In reply to David. Just wanted to say I downloaded and read the Kindle sample. I like it enough for it to make me think - so I've just now bought the book (on Kindle).

The Giver of Stars sounds really good to me. I’ve never read this author’s books before, but have seen them around many blogs. I like to add variety to my reading, so I mix up genres each time. I’ve all but stopped reading nonfiction on heavier subjects as I get too much of that already in real life. August’s favorite books for me were Rebel Spy and Today Tonight Tomorrow. I recently finished How It All Blew Up and Watch Over Me, both enjoyable.

I really enjoyed The Giver of Stars and found the history of the Pack Horse Librarians absolutely fascinating!!

Dear Lisa, this and your “Five things I love” posts are always such treats, real rays of sunshine. I have a bunch of books on the go but feel like I’m not reading anything — perhaps none of them are really grabbing me. The Four Laws of Love looks intriguing and might challenge me in a good way. I’ll check out a sample (now have a Kindle on my iPad).

Books are definitely contagious and my TBR list, I don’t even want to count it, I’d no doubt be mortified at that number!

Your R number made me laugh!

I am a big Jojo Moyes fan so should really pick that book up to read. And that’s how the R number happens!

yes books beget books and so does your list. I just ordered the Enneagram and spiritual formation so will be fun to compare notes. Heard much about Be the Bridge but haven’t read it yet. glad to read your review.

My book R number is definitely way above 1! And even though I have so many books to read I still always love discovering more. I really enjoyed The Giver Of The Stars too. One that I’m enjoying at the moment is The Powerful Purpose Of Introverts by Holley Gerth. I’ll be sharing about it on my blog in a couple of weeks.

I always love your posts about books, Lisa. You have given so many good suggestions that I have thoroughly enjoyed! I think I should read Be the Bridge. I do belong to their FB group and I would love to find a local group close to me too. Maybe you and I should start local groups ourselves!

I just finished Elizabeth Gouge’s The Scent of Water – I’d never heard of her before and I am so glad to have found such an author to read on a day that needs reading. I’m getting ready to start Gleanings of Grace by Thea Coker – she spoke at a woman’s retreat this weekend and did a reading from her book – the storyteller who weaves is one of my favorite genres – and I just fell in love with how she told her story.
