October Reading

November 7, 2012 by Tracey 1 Comment

I was able to get a number of good books read during October.  Some of these were on my Kindle; others were good, old-fashioned paper.

  • The Life of John Bunyan by Edmund Venables.  I’d never read a biography of John Bunyan and found this an interesting study of his life.
  • When You Come Home: The True Love Story of a Soldier’s Heroism and His Wife’s Sacrifice by Nancy Cavin Pitts
  • The Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss.  A great classic that I’d never read, I enjoyed it so much that I’m having my eleven-year-old read it as well.
  • The Reagan Diaries by Ronald Reagan edited by Douglas Brinkley.  This was 693 pages of Ronald Reagan….yes, I’m a fan.
  • Doing Things Right in Matters of the Heart by John Ensor
  • Life on the Old Plantation in Ante-Bellum Days by Rev. I. E. Lowery
  • With the Master on Our Knees by Susan J. Heck.  This was one of the books on my 2012 (and 2011!) reading list.

The girls and I finished Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie (not one of my favorites) and Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes.  (Since I was reading this one aloud, I was able to edit out the few references to “cursed” Yankees, a.k.a. American rebels.)

    I always get good reading suggestions for you, and I don't need them! I've already got more books to read than time to read them. *Sigh* A biography of John Bunyan sounds like a good read. I've read and enjoyed Swiss Family Robinson, and I actually like Peter Pan. I've already read it to my children.
