reading edited

I've been reading quite a bit lately.

I started this reading binge with The Shack. This is easily one of the best books I've ever read and would highly recommend it to anyone. It's a thought-provoking story and it might challenge your beliefs and ideas, and possibly your faith. I can not say enough about this book and its power. Eloquently written and now an all time favorite of mine.

I also read a new Nicholas Sparks' book, Change of Heart. CORRECTION: I wrote the wrong title here. Nicholas Sparks' new book is actually The Lucky One. Change of Heart is another book I got for Christmas by another one of my favorite authors, Jodi Picoult. Thanks Amy for catching my error so I could correct it. Another great novel by Mr. Sparks. I think this might be my favorite of the ones of his I've read, though I've thoroughly enjoyed them all. Thanks Tim and Melissa! It was a a wonderful Christmas present!! :)

I just finished The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King. I've always shied away from Stephen King novels because I don't like scary and gory, but this one was totally different. Very suspenseful, but not scary or gory at all. I've also been informed that Stephen King has written several novels which are not of the scare/gore genre. My friend Christie is a Stephen King addict and loaned me 3 of his non-scary novels. I'm getting ready to start Delores Claiborne tonight. Hopefully, it will be just as good. Thanks, Christie for turning me on to a new author!

Happy reading!
