...of books I've read. I haven't had time to report. Let me know if any of them picque your interest, and you want to know more.
11. The Girl who Fell From the Sky, Heidi Durrow
12. On Christian Liberty, Martin Luther (re-read for a short essay I wrote recently; the essay may be published!)
13. Preaching from Memory to Hope, by Thomas Long (He's awfully hard on Marcus Borg, but I like the idea of movement, and how hope is integral to good preaching).
14. The Book Thief, Marcus Zusack (May book club book)
15. Instructions, by Neil Gaiman (counter-intuitive life instructions for graduates and others)
16. Healthy Congregations: A Systems Approach, by Peter Steinke (I posted a little about this here.)
17. Jesus Freak, by Sara Miles. (The first book I read on my "nook".)
18. Leaving Yesterday, Kathryn Cushman. (June book club, religious fiction)
19. The Underneath, Kathi Appelt
Not so impressive, actually, if you consider that it is June 30, and I'm not to 20 yet! I have two or three books I'm working on right now. But I've been distracted, and reading magazine articles and essays rather than books right now. I've been having fun re-reading Little House in the Big Woods right now (looking at the old, original illustrations by Helen Sewell.)
So -- any book here you want to know more about? Let me know.

Which one did you enjoy the MOST?
Good question...I think I enjoyed "The Girl Who Fell From the sky," because it was unusual -- not something a lot of people were reading.
The main character has a Danish mother, and an African-american father, and there is some mystery about an event that occurred in her past.
Thanks, Diane. Maybe I'll get it for my vacation!
