be devoured over the weekend as my last book for Spring Break.

What I am reading now.....

Finished These Things Hidden and have started a new book. I have always loved this author but started to overdose on his prose and suspense.  That can't be all bad for an author to hear.  I have recently had a rekindling of sorts to his books and decided to place this book second in my queue.


Like many of Ted Dekker's books - this book has you intrigued from the very beginning. Cloaked in mystery and threats of a sinister plan and plot, the book grabs you seeking to devour it's first few chapters to find out what is going on....

Can't wait to dig into the heart of this book.....

What I am reading now.....

It is the official start of Spring Break for me and a Family Vacation. I have downloaded some books to my ENook to read while "relaxing." Key word - "RELAXING" - which seems to allude the family vaca.


This is the first up on Que - it has started out intriguing leading me to want to read more. There is something that sticks out in the plot as cliche' like the girl in jail shouldn't be in jail for what she did.....

The quick short chapters are easy to devour and move on. I find myself doing very little wandering between subjects and captivated by the different points of view each character brings to the story.

What I am reading now.....

I strive to be a good mom, pleasing and disciplining enough 80% of the time. I feel I miss the mark alot (to be quite honest with you).

I just picked up this book - or rather downloaded it on my ENook.


The author lives in Illinois and has a Chicago Flair to her writing.  I can totally relate to her.  I am slowly reading each chapter.  I take a break after a chapter to reflect and really digest all that she is saying.  I find this book refreshing and guiding.  I find this restores my desire to be the best mom God created me to be as well as hope that he will guide me there if I just stop, take a breath and listen to him. 

Praise God
