It’s Monday! What are you reading?

213
Fascinating Womanhood by Helen Andelin, – read page 40-61; I am learning that my DH is a pretty typical man; he’s ALL MAN.  And I love that, however, it is frustrating at times.  Hopefully I am learning how to interact with him a little more smoothly.  I think I am.  He’s an incredible man and deserves to be treated in such a way that says that.

The Magician’s Book by Laura Miller – read page 44-58; Every time I pick up this book I struggle to get back into her tone and style.  However, the longer I read and get into her writing groove, I find it easier to keep reading.  I’m not giving up on this one.  I love the discussion on C. S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia.

A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers – read pages 107-173; I never thought I’d be so into this book.  I started out so slow.  Now I am way ahead of the discussion in my book club.  I am loving the development of the characters and the relationships that are building.  I can’t wait to read more (another day) to find out what happens next.
One Year To An Organized Financial Life by Regina Leeds, on page 108

Managers of Their Homes by Steve and Terri Maxwell, read pages 1-47; You know how every once in a while you come across a book that you wish you’d come across a LONG TIME AGO???  Well, that would be this book.  However, sometimes that book is one that would not have “hit you” the same had you come across it 6 months or a year ago.  KWIM?  Well, that would be this book.  I think I’m to a place where I am “getting it”.  I need this now.  I am developing a plan and a schedule and a system and I REALLY REALLY hope it’s going to work.  I am committing to making it work, but I am taking it really slow and following the steps to get to the end, to get to the plan.

Hi! Found you from the meme.

Have you read Francine River's Redeeming Love? It's *awesome*. I liked it even better than Voice in the Wind.

Chores is sitting on my desk waiting to be read.

I have been wanting to read Sheet Music, but I don't think it's even on my TBR list yet. It's just in the back of my mind still.

These are some good suggestions. Thanks for your comment.
