It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

3/13/2017

This weekly chance to add to your reading list is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date.

Well, this week has been most interesting. We had crazy winds on Wednesday that took down our power (and half of the town, including the public schools). It didn't come back on until Saturday late afternoon. Thankfully, we were able to borrow my in-laws' generator, or we would have been completely frozen because winter has definitely returned. Life is back to normal now, or at least until the snow rolls in during the next couple of days!

What I Read Last Week

The Choir Immortal by Katie Schuermann (This book is about a Lutheran church in a Midwestern small town. In other words, it's pretty much about my life. And it was so good!)
Waterfall by Lisa Tawn Bergren (I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if I had read it in high school. It's rather teenagery. But even now, I'm looking forward to reading book 2 to see what happens next.)

What I'm Reading Now

Jesus on Trial: A Lawyer Affirms the Truth of the Gospel by David Limbaugh (This seemed like a good read as we're heading towards Easter.)
Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan (I'm enjoying this one a lot more than I thought I would!)

What's Coming Up Next

Moloka'i by Alan Brennert (The lone library book I'm planning to read this month. But it's our book club book, so what else can I do?)

So glad you have your power back - that can be even scarier with a little one! We had pretty bad wind last week also and are anticipating another big snowstorm too, but we lucked out and didn't lose power (yet!)

We were so grateful to my in-laws for letting us use their generator. Otherwise we would have had to pack up and move in with them - and four days away from home and routine would have been rough! Hopefully your big snowstorm didn't end up too bad!

I am glad to hear you have power again! What a nightmare ~ glad that you had access to a generator!

I loved Moloka'i. I actually have loved all of Brennert's books! I hope you do as well. :)

It would have been so much harder without a generator! I hear it was even worse down around Detroit. Did you lose power, Erin?

I'm looking forward to reading Moloka'i. It's one of those books I would probably never have picked up if it weren't for book club. It looks good!

Power outages in the winter are the worst. Glad you were able to borrow a generator! Have a great week!

We didn't run the generator at night (so my husband wouldn't have to run out at 3 in the morning and fill it up with gas) - and the house would drop down to 50 degrees. I can't imagine what we would have done if we didn't have a generator at all!

Hope you're having a great week as well, Kailana!
