Starting date for our next book

Posted in Till We Have Faces

We had a great time reading The Giver a couple weeks ago. I hope you are all ready to dive head-first into our next book: Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis.

Get ready to read: Monday, March 17th

This was the choice that got the most votes in the poll that we had in December. And, of course, as you've probably already figured out, C.S. Lewis is among my very favorite authors. His books always have a sense of childlike simplicity, and yet are amazingly profound. There is so much that we can learn from him.

This is one of the few books of his that I haven't read yet. I'm definitely looking forward to getting into it.

I hope you'll join us! Please leave a comment if you plan to participate. If you have any questions, feel free to send a private message.

Regards,
Sylvia

Just for fun~ Have you read any C.S. Lewis books before? The first book that we read as a group was The Magician's Nephew from the Chronicles of Narnia series. Which of his books have you read? Have you read any of his non-fiction? Which one do you think is your favorite?

I would really like to do it, I just have to hope I can get a copy of the book in time. Yikes!

I have read all of the Chronicles of Narnia, and am currently reading Mere Christianity. I love his books, at least the ones that I have read!

I've read all of the Narnia books, and Mere Christianity.
I want to read the Screwtape Letters and the Great Divorce soon, though.
:)
In Christ,

Hope it is okay to jump in now....I'm really looking forward to joing y'all!

I have read several of Lewis' books--of course, all of the Chronicles of Narnia, plus his science fiction trilogy and The Four Loves. I have read Till We Have Faces before, too...but I really want to re-read and have people to discuss it with!
Narnia is definitely my favorite! I keep meaning to read more of his non-fiction; I LOVED The Four Loves (no pun intended)!
