I’m always up for an excuse to read, so I simply had to join the Fall Reading Challenge. We’ll see how much I get done now that I have less than a month before my baby should be here….
Non-fiction
This book was introduced to me by Sarah Clarkson when she spoke in Colorado Springs a few weeks ago. It was written by an Eastern Orthodox theologian who wants to help parents make the right choices when it comes to which books and stories they should read to their children. I ordered it on ILL and it just arrived. I am anxious to read it!
This book was recommended to me by a few GCMers. It looks interesting. We shall see.
I found this book through the Making Home blog. Her entry was convincing enough for me to pick up the book.
Fiction
It is seriously embarrassing that I have not yet read this book. Its a super fast read though, and I am almost through it in a few sittings. So far I’m loving it 🙂
Family Reads
We started this last night. Somehow I escaped childhood without reading anything by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Sad but true… This is our current bedtime story. We quickly finished St. George and the Dragon and before that we read Pinocchio. I think this book will be a nice follow-up.
We’ve loved every d’Aulaire book that we’ve touched so far, so I’m sure that will be the case again!
Please feel free to join up and read along with me! I’ll do my best to post my progress and thoughts as I read.
I am doing Fall into Reading, too. I hope that you enjoy it….I did last year. 🙂
Anyway…what is the book “Sex God” about???
Well, I haven’t read it yet, but the subtitle on Sex God says “Exploring the Endless Connections Between Sexuality And Spirituality”.
Here is the Google book link for it.
It says “A refreshing examination of the link between God and sex reveals that the two subjects cannot be separated and discusses how in order to make sense of one subject, the other subject must be explored.”
Sounds good, right?
Great List 🙂
Looks like a very good list! Tending the Heart of Virtue sounds interesting — I’ll have to check that one out. Thanks for being part of Fall into Reading!
Good list! I have some Austen on my list too.
Tending the Heart of Virtue introduced me to some really good reads and I don’t even have kids! Enjoy the challenge!
We read the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, and Leif the Lucky in our homeschool, too! I am trying to decide which Jane Austen book to begin with. I’ve not read one of hers before. I think I’m going to add a Poll on my site and have people vote. Well, have a nice fall, all curled up with your kids and your great books!
I finally read Pride and Prejudice for the first time this summer. Rob Bell is a very engaging guy.
Happy Fall reading.
Oh, excellent idea! I think I shall have to join, I adore reading and have a mile-long list of books to read. 😉
I loved Laura Ingalls growing up and can’t wait for dd to be older to share them with!!!!happy reading
We have also read all the d’Aulaire books that we can get our hands on. They are informative and fun to read. My son learns alot from them and so do I. Enjoy your reading.

I’ve always wanted to read Pride and Prejudice but forgot it off my list again. I’ll have to see if I can get to it.
Happy fall reading.
Your list looks like some fun reading!!
