Summer Reading…

I’m so excited to get back on a normal reading schedule this summer. I’ve been a reader almost my whole life and I’ve missed the wonderful experience of curling up with a good novel or being really challenged by something outside my Master’s program. Here’s what’s on my list for this summer:

NOVELS:
The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

- I stumbled across this book in the Young Adults section in Barnes & Noble (a great place to browse if you haven’t been there in a while!). I finished it a few weeks ago and it was fabulous. Pretty direct message about the negative effects of media (or the potential effects, at least), but good overall. It even managed to surprise me a few times.

The Sweet Potato Queens’ First Big Ass Novel by Jill Conner Browne

White Chocolate Moment by Lori Wick

- I finished this one a while back as well. It was good in that it was right on par with most of Wick’s writing. I happen to enjoy it as a change once in a while (something straight-forward and romantic without being too naughty). It’s not a book that will challenge your intellect or your theology, but it was a fun read.

The Egyptologist by Arthur Phillips

The Once and Future King by T.h. White

NON-FICTION:
Miles to Cross by Mike Howerton

Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell

Church History in Plain Language by Bruce L. Shelley

The Azusa Street Mission and Revival by Cecil M. Robeck

Believers by Jeffery L. Shuler

The Civil War by Geoffrey Ward

Cary Grant by Marc Eliot

What’s on your list?

Peace. Out.
