Not many pages turned.

I haven't turned that many pages this month, it seems, for TTPT (Turn the Page Tuesday). Sorry. Let me explain.
I have several books still on the go this month.
First, Live like you mean it, by Eric Delve.

We are reading it as a housegroup and are all finding it hard going. Bits we love: like encouraging us to face our giants in our own lives, the things that hinder us. Also, we love the stories surrounding david from the Bible. The boy who was the most unlikely, perhaps to be chosen. Fearless, trusting in God, he went for it. However, we are struggling to be inspired with the rest of it. I think we have all been expecting to be challenged more. Maybe we just need to challenge ourselves, to live like we mean it?
I am still reading this book: Gilead by Marilynne Robinson.

It is moving along slowly, perhaps too slowly.
Meanwhile, I have my head in these cake books.

Less than 2 weeks until my nieces wedding and I am baking and icing THE wedding cakes!
Please check out some great reads, from those who have actually read a book or two this month, other than a cake book, at TTPT.
Have fun and share what you have read too!

  4. Oh those cake books look fab! Good luck on the wedding cake adventure! :) I know what you mean about slow books - I really had to push to get through The Happiness Project.
