I try to read through the bible once a year and I'm just a little bit behind because of a bible class. I'm trying to play catch up and as a result my other reading has taken a back seat. I'm a big C.S. Lewis fan and I have several of his books started. I can't wait to get back to them.

Perfect activity for this deep freeze weather! I just finished reading "The Book Thief." It has to go on the list as one of my favorites. Today I'm setting the books aside to finish crocheting a baby blanket. If I don't get it done, that sweet little grand niece will be walking before she gets her baby blanket. :-) Stay warm, Linda, and have a blessed day.
