next on my reading list...

I had not been able to read a book for leisure since before Mylin's birth!
Before she arrived Joel and I reread Francine Rivers The Mark of the Lion series
The heroin is an amazing woman of Christ named Hadassah and we wanted to use it if our baby was a girl (hence Mylin Hadassah Draper)
6 loooooong months later I am deep into Francine Rivers latest saga, Marta's Legacy
I have finished Her Mother's Hope and am currently addicted to Her Daughter's Dream (more extensive review of this saga to come later)

Next on my reading list are 2 books my wonderful husband got me for Christmas:

The Busy Woman's Guide to a Balanced Life: quick and easy tips for managing the 10 most important areas of a woman's life: family, finances, friendship, health, hospitality, marriage, self, singles, spiritual life, and work (from Today's Christian Woman magazine)

Then comes my absolute favorite genre: historical fiction!
Journey to the Well by Diana Wallis Taylor

What have you been reading lately?

What historical fiction books can you recommend for me?!

  2. Hey Rache--

    I also LOVE Francine Rivers...The Mark of the Lion series is definitely one of my favorites. Have you ever read her book The Last Sin Eater? I think that is my absolute favorite book of hers (and maybe my favorite fiction book overall). I highly recommend it if you haven't read it. We also have the movie, but the book is a little better.

    Excited to get Mylin and Ivy together again sometime :)
