Some of you know that around mid-June, I was able to once again pursue my love of reading. I was devouring books left and right. A few were even read in 24 hours or less. At the time, I still was working 'hoot-owls' (Erin H. will undoubtedly know that phrase) at Publix, and found reading to be the best way to wind down after I came home when Dave and Drew were sleeping.
I secretly joined my mom and sister's UN-official competition to see who could read the most books in 2008. Well, for someone who started 6 months into the year, I was gaining on them pretty quickly.
After I left Publix at the beginning of September, I was excited as far as my reading because I thought, "Man, this is great. I will be able to read so much more, and at a quicker pace!" Can you believe that I am stuck on three books that I was reading at that exact date? I haven't made ANY progress! How did this happen?! I am amazed that I have found so many things to do, both at home and otherwise, that I haven't even managed to pick the books up!
So, I'm currently in the middle of The Shack, Shepherding a Child's Heart, and The Mommy Diaries. Is anyone reading any of these currently, or have you read one of these? If so, I would love to hear any feedback you have on any of the above titles. I'm hoping you can entice me to make time and finish these books!

I'm in the process of reading The Shack...but I haven't gotten very far. Like you, I thought when I was home, I'd have all this extra time (even working from home) - but it just seems I'm just as busy...maybe even more so! :)
LOVED Sh a CH Heart - so good. Getting ready to start The Shack.
I'm reading Shepherding a Child's Heart right NOW! I'm a slow reader, and only 1/2 way through it, but I have LOVED it. It's really made me take a fresh and more spiritually focused look at my role as a parent. Awesome book.
I had to read SHACH when I was at FBA, now that I'm a mom I feel like I should read it again b/c it was really insiteful. Read "The Shack" 2 weeks ago and it was amazing. I hope you enjoy it!
P.S. Sorry I stalked your blog... I have a problem with that. :)
I am constantly reading Shepherding A Child's heart. It's great...and encouraged me on a daily basis:-)
I would be interested to hear what you have to say about The Shack. It is a highly controversal book. I have read a lot about it, but not actually read the book. Who wrote The Mommy Diaries? Is it a MOPS book? I feel like I should know about it.
