Ok I've never given a book review before. But figured it would give me more to blog about.

So here I am to share about a book I read. It's been a couple months since I read it but its still in my mind often.

Adam by Ted Dekker

I had been looking for something to read and asked some friends on a message board I'm on. I was seeking a Thriller. This was the first book mentioned to me. And off I went to get it at the library. I had a slow start to it, that happens with me sometimes while reading. Course I dislike that as well. I'd rather get pulled in right away so I can't put it down. Now a lot of books would do this sometimes its *me* not the book.

Anyway this is a blurb from the book about it.

FBI behavioral psychologist Daniel Clark has been made famous by his arguments that religion is one of society's greatest antagonists. What Daniel doesn't know is that his obsessive pursuit of a serial killer known only as "Eve" will end in his own death at Eve's hand. Twenty minutes later Daniel is resuscitated, only to be haunted by those twenty missing minutes of life.

It soon becomes painfully clear that the only way to stop Eve is to recover those missing minutes by dying . . . again. What isn't nearly as clear is just how many times he will have to die to discover the truth, not only about Eve, but about himself. Daniel will have to face haunting realities about demon possession in the modern world-and reevaluate his prejudice against religion-to stop Eve.

First off reading that blurb got me right away. Seemed totally like a book I'd love. I enjoy thrillers/suspense/mysteries type stuff.

Now as I stated it was a slow start for me to the book. Reading b4 falling asleep like I do with anything. Ended up getting tired more then getting things read.

So I finally grabbed the book, sat on the sofa and finished it in either one afternoon or two. I don't remember. All I know is the closer to the end I got the harder it was to put it down. I was edge of seat kind of reading. I didn't want to get up for anything. When I finally got the book finished. I just sat there, mind racing. It was like my brain would not shut down. Fiction it is, but at the same time you wonder, "what if?" could things like that exsist and happen? Things like that. I have to say its the first book in a long time that really had me edge of my seat, excited to read and find out what would happen and at the same time made me really think about things.

I got pulled into the characters, feeling as if I knew them. And near the end I was surprised by a revalation.

All in all so far this is my favorite Ted Dekker book. I've read 2 others since and will put up a review on them sometime.

Thanks for stopping by to read, its not much of a review because I'm still working on the right way to give them. But overall I loved this book, my fave thus far this summer/fall. 

Don't forget to stop by my other blog enty for mygiveaway

I was on a kick of reading, then it slowed down. I go through streaks like that sometimes. I love reading but there are times when I just don't find anything good. Or at least not at that time.

Books i've read lately have been House, Adam, & still reading Skin all of these are by Ted Dekker, I was on a reading kick of thriller books. And these have been great for that.

No idea what I'll read after Skin probably try to find another Dekker book I suppose. Or maybe nothing for a bit.

I've been reading more. I go in spurts for reading.

I think this time it was started by reading. Confessions of a Shopaholic. I have a couple others of the Authors to read as well...lol.

Then I went into the library and came across Lauraine Snellings books.

I grabbed a bunch thinking it was all the same series. And alas it wasn't I had wanted to read her series called  Red River of the North. But didn't have book one.

Instead I had book one of Dakotah Treasures ~ Called Ruby.

Great book BTW and am looking forward to reading more in that series as well.

So then I started Red River of the North and am currently on book 3 with book 4 waiting. I'm sure I'll be overdue as I've been reading slow lately.

I'm looking forward to reading all of Lauraine Snellings books.

If you have other books written in the time period as these (!800's) please share them with me as I'd love to read more written in that time period of living on the land and living the pioneer way of sorts.

I need HELP in searching for books, Please read and pass on suggestions.

Alrighty, I'm seeking suggestions for books for my 8 yr old son, he'll be 9 in Sept. He loves books. Whether they are books I read to him or he reads on his own.

I used to read the Magic Treehouse Books too him but he took over reading. BUT he's not reading at this time.

So I'd love to give books for him to read then talk about and for me to read books to him.

So any and ALL suggestions please pass them on, there are so many kinds of books out there and just curious to what others his age on HSB are reading.

Thanks for suggestions.

The movie advertised on tv that it would be avalible to buy, yesterday I think.Maybe it was last week...lol. I don't remember well.

Anyway, my son seemed interested and I told him it was a book, that I'd read as a child. Which by the way I didn't know it was *christian* based in anyway at that time. But its great to know now.

So my son mentioned that we should get it and I could read it too him. I thought it was a great idea, course I haven't boughten it yet.

My question for anyone that's read the series, is it better to read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe first or is it better to read them in the order C.S Lewis intended, which I believe I read somewhere it was to be read in this order

The Magician's Nephew---1955
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe---1950
The Horse and His Boy--1954
Prince Caspian--1951
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader--1952
The Silver Chair--1953
The Last Battle--1956
