Buried in Books...
I have a feeling that this blog will turn into a book review list. I'm currently working my way down a tall stack, wondering why on earth I placed so many holds at the library, and reading as quickly as possible before due dates loom on the calendar. Then, of course, there is the surreptitous stealing of the husband's books while he is at work. He keeps threatening to steal my own books, so the war continues...
I just finished The Lost Princess, by George MacDonald. Loved it! Better to read as an adult, which is the mark of the best children's books. I hear that Michael Phillips has written a wonderful biography of MacDonald, has anyone read it?
I just started the Crosswick's Journal series by Madeleine L'Engle. The first book is called A Circle of Quiet, and is the published form of her journal that she kept of living with four generations in a Connecticut farmhouse for several summers running. Snippets of daily life interspersed with wonderful passages that make me stop and ponder each new idea. These are books to read slowly, savoring each page. I look forward to The Summer of the Great-Grandmother.

Oh, I really want to grab a book now :) Did you have a good time at Carrie's :)?
No, no car yet - we almost bought that one last saturday (it was a really pretty silver color). The dealer raised the price the day we came to buy it though. We are looking at a red civic tonight hopefully. Something is bound to work out soon here :)
