We have had appointments, are back to school after being sick (& the holidays), and have slowly dug ourselves out from under the piles of backed up chores...but in the midst of all of that here is what I read:
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (actually listened to this one). This week's bingo challenge was "Fire" and one of the choices was a Phoenix...so of course I chose Harry Potter. I think I have read/listened to this series probably a hundred times, if not more. My favorite are the first five books. I enjoyed this time through just as much as all the other times.
A Heart Once Broken by Jerry S. Eicher. This was to fulfill a Brighter Winter Challenge : read a book by an Anabaptist author. I have read Amish fiction before and am always amazed by how vastly different their lives are from ours. With that said, I got swept up into the lives of the three women it featured : Lydia, Sondra, and Rosemary. All-in-all I enjoyed it.
A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck. Oh my goodness - Richard Peck is an UTTERLY delightful author. He can weave together sentences in such a masterful, effortless way making you either laugh out loud or cringe in embarrassment or simply feel any feeling that the character was experiencing. This was to fulfill the Brighter Winter Challenge : read a John Newberry Award/Medal/Honor book.
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. This is a re-read and to fulfill the challenge of reading a novella for Brighter Winter. I honestly prefer to watch "The Man Who Invented Christmas", but this was an easy challenge to check-off. (I finished this this week, but began reading it last week)
