I was in the right place for both Gilead and then Home, but I know that they would have been rough reads at different seasons of my life. Good for you, knowing when to put a book down!

I find that I need to be in the right frame of mind for Marilynne Robinson. I will try again when my circumstances are different. I, too, look forward to your thoughts on N&N. I read it a long time ago but my brain is bigger now so I am thinking that I should read it again. I am now reading Pilgrim's Regress by C.S.Lewis, The Narnian by Alan Jacobs and As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust (a Flavia mystery)by Alan Bradley. prairiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585280600518504607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-34836247461376030782015-03-06T16:06:50.950-08:002015-03-06T16:06:50.950-08:00I can't wait until you tell us what you think ...I can't wait until you tell us what you think of Norms and Nobility.

I put off buying Honey for a Teen's Heart, but I really needed it now that my son is 13...and I'm so glad I did. I promise to share more details in an upcoming post.<br /><br />Meghan~ I love "marinating in Gilead"--what a great way to put it! I have never read Middlemarch. There's another book for the to-read list...<br />Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878817427434603915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-30822606779738299362015-03-06T10:11:45.490-08:002015-03-06T10:11:45.490-08:00I've been marinating in Gilead for a few month...I've been marinating in Gilead for a few months now, finishing up Daring Greatly by Brene Brown, reading The Wind in the Willows aloud, and I just finished Middlemarch by George Eliot, which I loved loved loved. I was shocked by how much I loved it, and now I think it's in my top 10.

We checked out the child's edition so many times I just need to buy it. Our boys keep growing (and none of our libraries carry the teen edition) so a recommendation from someone like you would help me decided if I need to buy it too. <br /><br />This week we're reading aloud The Mysterious Howling (Incorrigible Children #1) and I'm working on The Sweetness of Forgetting...Alzheimer's, WWII mysteries, and endless descriptions of French pastries!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04799615426645511219noreply@blogger.com
