J. Kaye's Book Blog hosts this lovely little meme on Monday. Come dish with us!FINISHED LAST WEEK (I didn't have to work between Dec 24 & Jan 3 so reading this many books in a week is "unusual" for me)
Cottonwood Whispers - Jennifer Erin Valent
Dear John - Nicholas Sparks
Same Kind of Different As Me - Ron Hall & Denver Moore (January Bloom Book Club Selection)
Secrets of the Secret Place (this was a devotional I'd been working my way through most of the year and FINALLY finished it.
READING THIS WEEK
If I Perish - Esther Ahn Kim
This is an autobiography called out in Francis Chan's book Forgotten God. Esther Ahn Kim (her married name) was a Korean Christian who spent six years in Japanese prisons during WWII as a result of her faith. As she prepared to be martyred, Miss Ahn's courageous activities in prison brought the light of the Gospel to many, and resulted in a reduction of the brutal torture of the Christians.
UP NEXT
The Sound & the Fury - William Faulkner (its on my List of Books to Read Before I Die) so I want to tackle one on the list each month. Besides...I started in December and then abandoned it. Time to pick it back up.

The Sound & the Fury completely turned me on to William Faulkner... but if you take recommendations? It's a lot easier to get through with a plot summary nearby!
Cottonwood Whispers looks interesting!
Wow! You had a great reading week!!
