NEW UPDATE: Oh, wow! The Kindle may be the death of our budget. I am finding myself reading so much more since I received it.
These are the books I have read since Christmas.
Dear John
Going Rogue
The Wedding
The Notebook
The Last Song
A Walk to Remember
A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity
Same Kind of Different as Me
THE TWO BEST IN MY OPINION: A Walk to Remember and Same Kind of Different As me
UPDATE: My book satchel now carries only one thing in it. It is called a Kindle and I am in heaven. My husband got it for me for Christmas and it is more than awesome. It will hold up to 1500 books and you can download them from Amazon from anywhere in the world. Some of them only cost 2 or 3 dollars and I haven't purchased any over $10. The whole series of Anne of Green Gables was only .99cents. Unbelievable. Some I've read--some I haven't but consider almost all of them to be classics. Downloaded on it now are these books:
Through Gates of Splendor--the story of Jim Elliott, the missionary to the Auca Indians. This was written by his wife, Elisabeth. A movie, The End of the Spear, was released a few years ago and is about this incredible adventure of love and sacrifice. I read this book for the first time over 40 years ago and it has been a life-defining book for me.
Reader's Digest--the magazine-yep, you can download magazines also.
Pride & Prejudice
The New Oxford American Dictionary
Uncle Tom's Cabin--I have never read this book but am looking forward to reading it especially since reading this review.
The Scarlet Letter
The One Year Bible, New Living Translation
Dear John by Nicholas Sparks
Holy Bible, NIV
Gone With the Wind
The Anne of Green Gables (the whole series)
A Bold, Fresh Piece of Humanity
Oh how I loved my red plaid book satchel. And every time I got a new one (which was rare) I got the exact same color. It was hard to beat. Come to think about it, it may have been my only choice. LOL
You can only place so many books in a satchel so these are the ones I would choose to carry with me wherever I go
the Bible
The Heavenly Man by Brother Yun
The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
Something More by Catherine Marshall
Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ by Madame Jeanne Guyon
Epicenter by Joel Rosenberg
Through Gates of Splendor by Elisabeth Elliott
P.S. I will be adding a bookshelf soon and maybe a library after that.
