While checking e-mail last week I got an e-mail from paperback swap that my wish was granted and someone posted Tosca Lees book Demon . We have read it before . Bought several to give away , had a book club featuring it etc ... It is THAT good ! But we had given our last copy away not long ago. And then my hubby quips that he'd like to re-read it. Coincidence ? Yeah, no !
It came in the mail yesterday and I texted my hubby a picture. He texted back " great! You read it now and I will take it after I get home . " Um... ok . I was thinking I would rad it after my time-travel drivel I currently have on my kindle . But as the baby was playing this morning , the book was beside me and the Kindle was upstairs so I picked it up . I am both sucked right back in , and trying to not rush through it. Not even out of the first chapter and I find
"Walking up the half flight of steps tonight , I recalled the collection of Eyewitness Guides she had kept on our bookshelf --a constant reminder of unfulfilled hopes and my own shortfalls as a provider. A detail I had forgot until now. But it came upon me reflexively and fully formed , the way the smell of a hospital room could conjure my dying father."
I put the book down there . Because I want to walk thru my house and remove anything remotely similar ...and sadly I am sure I will find more that one thing! I want to ask my hubby to do the same. But I also just want to let God speak to him freely with out my inferences. Hmmm....pondering.
I hardly ever reread a book . (Except scripture) How about you ? Any you reread often ? I have a couple . Behind the Glittering Mask by Mark Rutland, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers , Covenant Child by Terri Blackstock (haven't reread it but as soon as I turn u a copy I will. )
Perfect Perscection , can't remember who whote it but it is a MUST READ !
My house is full of books , with my Kindle I could let a lot of them go . Hubby has a whole shelf full I am forbidden to get rid of . LOL He knows me well. The mood strikes and I can indiscriminately get rid of a whole rooms contents.
Have a good day all . I am going to eat some pizza and start prowling the house . Until the baby wakes up anyway. lol
