I haven't mentioned in a LONG WHILE what I've been reading.  I was doing so well for awhile there, reading only one book at a time.  For the past month or so, I've been reading about six books at the same time -- going a short distance in each of them! 

Here is what I've been reading:

Two_Old_Women is a tale of two Althabaskan Indian women in Alaska who get left behind by their tribe in the frigid winter.  They have to decide to give up and die, or use the skills they haven't had to use for decades to help them survive. 

*I finished this book in three days.  It's a very quick, uplifting read.  A wonderful Native American tale to add to your library.  I am going to tell this tale to Emme in a more simple way for our studies. *

A-Charlote-Mason_Companion  is a must read for any mom who uses her methods.  It is inspiring and in easy-to-read language.  Very helpful.  I was blessed enough to receive it from Paperbackswap!

Purpose_Driven_Life I am about 1/2 way through this and it makes you think.  It makes you feel blessed.  It's also a must read in my opinion.  Also a great Christmas gift for someone who hasn't yet read this remarkable book.

Simple_Abundance I've owned this book for many years but have never read it each day.  I have been reading it lately and want to make it a habit.  I also am keeping track of all of the things I am greatful for in the matching journal.  These would also make a lovely gift.  Any of her books would.

I've been going back and forth studying between two Bibles.

NIV_Women_of_Faith Study Bible.  This has a study of women in the Bible and it is really quite lovely.   I use this one more when I am reading for enjoyment or at home. 

I cannot find the link for the other one I use.  It is a Student's Study Bible.  It is also an NIV.  It has thicker pages to take notes on, to highlight in and it's just more practicle and sturdy I guess.  I use this one when we are digging deep in Bible Study classes and when I am going back and forth between books and chapters of the Bible making connections.  We are currently studying the book of ACTS at our Sunday Morning Bible study -- and this is quite marked up in my study book!

I started reading The-Tightwad_Gazette last night.  Great frugal read!  Lots of great ideas.

There are even a few more that I am reading on and off -- but these are the main ones.   Two other Charlotte Mason books included, 2 children's books ...... I need to stop this!

Hopefully I will be back to one book at a time (plus the Bible) soon!
