Who commented:
I found "The Long Walk to Water" fascinating and edifying. Salva could have stayed in America and pursued the "American dream." Instead he returned good for evil. That is forgiveness. And think how it spoke to Nya, to have a man from the enemy tribe come give them water. That is love. He will certainly have his reward.
My 2nd book of choice was called "The Seamstress." It was the true story of Sara, a Jew, who survived the hellish conditions of Ravensbruck during the Holocaust. Sara herself helped write the book. Although Sara never gave God the glory for enabling her to survive the camp, neither did she become a bitter person. I will not give too many details just in case one of you want to read her book. It is very worth your time.
Thanks, Joanna, for bringing "The Long Walk to Water" to my attention. I am happy for all the books you suggest. For as you know, I love to read!!!
Congratulations, Christa! I think these pillows will feel right at home with you, my sister and fellow-bookworm!!!
A special thank-you goes to Piper (who left her review here), Kara and Christa for joining me in this month's reading challenge! It was an honor to have you take part in my virtual book club and I really enjoyed hearing your thoughts on A Long Walk To Water, plus the other books you read. It sounds like I have a few more to add to my stack of books to read, which is always a good thing!
Any suggestions from you all on what to read next?

ReplyDeleteHappy you got them, Christa! Thanks, Joanna for hosting your online monthly book club. I don't always read the book right away, but I have gotten some great ideas for future reads! Right now I have a stack of books sitting on my Living room table, and am currently reading E.M. Forster's A Passage to India. Not sure what it will end up being like, but that's part of the fun of reading something you've never tried before. The Light Between Oceans is still on my hope to read list!
ReplyDeleteI do have a suggestion: Have you read "Jacob Have I Loved?" by Katherine Patterson. It's a young adult book. A good summary can be found at http://www.bookrags.com/studyguide-jacob-have-i-loved/#gsc.tab=0.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion, Piper! I just ordered a copy from the library and I look forward to checking it out! It's time to choose a book for July, so I appreciate your help. Please feel free to send more my way! :)
