Still reading The Book of God by Walter Wangerin, The Kontiki Expedition by Thor Heyerdahl and Ben Hur by Lew Wallace, the last one online because it's free to do so. Lew Wallace has a lovely dedication to his wife at the start of his novel: 'To the wife of my youth who abides with me still'.

Normally, I read a lot of American history and historical biographies, but just before Christmas, while looking through boxes in the attic, I came across some my late mother's books. Among the books were novels by Barbara Michaels, one of mother's favorites. I've read "Ammie Come Home" and have started another. They are a light, entertaining (Michaels clearly is a lover of antiques and history!), and a wonderful "escape" from life.

Mindgame by Anthony Horowitz. Love this writer. I wish he wrote more adult fiction. Foyle's War, my all-time favorite TV show, is also his creation.

Romans 8. Wonderful chapter.

The Book of Job.

It's a useful one for me to read when I get down and feeling sorry for myself. It helps me to keep things in perspective.
