What Are You Reading? - Last Half of July

**QuilterMom** · 07-16-2002, 11:09 PM

This is rare for me, but I have two books going at once! I'm reading Small Town Girl by Lavryle Spencer (didn't know if I would enjoy it due to the country music connection - I'm not a country music fan - but I am loving the book just like all of her other work I've read) and God's Most Precious Jewels Are Crystalized Tears by Barbara Johnson.

What are you reading?

I just finished the book Summerland and am in the middle of Mr. Maybe. Neither are books I'd recommend.

I"m currently readin Book three of Harry Potter. They are great books. I will have this done in about a week

Ima reading book three of the Ramses series by Christian Jacq. They are very good books especially if you like ancient Egypt.

I read mostly magazines in the summer.

Rosie, Woman`s Day, Family Circle, Living, Art magazines, National Geographics and the newspaper...Of coarse...not all at the same time! When I go to the library, I pick a couple at a time.

I am embarassed to say that I devour romance novels, about one every two days. Not very educational I know.

**mustang80** · 07-18-2002, 09:23 AM

Lucy, do you think the Ramses series would be appropriate for my 13 year old DD? She loves ancient Egypt. By appropriate I mean no sexual content or witchcraft/wizard type stuff.

I am reading "Staying Home Instead" by Christine Davidson. It gives some ideas for saving money so you can be home with the kiddies. It's okay, I skipped over the parts that didn't apply to me.

**lucy979** · 07-18-2002, 04:30 PM

Danielle, there is some of both. The sexual stuff is not graphic and very few and far between. There is a man who does black magic in the story. The sex is a very tiny thing in the books. The magic is pretty central to the story. I would say though that it is not as much as the Harry Potter books. I hopw this helps!

right now i am reading the partner by john grisham and Iris Johansen's new one Body of lie. I am having trouble getting into that one but it is part of the series so i have to read it. I have read all of the herry potter books. Still waiting for #5.

**justGina** · 07-19-2002, 02:10 PM

I just finished Little Altars Everywhere by Rebecca Wells. I'm trying to get into Lord of the Rings by Tolkien, but it is slow going.

**AmyBoz** · 07-19-2002, 07:41 PM

Lucy979...I love ancient Egypt. (History teacher here!) Is it non-fiction or fiction? (Although I'm an historian, I'd rather read a story than the history of Egypt.)

**mtjsmom** · 07-19-2002, 08:56 PM

i'm about half through with Devine secrets of the yaya sisterhood..pretty good so far

**lucy979** · 07-20-2002, 06:59 AM

Amyboz, they are fiction. I really recommend these books, especially if you love Egypt. What grade do you teach? I have always wanted to be a history teacher. How long did you have to go to school? Sorry for all the questions.
