Current Reads

My recent reading list has exploded and is a bit longer than I'd like, but I'm loving having my mind stimulated by the thoughts and stories of others. These are the books I'm working on currently...
I have joined a young moms' group from our church and we have just started this book. I am so pumped about it! After reading only a couple chapters, my heart has already been stirred and refreshed. I'm really looking forward to group discussions.
This is a book that has definitely created a lot of "buzz" recently. T's parents sent it to us for my birthday. They read it recently, and we look forward to discussing it with them when they come for a visit in just over a week. I'm enjoying the story, but don't really love the way it's written.
I checked this one out from the local library. Our little Hannah isn't a great napper, and it's catching up with her...more and more tired as the days go on. The author is a sleep specialist and bases the book on much of his research and work with parents. I am very encouraged by what I've read so far. I had no idea sleep was so complex, however!
We live in such a great neighborhood with a great sense of community. The ladies on our street have recently started a book/luncheon club. We randomly picked this book off the NY Times Bestseller List. I'm not far into it, but am excited about it. It's the story of a man who got stranded in Pakistan, was taken in by a community of nationals, and later vowed to promote peace in that region by building schools. I anticipate it stirring lots of thought and discussion about our nation's policies on international affairs, war, peace, etc.
