Monthly I meet with some ladies to discuss marriage and how I/we can become better, more Godly wives. We recently finished The Proper Care & Feeding of Husbands by Dr. Laura Schlessinger - - - and now we've dived into Dr. Crabb's book - The Marriage Builder.
I read this book during Mr. McGoo and my engagement... it has been cool to read it again now that we're over three years into marriage. Although only reading a chapter a month will make us work on this book for awhile... it's a goody and still on my book corner current reads!
One of my 2009 Christmas gifts from Mr. McGoo (so sad that sometimes it takes me this long to get through my reads), I am currently making my way through Jen Hatmaker's Ms. Understood. Although I LOVED Interrupted - like seriously loved it and was definitely challenged and stirred by it, as noticed by the post here and here,.... so far in my minimal journey of Ms. Understood I'm not captivated and/or impressed. So far I'm not relating to the topic that much, but I'm not giving up as I've barely broken the surface of the book. Time will tell and I'll try to remember to re-evaluate or discuss my impressions upon completion.
WOW! So when I went to get the web link for The Mortal Instruments, I've just learned that book three is not the completion of the series! Apparently the series will have six books total - never realized/knew that. Hmm, learn something new everyday.
Anyway, off the suggestion of a friend that is an avid reader and knew I enjoyed the Twilight series, I requested these books for Christmas this past year. I've complete two of the three currently available, and have enjoyed them. They are EASY reads, simple, entertaining, and pure fiction. Although much of the story line involves angels, demons, vampires, werewolves and any other figure you can think of that mixes within those group, I have found them to be quick, easy, fun fiction to read. I guess, my Mortal Instruments pursuit is far from over with three more books coming soon.
Easy to see now what I mean about having three different books with three different contexts, topics, and points of life:
- 1 spiritual help/conviction regarding marriage
- 1 spiritual help/discussion on feminitiy
- 1 silly fiction
Yay for diversity in my reading corner - we'll see how much I accomplish in the next couple of weeks. But for now, this book worm is looking forward to the next time she can open one of those books and dive right in.
