We Are The Morgans

As far as fiction goes, lately I've been enjoying books by Ted Dekkar. I just finished reading The Saint (from library), but I have a few other of his books you could borrow. For nonfiction, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World is pretty good. You could borrow it as well... assuming I win the bag. he,he (kidding, you can borrow them either way)

The Time Traveler's Wife (can't remember the author). It's definetly vacation reading (if you know what I mean...). So, if I don't win the bag, can I order one?

if you want to read something super light hearted that will get you away from reality, start with Confessions of a Shopaholic by sophie kinsella. There are 5 books in the series & I enjoy EVERY book she writes...she does drop the F-bomb on occasion, but i just skip over that part! I blame it on the fact that she's british....and that she probably just doesn't have a very big vocabulary...which wouldn't really make sense since she's a writer...oh, here i go rambling again....but anyway, there's my suggestion....i might have better ones later. I'll keep thinking.....

I love the Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. I read it on our honeymoon and she became one of my favourite authors.

If you want a book that will make you glad your vacation is over because there are so many great things at home to get back to, I recommend
the Shaping of Christian Family by Elizabeth Elliot.

I just read White Chocolate Moments by Lori Wick. I borrowed it from the church library. All og her books are quick reads great fr vacation. I also enjoyed Life of Pi by Martel and both Kite Runner and 1000 splendid Suns by Hosseini. A little heavier reads though.

oh man that's a cute bag. you go, erin!
do you really need me to give you *more* great reads? the shack is still the most recent for me, and i think you'd eat it up. awesome.

okay i haven't read these but they were recommended to me for my vacation reading..."the shack" (sad but an interesting perspective of the trinity)and "my sister's keeper" (daughter who was conceived to save her sister). An interesting book that is about to be a movie is "blindness" by jose saramago. have a great trip!!

the bible, erin. that or any book whose cover is pink/red with flowing hair and heaving bosoms. or the bible. go bag winning! wait can i even win if i'm related? consarn it, i say! love you

I agree with the Life of Pi rec. and the Time Traveller's Wife rec. - both are excellent! My personal choice is Peace Like a River by Lief Enger, and I'm a librarian, so I know it ALL! :)

Intense but a fast read: Peace Child by Don Richardson.
Good lighthearted encouraging fiction: Candle in the Darkness (Refiner's Fire Series) by Lynn Austin.
You might have read both of these though, I can't remember.
They always have Lynn Austin books at have Half Price Books.
Happy vacationing and happy reading!

i read the other boleyn girl in no time (sort of a trashy read). i agree with time travelers wife. i laugh out loud to anything by david sedaris. oh, and, snow flower and the secret fan is still a top pick for me.

cute bag!

A Mom After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George - practical ways to love your children. I'm actually just excited that I've READ a book to recommend. I read about one book a year!

The bag is adorable!!! My recommendation is Cane River by Lalita Tademy :)

What a cute bag and a fun contest! We're not entering, but we like what you made a lot.

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. You're so creative, Erin.

Sorry I missed the contest--that bag is so dang adorable!! You're so creative.
