Books for the TBR list:

  • Crowned by Julie Linker.
    YA fiction holds a soft spot in my heart–and according to this reviewer, Crowned is a pretty good depiction of the high school scene these days.
  • The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
    I like project memoirs–and I tend to like self-help (just a bit too much!) So this memoir on trying to apply the wisdom of the ages and more recent stuff on happiness sounds like fun.
  • The Help by Kathryn Stockett.
    I’ve read quite a few reviews of this one, all of them complimentary. This one pushed me over the edge. I’m adding The Help to my TBR list.
  • The Power of Half by Hannah Salwen
    I’ve seen this one reviewed before too–and couldn’t decide whether I wanted to read it or not. I’m still more curious than actually determined that I’ll enjoy this book. The idea of a family downsizing from a 6000 square foot house to a 3000 square foot house to give the rest to charity is great–but how were they so selfish as to amass all that in the first place? I fear the book will be a little too self-congratulatory for my tastes. But who knows?
  • Recalling the Hope of Glory by Allen P. Ross
    This book sounds amazing–an exposition of all the passages on worship throughout the Bible. I’d love to read this one, but I’m sure the library doesn’t have it. (Ah, well, what is ILL for but this?)
  • Saving Cee-Cee Honeycut by Beth Hoffman
    Another one that I’m surprised isn’t on my TBR list already. Southern ladies, somewhat eccentric. Surely I’m going to love it.
  • The Wife’s Tale by Lori Lansens.
    Perhaps it’s just morbid curiosity, but the thought of a sympathetic book about a morbidly obese woman (who doesn’t experience magical fat melting once she “finds herself”) intrigues me.
  • Why we love the church by Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck
    I love the church. God designed the church to be something special–something that would collectively spread His fame throughout the world. I am saddened and distressed by the current vogue for leaving behind “organized religion”–and with it the church. This book addresses that issue. I’ve ILL’ed it and look forward to reading what DeYoung and Kluck have to say about the church.

News to take note of:

  • Science says it is not good for man to be alone. Hmm…seems to me someone else said that first.

Videos worth seeing:

  • A revolutionary music video: Too late to apologize

    Thanks Vitamin Z.
