First, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I had a wonderful time with my family, AND got a couple of books I'd like to share with you guys.
THE CHRISTMAS BOX
A Christmas story unlike any other, The Christmas Box is the poignant tale of a widow and the young family who moves in with her. Together, they discover the first gift of Christmas --- and what the holiday is really all about.
TIMEPIECE
Tracing the lives of a young couple as they discover love, loyalty, and the power of forgiveness, Timepiece is a tale of wisdom and of hope --- and a gentle reminder that the connections from one generation to the next are indelible.
THE LETTER
A mysterious letter is found at the grave of a couple's only child in this unforgettable conclusion to the collection. As they face love's greatest challenge, they find its truest meaning and learn the lessons that are echoed throughout.
What happens when a nineteen-year-old boy leaves home and heads into the jungles to evangelize a murderous tribe of South American Indians? For Bruce Olson, it meant capture, disease, terror, loneliness, and torture. But what he discovered by trial and error has revolutionized then world of missions.
This next one wasn't a Christmas gift. I actually won it in a giveaway from the wonderful people over at Go Teen Writers. Can't wait to get started on it! Might be the incentive I need to actually write a novel.
Also, because I thought it was funny, here's something else I got for Christmas.
Pepper Spray. Apparently it's a must have for any girl heading off to college.

DeleteAh, I went on a Richard Paul Evans reading spree after watching the tv movie adaptations of that trilogy several years ago ...
ReplyDeletePepper spray is a must, unless your college campus bans it. =P
I didn't know there were movies. I'll have to check that out!
DeleteAnd, yes. Now that I'm done laughing about it, I'm thinking it may be quite useful. I mean, you never know...
The Olson book sounds like an exciting read!
ReplyDeleteIt does! I actually picked that one out myself. But I did act surprised when I opened it. I think no one noticed...
DeleteHope you don't have to use the pepper spray
ReplyDeleteENJOY all your books, and I hope your reading week has been good.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR!!
