I'd read another of Lois Lowry's Newbery Award books, "Number the Stars," when I was in college (for a Children's Literature class). It was a great book, but I enjoyed "The Giver" more. There were parts of it that echoed "A Wrinkle in Time" -- that whole idea of "sameness." Keep reading those great books so we know what to read next!!!<br /><br />heatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23733807.post-88350993664702018292007-01-16T10:17:00.000-05:002007-01-16T10:17:00.000-05:00Love the varied books on your booklist.

It is with a Bible project called The Voice and you can download the 1st chapter @ www.hearthevoice.com.hearthevoice.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07785703271937801162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23733807.post-1168311421683959242007-01-08T21:57:00.000-05:002007-01-08T21:57:00.000-05:00I am REALLY enjoying it Bethany.

I only have a few chapters left. :-)<BR/><BR/>Re: the 50 books thing. I totally realize that the season of life I'm in makes it possible... and one day I will likely be happy to read 2 books a year. haha. It also helps that Jeff is just as into reading as I am. Much of our time is spent on the couch next to each other- or coffee table across from each other- devouring a book.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103373366727257334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23733807.post-1168307043290697712007-01-08T20:44:00.000-05:002007-01-08T20:44:00.000-05:00Hey how is Water For Elephants?

And of course Peace Like A River was excellent.<BR/><BR/>I picked up Power of One to read and plan on reading it hopefully next month. Just finished our BC book Till We Have Faces and started reading Complications which is facisnating.<BR/><BR/>For me...too many books not enough time. That and I keep falling asleep thanks to a little peanut sucking all my energy.<BR/><BR/>Keep us posted on your favs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23733807.post-1168257638276641732007-01-08T07:00:00.000-05:002007-01-08T07:00:00.000-05:00You should pick it up again, Ashleigh.

I was pleased with what I accomplished this year though. Especially since five or six of the books were well over 500 pages long. <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, sometimes I wonder why I didn't choose a different career path. Something to do with literature or something. How do those people who write book reviews get their jobs anyhow? I mean, I can write a blurb on the back of a book. :-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17103373366727257334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23733807.post-1168225494526399612007-01-07T22:04:00.000-05:002007-01-07T22:04:00.000-05:00Wow, Michelle!

And since I was pretty busy and it was so long, I didn't stick with it. Maybe I'll have to pick it up again in the future. Everyone in the book club seemed to like it.Ashleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11611314247240141904noreply@blogger.com
