What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I just finished Room on the Porch Swing, excellent book. Up next for me is The Hideaway by Lauren K. Denton, first time reading this author.

I finished the aforementioned prequel enovella and moved on to the first regularly published book in Kristi Ann Hunter's new Haven Manor series, entitled "A Defense of Honor." I'm enjoying it so far - the beginning is quite intriguing, and I'm pretty sure that one of the minor characters is borrowed from Hunter's previous series, so that's kind of fun.

I'm about to start reading "Lady of a Thousand Treasures" by Sandra Byrd. I didn't even know she had a new book coming out until I saw it in my local Christian bookstore the other day and I really like her historical fiction, so I bought it. It looks really good!

I recently finished "If I Perish" by Esther Ahn Kim. It's a biography published in 1977 about a Christiam living in Japanese-controlled Korea prior to WWII and her time in and out of prison throughout the war. It is a wonderful story of true faith in God in the midst of very trying circumstances, and I found it both inspirational and sobering. The faith and courage she demonstrates is amazing.

I'm currently reading Xenocide by Orson Scott Card. Great sequel to Ender's Game and Speaker For the Dead.

I'm almost done reading "The Heavenly Man" by Brother Yun. It's an amazing true story of his ministry and repeated imprisionment in China for the terrible crime of preaching God's love. It's full of faith, miracles, and God's faithfulness. I highly recommend it! I had the privilege of hearing Brother Yun speak when he was in Canada last year (through an interpreter) and his story is awe-inspiring, with all the glory going to God.

I just started "Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity" by Nabeel Qureshi. It's an autobiography of sorts about how the author, a devout Muslim, started asking questions, encountered Jesus, and became a Christian. I've heard that it's an interesting read and I'm looking forward to reading about the journey!

That's literally sitting on my bookshelf right now! I've heard really good things about it, too, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet because of school. I guess I should get around to it since I think it's due back at the library in a couple of weeks!

Oops, somehow I missed seeing your post until now! I hope you read it, or else take it out from the library again, because it's well worth the read!

I just finished "Merciless" by Tamara Leigh, a new inspiration medieval romance. I really enjoy her books!

I am reading 'Evidence Not Seen" by Darlene Deibler Rose. She was a missionary in some of the remote islands the Japanese conquered during WWII and her faith both prior to the war and especially during the war in a POW camp is very inspirational.
