November Book List

The Last Summer (of You and Me) by Ann Brashares
A novel for adults by the author of the Traveling Pants. It's about two sisters and a guy who spent all their childhood summers together on Fire Island. After a few years apart, they have another summer together as adults. They cling to memories of their past together and try to deal with the big, unexpected changes in their lives. It's a moving story with very believable characters.

David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
My classic of the month. I started reading it as an e-book and got it from the library when I didn't have time for the e-book anymore. :) It's long and sad, but excellent, and probably realistic for the time period. I loved the ending.

A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, and The Small Rain* by Madeleine L'Engle
Believe it or not, I had never read the Time books before. They're just as great as everyone says. The Small Rain was Madeleine L'Engle's first novel - it's about a young pianist named Katherine. I'd read it before, a long time ago, but still had a hard time putting it down.

Believing God by Beth Moore
My admiration for Beth Moore increases all the time. This is definitely my favorite of her books. It's an expansion on five faith statements: 1. God is who He says He is. 2. God can do what He says He can do. 3. I am who God says I am. 4. I can do all things through Christ. 5. God's Word is living and active in me. That list was from memory, so you know it made an impression. :) I HIGHLY recommend it.

Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
As one of the reviews on the back says, you'll want to clear your schedule before reading this. I read it over the last couple of days. In this novel, an asteroid hits the moon, causing it to move closer to the earth. Tsunamis, volcanoes, and global catastrophe ensue. This is the story of how a 16-year-old girl and her family get through the crisis. It's scary and bleak and inspiring. At a few points I wanted to put the book in the freezer like Joey did with The Shining. :) But don't let that turn you away, because there's hope. A fantastic read.
