What are You Reading?


It is not a self-help book, it is a life transforming book. It will show you the way to living the abundant life that Jesus promised.

Everyone likes to read, so why not share the books you love the most with others??!?! I had a lot of fun compiling my lists for the best of 2012 and the books I was most anticipating for 2013, that I thought I’d get a BlogHop going to encourage others to join in for the upcoming year.

Here is a description:
Jake West, a skinny teenager whose favorite subjects are choir and art, is struggling to find his place in the world. Always in the shadow of his athletic older brother and befriended by girls who enjoy his company but don’t see him as dating material, Jake begins making comparisons and questioning who he is. As if surviving junior high isn’t hard enough, Jake's family is suddenly transferred from sunny California to the cold, windy shores of Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
"So, California, huh?"
I nodded. My mouth was full of food and I didn’t know what else I could say to that.
"I'm Eric Brems."
I swallowed my food. "Hi Eric. I'm Jake West."
"Yeah, I know...and so does everybody else in this school."
I looked around. There were a few eyes pointing our way.
"Everybody?"
"Yeah, they all know about the kid who moved here from California."
"Really?" I asked not fully comprehending what he was telling me.
"Yeah, haven't you noticed everyone watching you as you walk down the hall?"
In a new high school where nobody knows him, will Jake stay true to himself or will he abandon his talents and values in order to fit in?


I loved that series! It made me want to move there and open my own Christian bookstore, with comfy sofas and chairs and coffee/tea and muffins! As you can see, I was totally drawn into these books!





I've finished this book...GREAT!! I'll be posting my reviews today

I've never heard of this author and looked him up. I haven't got into the Christian fantasy genre, but the description sounds intriguing. I noticed in the description of the book that is says (none other than the delightful Smith Delaney from the Trophy Chase Trilogy). Do you have to read the Trophy Chase Trilogy first in order to follow the main character in this series, Smith Delaney? Just wondering.

Plan to start these two

When the smoke clears is a great book!

I just ordered that from Paperbackswap.com!

I read them a long itme ago too, and I am having trouble reconciling what I remember with the movies. Is it just that I have forgotton so much, or are the movies not keeping very faithfully to the books?

Movies do not do the books justice!
