Books in the Fall

I've read a few books this fall so far and am hoping to have more time for leisure reading as the months progress.  I am currently taking a Professional Development Course for work, and although it's quite interesting, it's also quite a bit more work than I was expecting.  However, it's not unattainable and I still feel as though I'll have sufficient time for leisure reading. 

I ordered a few books to have on hand that are easy reads with no sad parts.  One of these books is a re-read-- Frontier Follies.  Previously I checked it out from the library, but enjoyed it so much that I knew I'd read it over and over again over time.  It's also a good light hearted book to lend out if one needs a good read that is self-contained in each chapter without lots of characters of which to keep track.   

The other book I purchased recently is Cosy- The British Art of Comfort.  It's a fun light read that keeps each chapter focused on something that the British do to attain coziness-- wearing fluffy socks, making tea, using lamps, etc.  It's another book that doesn't require strain to keep up with characters and plot twists.  

The next book is one from our local library and it's certainly one that I'll consider purchasing.  It's an easy read because the author writes in a manner similar to how I imagine she'd talk if she were sitting down to a conversation with a friend.  It's her amazing story of her husband's courageous acts on 09/11 when he was one of the passengers aboard United Flight 93 who helped take down the hijackers to keep them from crashing the plane into any additional U.S. landmarks or buildings on that day.  My grandmother has been to the memorial in Shanksville, PA and I am absolutely set on going one day myself.  The book, Let's Roll, is a memoir and so captivating and inspiring.  Truly a good read and I found myself tearing up quite frequently in awe of his bravery and also in remembering that day and all the details that accompany those memories. 

I'm currently reading this book, Let's Talk, which I received in the mail for free.  It centers around the power of prayer and each chapter is broken down by benefit of prayer and includes lots of scripture and personal accounts from the author on how those benefits have proved real. 

These have kept me busy, but have also kept my heart full.  It's nice to read about things that don't drag me down or involve lots of suspense or drama.  (Honorable mentions of other things I'm reading include The Magic Treehouse and Angelina Ballerina.) 

What have you been reading lately? 

Until Next Time,
