Springtime Reads

Today I enjoyed 2 hours of free time while my daughter attended a birthday party. So, armed with a couple of Barns & Noble gift cards from Christmas and a book to be returned, I decided to venture through the aisles of B&N with no hindrances whatsoever with the exception of a 2 hour time limit. Very do-able.

The books I picked for springtime reading are:

Magdalene by Angela Hunt. Another biography of Mary Magdalene, but I had to buy it becuase I'm becoming an Angela Hunt fan. She has never let me down yet. The book is brand new this year and I can't wait to sink my teeth into this historical fiction.

Blink by Ted Dekker. I actually started reading this book last summer, but it was a library book and I was re-locating out of state and had to return the book. Alas- I have no idea how it ended. But I don't think anyone can own too many different Ted Dekker books so this one will join my library. It's about an extremely smart and "gifted" man who must rescue an Arabian princess. It's faced paced, as most Dekker books are, with an age old tale that is as current as today's headlines. Another one I'm anxious to finish!

Grace in Thine Eyes by Liz Curtis Higgs. I've been waiting almost 2 years for this book to come out! Taking place in Scotland in the spring of 1808 this historical fiction is actually a re-telling of Dinah's story in Genesis 34. I ccan’t wait to see what happens to Jamie & Leanna's daughter Davina.

I'll be posting reviews as I finish the books, but if you pick them up and read them before me, let me know what you think!
