I thought I’d give you all an updated list of everything I’m actively reading right now. It’s been awhile. It will also give you insight into some of the books I may be reviewing in the near future! I keep trying to get myself to read more (you wouldn’t think it would be that difficult, as much as I love to read!), but it’s hard sometimes. I’ve got much better though.
Hopefully I’ll have another book review for you all next week, either on Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express or Chautona Havig’s Nobel Pursuits. Haven’t decided yet. It’s barely possible I might review Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities instead… but I doubt it just yet.
So, without further ado…
Emma by Jane Austen Yes, I’m still reading this. Actually, I started it over and have made steady progress since.
The Lady’s Confession by George MacDonald Honestly, I thought this one was going to be a disappointment. It’s gotten better though. I’m nearly done with it now.
When I Don’t Desire God by John Piper I’ve barely started this one so far. I’m still in chapter one, actually, so I don’t have much of an opinion on it yet.
The St. Martin’s Guide to Writing by Rise B. Axelrod and Charles R. Cooper Another book I’ve barely started. It’s actually partly a workbook too, so I’m not just reading it. LORD willing I’ll go through the entire thing eventually, but I expect this to go a little slowly.
Basics of Music by Michael Zinn and Robert Hogenson This is a very informative book, which I’ve taken far too long to advance in. Another book that’s a workbook, but I have no excuse for the length of time it’s taking me to do it.
To the KING be all the glory!
Cool list! I just finished John Piper’s Don’t Waste Your Life and it was excellent. He’s a great writer. :)
I read more of it today, and I’m thinking that not only is he a great writer, he’s a very convicting one too. I love how much Scripture he uses.
Thanks for commenting! :)
What is Emma about? I kinda keep like, sorta hearing about it. Isn’t it about a matchmaker? Once I told Jamie I’d be her Emma. LOL! Yes.. I will totally find her a worthy husband if possible! :D
Emma is about a young woman, who tries to be a matchmaker. But that’s only part of the story. For one, she’s not as good at matchmaking as she imagines. In fact, she completely fails at it! She also thinks she’ll never marry… as you can imagine, she’s wrong. lol
The story also follows the several characters around who live in the nearby vicinity. The characters are quite colorful and well written. When I finish, maybe I’ll review it in depth. :)
Oh I see. :) Thanks.
