Comingback Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Read Ring of Endless Light, 356 pages. I was turned on to Madeleine L'Engle when I was in grad school in North Carolina and she was an influence in my conversion to Catholicism at that time (even though she was Anglican). I knew her cousin, also named Madeleine, who was a nun at the Sisters of St. Mary, an Episcopal convent in Sewanee, Tennessee (where I am/was? an associate). They are Benedictine. Sister Madeleine went back to nursing school when she was in her 60s and said that all the young people loved her because she would ask all the stupid questions that they were afraid to ask. She was a really neat women and I have a potholder she made for me (don't use it as a potholder!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comingback Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Whoo, finally found what I knew was here (my house is a mess). I would like to do The Knitting Way: A guide to Spiritual Self-Discovery by Linda Skolnik and Janice MacDaniels as my St. Agnes book. I bought it from a bookstore that was sadly going out of business. It has 226 pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneLine Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 I shall win this contest, or I shall die trying... Ideally, compete against yourself, Carter.... DTA may be a little hard to catch in pages... but you might be able to get past the other two, or get a 1st in numbers of books. GO for it!

Deus te Amat Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I was thinking about playing fair and not reading any challenge/YA books, but when Carter states her challenge so nicely..... :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comingback Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Just finished Bridge to Terabithia on Scribd. Amazon says it has 208 pages. Was on the YA list. I have never read it before and I am very glad somebody listed it. Thanks! Ripped my heart out, but wonderful book. Anneline, love the sheep. I can't knit well and mostly do "production" kind of work. I make prayer shawls for people (most of them for a domestic violence shelter) and am kind of in "production" i.e. quick mode. I do crochet and really simple knit patterns. One of these days, I want to knit other stuff, but I seem to have some kind of direction to do these shawls and so I do. I know it sounds like I read all the time. I have a torn peroneus brevis tendon in my right foot and I want it to heal without surgery. So when I get home from work, I take off my boot thingy, prop up my foot, and read or knit or crochet or hang out on the computer. House suffers. If I don't vacuum, like tomorrow, I can make yarn from what the dog has shed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter has given me more books for my "to read" list than anybody else, though. I got some from her from the summer reading competition thread. I want to read "The Book Thief" next, which I now know about thanks to her. We love you, Carter. But we can read ever so fast, too. :saint2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, amazingly enough, part of my job at work now involves being a proctor for a class our new hires have to take online. I sit there and make sure they don't cheat. It's almost a day. So this week I just brought stuff in and read. It was heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a life, so I read when I'm not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Now you three play nice or I am going to send you to bed WITHOUT your books! ;) ComingBack, seems only fair to give you the page from which the Little Lamb came -- it includes directions for making him! http://www.chemknits.com/2011/02/little-lamb.html And now I am gonna get a nap in, and I don't wanna hear you three squabbling about who is First! You know what Jesus said about that!!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus te Amat Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Firebrand -- Gillian Philip -- 403 It is advertised as the next hunger games. It is not. Also, anti-Church in parts. I wouldn't recommend it. Edited January 11, 2014 by Deus_te_Amat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus te Amat Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 And in the spirit of things.... Betsy Tacy -- Maud Hart Lovelace -- 150 I will let you decide whether that qualifies for the YA rule though. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus te Amat Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Oh. My. Goodness. The Book Thief -- 578 (x 3?) That was one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
