It’s pretty funny. When ever I recommend a book on the blog, I will have people tell me 4-6 months later that they read the book and LOVED it. I think that many of the reader here have some of the same book passions I do so let me recommend some of the tinges I’ve been reading (and loving) lately and ask you for some of your recommendations as well.
Physical Books (real ink and paper – both bought from The Tattered Cover in Denver, CO).
The Man Who Loved Books Too Much
Who knew that the theft of rare books is more common than art theft? Besides being a fascinating story about the buying and selling of rare books (if you love reading, I think you will find this as fascinating as I do,) as well as one of the most notorious thieves in recent history (who was based right here in Northern California.)
Oogy – A Dog Only a Family Could Love
When I first read the synopsis of this story – this young puppy being used as bait in a dog fighting ring because he refused to fight, I didn’t think I could handle hearing about any dog in pain. But Oogy’s spirit triumphs over his physical limitation and makes him someone you would love to bring into your own family.

I just read The Writing Circle (per Rachelle’s suggestion), and I’m re-reading The Irresistible Revolution (Shane Claiborne).
I am reading one of my “cozy” mystery series, Agatha Raisin, in “Busy Body”. I belong to the Mystery Book Guild. I enjoy trying to figure out ‘whodunit’. 🙂 If I can’t figure it out half way through–I read the end. 😀
I am currently reading “The Reason for God” by Tim Keller…
It is a delightful and cerebral approach to God. 🙂
Inside of a Dog: What Dogs See, Smell, and Know by Alexandra Horowitz. It’s personal, meandering, and witty–my kind of book!
I am reading Joel Rosenberg’s “The Twelfth Imam”
I am reading “The Christian Atheist” by Craig Groeschel. I am finding it very convicting.
I just finished up reading “Hannah’s List” by Debbie Macomber. I am heading to the library tomorrow to pick up some more books. 🙂
My Life In France by Julia Child. I’m reading it on my iPad/iPhone via iBooks. I really liked the Julia & Julie movie so I figured I might like this book. It’s conversational and easy to read. I’m liking it.
Ii am reading “Fannie’s Last Supper” by Christopher Kimball famous for Ameica’s Test Kitchen. It’s Non-fiction about the author researching, planning and hosting an authentic Victorian dinner party a la Fannie Farmer cook books. I saw him speak at Books, Inc. last Th. In the wings is “The Year of Living Biblically”. I have to read it instead of listen like I really want as I can’t find an unabridged audio version. I know u liked that book, Kathi.
I am reading Barbie Bassett’s ‘Faith and Forecasts’. She is a meteorologist in MS, also former title holder of Mrs. Mississippi. She is a mother of 3, works in the television industry, homeschools, does regular speaking engagements, and is an amazing woman of God. She is also my cousin, so I am very excited to read her book!
Well you k ow I share your love of Jen. But I’m reading bird by bird by Anne Lamott. Love her.
I just went to the library to check out some books. I love suspense and intrigue so I just checked a few Harlan Coben books-Caught and Gone for Good. I also got Sasquatch Legend Meets Science- I am not sure what to think of this one but I thought it would be entertaining. I would love a copy of the Man Who loved Books Too Much as it sounds right up my alley and has interested me since you mentione dit the first time.
I just finished reading, My Sister’s Keeper by Jodie Picoult. I cried. Hope all is well with you Kathy.
