This weekly reading list meme is hosted at Book Date. Join in to see what others are reading and maybe get some ideas of what to read next! Although the Book Date link-up happens weekly, I don't manage to post that often. I aim to post and link about once a month, although I sometimes link up my monthly summary as well.
I finished reading . . .

To Dwell Among Cedars by Connilyn Cossette - Eliora flees her Philistine homeland to follow the ark of the covenant to Hebrew territory, where she finds a loving home with a priestly family. (Read my full review HERE)
The Calm I Seek by Christina Lourens - Rebecca is cautiously opening her wounded heart to Gabriel when she finds that he hasn't been completely truthful about something. Then a family tragedy strikes with the potential to splinter the family further or bring them all together. A novel about forgiveness and second chances. (Read my full review HERE)
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley - I had finished this one when I wrote my last summary (a month ago!) but hadn't written up a review yet. You can now find that review HERE.
Silas Marner by George Eliot - This classic was next for our Lit class, and once again I've finished the book but haven't finished a review yet. Watch for it soon!
I'm currently reading . . .
Grateful: The Transformative Power of Giving Thanks by Diana Butler Bass - A thoughtful look at defining gratitude and how we understand and express it in different ways. This was my November Online Book Club choice, but I didn't quite finish by the end of the month.
A Pretty Deceit by Anna Lee Huber - Verity and Sydney help out a relative by looking into the disappearance of some the artwork from the estate, and they are still on the trail of a traitor to England.
One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp - I started reading this just before Thanksgiving and need to finish up! Beautiful, lyrical writing that gives such a sense of peace.
Everyday Confetti by Karen Ehman & Glynnis Whitwer - This is my December Online Book Club pick. I'd just loaded it to my Kindle when our theme was assigned - Celebration - and it seemed perfect.
The Christmas Bargain by Shanna Hatfield - A town banker accepts the daughter of a farmer as payment on a defaulted loan because he doesn't want the young woman to suffer any further abuse.
The Last Book in the Universe by Rodman Philbrick - I'm re-reading this YA novel along with the students in my fiction writing class.

What I'm Highlighting . . . Along with a few blogging friends, I'm participating in an Online Book Club that will be a little different. Instead of all reading the same title, we'll be reading books that have a theme in common. That way readers of all ages, homeschoolers or not, can participate. Our theme for December is Celebrations. Stop by Homeschool Coffee Break to find out more.

I had to read Frankenstein and Silas Marner in college. I didn’t like either of them very much :). Have a great week!

ReplyDeleteI loved Frankenstein when I read it. Enjoy your reads!
An eclectic selection! Something for every mood you're in over the course of the month!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list of books. I like how you're reading classics and recent books around the same time. I don't read enough classics.
