It was wonderful!<\/p>\n<p>The first one was &#8220;The Book Thief&#8221; by Markus Zuzak. Its a book I should have read a long time ago, and it was fabulous. My husband read it some time ago, and I don&#8217;t know why he didn&#8217;t give it to me to read then as well. Quite mystifying&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The second one was &#8220;Redeeming Love&#8221; by Francine Rivers. It is a novelised version of the biblical story of Hosea, which we studied last term in my biblestudy group (Hosea, that is, not the novel!). The book was loaned to me by one of the ladies in my biblestudy group &#8211; I think the rest of them had already all read it.  I didn&#8217;t expect to like it &#8211; no, being more honest with myself, I didn&#8217;t want to like it. But I did. You see, there is something about the idea of Christian fiction (especially love stories) that just makes me want to throw up. Sorry to be so blunt, but there it is!<\/p>\n<p>And the third book was &#8220;The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society&#8221; by Mary Ann Shaw and Annie Barrows. I loved it! Such a delightful story about interesting people living everyday lives. I didn&#8217;t want it to end.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone else read any good books lately? I&#8217;d love to hear about them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the weekend I read three books.
