I have a few days off at the end of July. I know its sad, but my only plans are to read, reorganize my books, go to a library book sale, and read some more. Oh, I'll walk the dogs in between all that. What fun!

Michelle, I see you are reading The Shack by William P. Young by William P. Young. I believe he is a Canadian author. I've been meaning to read that book for the longest time. How did you like it?

I enjoyed The Shack quite a bit. I gave it four stars, and plan a buying a few copies as gifts for family members. It was nice break from the pnr for me.

Michelle Gilmore | 3220 comments I just have 2 books to go to finish this month's challenge. But as it seems my employer is trying to kill me, I don't know that I'll be able to finish this month. :o(

4.Urban Shaman by C.E. Murphy****
5.The Shack by WM. Paul Young****

Ok, I slept off and on last night, woke up around 4am and finished Nightwalker, which I loved. I'm happy to have to next 2 in the series on hand. Now, if my work schedule goes as planned, and I don't suffer the effects of not sleeping well last night, I just might be able to finish this month. I know 5 books isn't a lot, but its been a struggle this month.

Thanks Gigi!

LOL! Outlander, and the other books in the series are great judging by what I've read so far. But they're so big and "wordy" that it helps to read with a friend.
