The Horse and His Boy: CS Lewis

My least fave I'm afraid. It just has too much of a tinge of un PC-ness.. (I hesitate to say racism but.. )

Still a good story!

Witches: Roald Dahl

Love it! No complicated plot twists, no weird dark family secrets, a true product of its time. I guess it shows that I am a product of mine that I was expecting the grandma to turn out to be a witch herself, the docored soup to go to the wrong table, or for the witches to win. Oh how my innocence has been stolen!

Captivating: John and Stasi Eldridge

What to say? I actually greatly enjoyed this book. I think I’ve read it at a time when God is calling me back to understand all that he has created me to be. To hear that I am woman and beloved and romanced has got to be good just now. This IS an American book and you should bear that in mind when you pick it up. There are no examples of women in church leadership over men, which makes a point in and of itself. But at the heart of it is some stuff that I think we maybe all need to receive, that God has created us to be pursued, to have a unique place in an adventure, and to be romanced (or maybe that’s the same as pursued). I’ve already recommended this to two people. Must be a good one.

I got sent this from Canada last week, with a little note saying 'for your heart'. Its an historical novel about Boudica, Queen of the Iceni; to whom I have been much compared. Its a good read, about the very classic story of the Ancient Britons. What I liked: well the story- the notion that the Ancient Britons were much more egalitarian than their Roman counterparts. The no holds barred approach to viewing Boudica- acknowledging her tactical errors. What I didn't like: its not hugely well written!
