my boys are turning into regular bookworms! they want to read Someone's Come to Our House and Curious George several times in one sitting, several times a day. but they also need to see their parents reading. i grew up in a house where books were sacred (correction: books ARE sacred). dad inhales theology books and science/metallurgy books while mom enjoys a good mystery between popular fiction and religious non-fiction. i tend to read what mom reads (i haven't opened a science book since freshman year biology at calvin).

so without further ado...here is my "fall into reading" challenge for the next three months:

1. Simply Christian I can't remember who recommended this book to me...(speak up if it was you!)

2. Father Melancholy's Daughter i read this a few years ago and it's sequel, Evensong and have wanted to re-read them for so long. this seems to be a good time to do so! i'll probably read only one of them this fall...

3. The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home. One of the many homeschooling books i want to read.

4. Simple Hospitality. Because I want our home to be your home-away-from-home. :)

5. Recovered Body. I saw Scott Cairns at the last Festival of Faith and Writing at Calvin several years ago and have always wanted to get a book of his poetry. I think it's about time.

Okay...so, your turn! And there is a "prize" with this challenge - $10 at Amazon!
