Good Books

I've gone through a string of several books in the last month and a few of them have been pretty good. So, I'll give you faithful blog readers 3 recommendations.

Let Me Be a Woman by Elisabeth Elliot - I have read and enjoyed the book Passion and Purity by Elliot, so when I got this book I was excited to read it. I was not let down. Elliot does and amazing job explaining what it means to be a biblical woman. I was extremely challenged in my role as a wife. This book is for any woman in any stage of life but it really spoke to me in my current stage of being married for only 7 months.

Next by Michael Crichton - I'm a big Crichton fan and enjoyed reading this book. This novel dealt with the topic of genetic engineering, so it was pretty intriguing. Although, if you've never read Crichton before I would recommend starting with Congo, Jurassic Park or The Rising Sun (all great novels).

Princess Academy by Shannon Hale - Hale has been a recent discovery of mine. Most of her writing consists of fairy tales in the youth fiction section but they are a joy to read. I just finished Princess Academy (Newbery Honor Book) and was captivated by the story. I've read a couple other books by her this fall but this was my favorite.

Happy reading (even if you don't read these books)!
