Not A Mallard

I'm not much of a reader, so for the past few months I've been slowly making my way through The Fellowship of the Ring.  I have yet to start Book II, Chapter IV, "A Journey in the Dark."

Open Season - CJ Box - 278 pages

 

Decent mystery, a little transparent though. Hopefully the series gets better.

Good for you!   And I saw you enjoyed the AnneLine Movie... so you may want to consider the Diary of a Hunted Priest.... Fr. Gerard, the author, was her spiritual director and talks about her in several places!!!!

 

I'll do an update on numbers over the weekend... so get the numbers & books in progress posted!

Hello, everyone.  Well... not as much reading this summer, but other things have been going on in our world, I am sure.

 

I've added an 'honorable mention' category as several people have pulled out away from the 'herd' and have a good chance of getting into the top 3 spots... if they keep on going!

 

Several of you included enough info about your book that I was able to locate the page count on Amazon.

 

For those who pray the Liturgy of the Hours (LOTH) - last year we offered a 550 page "LOTH CREDIT" for those who pray Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer and Office of Readings.  If you want to claim it, just ask for it; you can also 'pro-rate it' - 2/3 if you only pray MP & EP, for example)

 

I don't know if anyone is in school this summer, but we did have a school reading credit last year as well -- let me know if you want to claim that.

 

I know I am close to completing some books... and I bet some of the rest of us are as well.... so... keep on going!

I will be at camp next week so I will give you guys some time to catch up. But since it is a Christian camp I might just start reading the Bible while I am there... :evil:

AL I do like historical fiction, mainly anything with history so I might have to try out those authors.
