Hello there! Well, can you believe it? We have one short story left in this little treasure! The Forget-Me-Not is the last story in The Inheritance. Though it was a surprise that the book was broken into several different stories, it has been a wonderful read.
Now we need to choose another book. We already have a couple in mind, but I want to get a list going of Lamplighter books you would like to read. To see the selection, please go to The Old Schoolhouse Store. You can look at their selection of Lamplighter books or through their selection of other books, and leave a comment of future choice reads. Also, if you have criteria that is important to you, like a shorter book of less than 100 pages versus a longer book of 200+ pages, let us know. This will also affect the cost of the book, and if that is something you consider, let us know that too. We are assuming the content of the book has been acceptable!
We are not going to post our discussion for The Forget-Me-Not this week, but, rather, next week.Blessings~
We will be announcing the next read by this Wednesday, and this will give you time to read over the past discussions if you didn’t get to tell us what you thought about The Inheritance or Clara. It is fine to go back and re-comment on everyone’s discussions. In fact, I would encourage it!

Jill's Red Bag - Lamplighter
This delightful story may be Amy LeFeuvre’s best work of all! Jill’s Red Bag has a gentle way of elbow-jabbing even the most mature reader! Jill heartily demonstrates the importance of sacrificial giving and the great reward it brings. Her focused determination and enthusiasm are contagious! Jack reveals how selfishness is truly blind to the needs of others. Most of all, Bumps provides enough laughter to heal the bones of anyone whose spirit has been dried or broken. It has been a while since I have laughed so heartily!

That Printer of Udell's - Lamplighter
Has someone crossed your path recently that might have needed your help? Were you paying attention closely enough to have noticed? This wonderful book from Harold Bell Wright is just as alive and relevant in this century as it was to those to whom he was writing over 100 years ago. That tramp printer that ends up working for George Udell has so much to teach us about living by an honor code. According to President Ronald Reagan, “That Printer of Udell’s, had an impact I shall always remember… The term “role model” was not a familiar term in that time and place. But I realize I found a role model in that traveling printer whom Harold Bell Wright had brought to life. He set me on a course I’ve tried to follow even unto this day. I shall always be grateful.”
