Read, reading, and to be read
[image error]
I might not be the most fastidious when it comes to regular blogging, but this month I at least have a good reason! I’ve upped my game when it comes to reading and writing. As much as I really love keeping up this blog, I think my time (and maybe yours, too) is better spent elsewhere.
And I’ve read (and listened to) a lot of great books recently! Here’s another drive by of my read, reading, and to be read list!
Recently Read
The Color of Magic
Not posting any spoilers here, as I expect to do a full review of this one- but I will say it was a rollercoaster of a read for me!
The Pastor’s Wife
This was a dense but practical read for wives of those in ministry. I found it extraordinarily helpful and would recommend!
Hidden with Christ
A memoir, devotional, and counseling guide for survivors of sexual abuse. Heart-wrenching and hopeful- a definite recommend from me on this one, and not just because I know the author!
Blood of Elves
This is the sequel to The Last Wish, featured on my Audible’s Laudables segment. I continued with the audio on Blood of Elves. Another excellent story, but another RIDICULOUS cliff-hanger. Come on, Sapkowski, I can only handle so much suspense!
The Chronicles of Narnia- From The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe to The Silver Chair

Audio dramatization, which I reviewed here. It was a treat for both adult and child alike!
Am Reading
Ender’s Game
Holy Cowbells Batman! This story is so gripping I can hardly put it down. Look for a review on this in the near future!
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
My pre-K aged child is absolutely enchanted with the world of Narnia. We’re working through the Dawn Treader (her choice) at a surprisingly normal pace. Stay tuned for if we ever finish the written books!
Joy Beyond Agony
Working through study for a ladies’ Bible study I help teach. I’m finding it full of good stuff so far.
The Time of Contempt
Oh man, it just picks up where Blood of Elves left off and I’m like CIRI YOU’RE THE COOLEST CHARACTER AND I’M SO WORRIED ABOUT WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN
The Magician’s Nephew
Had to get the little one started off right with TLTWATW; we’re circling back around so that she can make the character connections. (If you’re wondering, introducing your kids to the stuff you love is one of the best parts of parenting.)
To Be Read
I am Legend
“That ending was…weird,” I said after watching the movie adaptation. But WAIT! There’s a book with a more poetic ending to it (or so I’ve been told). I can’t wait.
A Threat of Shadows
I’ve heard a lot of great stuff about this book and author. AND! It’s 99 cents on Kindle right now! Get it here.
Baptism of Fire

There’s more? You’re killing me, Sapkowski. *sigh* There goes next month’s audible credit.
Hey! I want to hear from you- give me your read, reading, and to be read in the comments or in your own post!
