A new box of books!

Getting a package of books delivered to my door always puts a smile on my face :)

I found some bargain books for the boys from Amazon and received free shipping.

• Isle of Fire (Pirate Adventures, Book 2), Wayne Thomas Batson
• The Final Storm (Door Within Series, Book 3), Wayne Thomas Batson
• Hatchet, Gary Paulson
• My Side of the Mountain, Jean Craighead George

This should keep my younger boys busy for a little while. But, I've also ordered Hunter Brown and the Consuming Fire, by the Miller Brothers. When that book arrives, I'm sure it will jump to the head of the line. They love the Codebearers Series.

Reading is one of my favorite activites

I definitely read my share of news, current events, text books, reference books, historical novels, etc. on a daily basis for self edification and for homeschooling. However, when I have free time, I relish reading fiction. It is a complete escape and is almost always better than a movie. So, what am I reading? Well, I just finished Deep Blue, by Tom Morrisey. It is the first book that I have read by him, and it was pretty good. It was like a Clive Cussler book for the Christian market.

There is a book that I am eagerly anticipating... Green, by Ted Dekker. The release date is September 1, 2009 and I can't wait! The Circle Trilogy is one of my all-time favorites.
