Where do you find some of these books, totally unknown to me, but many of them sound very intriguing..
Ok, you have finished two books and I have barely made it through one!! I need to fix that. :)
I am always amazed when I see how many books people can get through in such a short amount of time! I'm amazed! I saw that you read "Same Kind of Different as Me" last month; my husband and I are reading that together right now and loving it! It is so challenging and beautifully written.
I linked over to you from Amoretti; I like your blog and especially the beautiful sunrise picture!
I love Norris and her Acedia is on my list for this year. Actually, I was thinking of starting it this weekend. Did you like it? Glad to find you and your blog through Half-Pint House. Blessings - B.
