That being said I really enjoy Jody Picoult and I will devour any John Grisham book I can get my hands on (lucky for me my grandpa's a big fan and usually buys his books when they come out!)<br /><br />KirstenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-965252509339415412016-04-01T16:23:44.812-04:002016-04-01T16:23:44.812-04:00Thanks!

Classic: Moby ...Oh, oh, I love giving suggestions! <br />Classic: Moby Dick. Ahab is a really arresting character and the whole story is coloured by the concept of sin.<br /><br />Fairy Tale: The Princess and the Goblin, by George MacDonald. It's short, beautiful, and MacDonald was a pastor who C.S. Lewis credits with "baptising" his imagination.<br /><br />Short Stories: The Complete Stories by Flannery O'Connor. They're so gut-wrenching, in a great way though. A window into the hearts of broken people, most of them big fans of Jesus.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652352803297941413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-53770665573824743552016-04-01T13:47:43.453-04:002016-04-01T13:47:43.453-04:00What novels?

We have an AMAZING library at our church so I usually read about a novel a week. Which seems like a lot (and I don't have that much time... ha ha). But I am a really really fast reader :) People tease me that I get so engrossed in a book that I won't hear you if you are talking to me!! Read on Friend. <br /><br />KirstenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-89060052525122188522016-04-01T12:09:36.361-04:002016-04-01T12:09:36.361-04:00Hi Lana! it IS complicated!

You need to download Adobe Digital Editions (free) on your computer, and then sign up for an account at Overdrive.com and register your local libraries on Overdrive. Overdrive connects with Adobe digital editions, and that connects to your Kobo :)Emily Morricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331780147271948152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-43857325552627450572016-04-01T08:57:58.469-04:002016-04-01T08:57:58.469-04:00Great post!

I go to the library more frequently now and currently, have the following books on my nightstand: Unveiling Grace (excellent - I am rereading the glossary!), Breaking the Vicious Cycle (on GI health - yet to start), Girl on Train (recommended by a colleague), and The Secret of Midwives. I am looking forward to reading a book called Saving Alex and I am hoping it will have the same feel to Unveiling Grace but I am not sure. <br /><br />The problem is - I received a Kobo a few years ago as a gift and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get books from my library on it. I have attempted at least 5 times but to no avail! Any tips? Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11109151432676593558noreply@blogger.com
