March Reading

April 10, 2012 by Tracey 6 Comments

I’m a bit behind on posting my March reading, but here are the books I read last month.  I’m enjoying reading books on my Kindle!

  • Chasing Mona Lisa by Tricia Goyer and Mike Yorkey.  This was an interesting fiction read set in Paris near the end of World War II.
  • Taking Care of the Me in Mommy by Lisa Whelchel offered some helpful suggestions for growth in various areas of life.
  • Letters of a Woman Homesteader by Elinore Pruitt Stewart.  This is a collection of letters from a young widow who moved out West in the early 1900’s.
  • Men of the Bible by D.L. Moody.  This book contained some great spiritual truths and is one I plan to read again.
  • Parking Lot Rules and 75 Other Ideas for Raising Amazing Children by Tom Sturges.  I didn’t find much new in the parenting arena here.
  • Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.  I had never read this classic, but found it very interesting!
  • True Devotion by Dee Henderson.  I’ll admit to reading more fiction than usual this month!  I enjoyed reading about Navy SEALS in this first in a series about uncommon heroes.
  • Farm Fresh Southern Cooking by Tammy Algood.  This cookbook offers recipes for turning farm fresh produce into tasty meals.  I’ll post a review on it later.

Have you read any good books lately?

    These sound like good books. I really enjoy Pride and Prejudice when I read it, and I've got a book by Dee Henderson on my "to read" list.

    How in the world do you find so much time to read?

      Well, since I don't knit, crochet, or sew like some of my talented friends 😉 reading is one of my favorite hobbies. Sometimes I'll find 15-20 minutes to read during the day – in the morning while the girls are doing independent school work, in the afternoon while they're playing by themselves, or after supper when they're taking baths/showers and getting ready for bed.

      However, most of my reading is done at night, after the girls are in bed. We watch very little television – and often, even if it's on, I'll be reading unless there's something on that really interests me. I think I'm a pretty fast reader, too, so I guess that helps. 🙂

      I've started another book by Jane Austen – Persuasion. Have you read that one?

      Yes, I've read all of Austen's books, but I think my favorite is Pride and Prejudice, although I really enjoy Emma as well. Have you read Emma?

      Oh, and I wish I could read and crochet at the same time. I'm not so good at listening to books; I need to see what I'm reading because I'm so visual. And sometimes I have to go back and reread paragraphs when I miss something which you can't do for books on tape. Oh, well. And when I try to read with my little ones around, they bring me a book to read to them. How can I tell them no?

      No, I haven't read Emma. I'll have to make it my next one!
