God Loves Ugly… I
am so grateful for this book! This one is super important for bulimics. Anyone
actively working on their own healing can benefit greatly from it but bulimics
especially will get so much out of Christa Black’s story!
Hidden Among the Stars… Because my current writing project is a time-slip novel, I’ve been
in the mood for those here lately. I had a few other Melanie Dobson books on my
list but I let this one sneak in over those when I read the premise. I was in
the mood for a good WWII book and this one absolutely did not disappoint! I was
so interested in every character and the last 90 pages just flew by in one
powerful sitting. Ryan was reading his own book and when he leaned over and
said, “Wow, read this paragraph,” I jumped in fright because I had been so
absorbed in the story! I can't wait to read more of her books!
Riding Freedom… I
loved Esperanza Rising as a kid and Echo a year or two ago so when my
mother-in-law grabbed this one at her local used bookstore I was very
interested. This was a fictionalized account of a real, very empowered woman
and there was a lot of fascinating horse information inside. I added it to my
kids’ bookshelf as a good book for around fourth grade.
Three Dollar Mule…
Clyde Robert Bulla is my son’s favorite author right now so we read this one
(found through The Good and theBeautiful’s book list) together as a read-aloud. I appreciated the family
dynamic and he was engaged and interested the entire time so this one is going
in our second-grade-ish bookshelf.
What Every Child Should Know About Prayer… We read this as a daily devotional for a while
and it went over pretty well. I liked Everyonea Child Should Know a little more, and I think my six-year-old did too, but
in general, all of my kids liked this one and it spurred some really interesting
conversation on prayer, “unanswered” prayers, etc.
