I’ve been buried in books this summer. Quite literally. With Barnes and Noble so close, it’s hard not to. Coles has nothing on B&N. Us Maritimers are missing many good stores, and this is one of them. I thought I would list all the books that I’ve read so far this summer and books that are waiting in my reading queue.

Bridal Bargains:
This was a pretty good book, I learned a lot of things about saving money and about popular scams that go around. Of course, most of it is based in the US consumer markets, so I’m really at a loss on how to do the same money-saving techniques. Pretty much, I plan to not go overboard on anything. But it was a really handy resource and very informative. I encourage any bride that’s not trying to bankrupt her parents to read it.

The Case for Christ:
This one I really enjoyed. I had a few problems with it, seeing as though he only consults Christian scholars to talk about the evidence that Jesus Christ was who he said he was, but still very interesting nonetheless. It gives you food for thought at the very least, and gives you something solid to tell people who scoff at the Bible thinking it a mere storybook full of fiction. The New Testament is one of the most reliable ancient resources we have.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince:
Still about 100 pages from the end, this one has been quite the interesting read, as all Harry Potter fans have come to expect. I’m really looking forward to another spashy ending full of cliffhangers at each chapter. Me and Mike are reading this one together, he looks over my shoulder as I turn the pages, or he reads to me as I rest my eyes. I bet we’ll finish it within the next two days!

Coming up:
Can You Keep A Secret?:
Been wanting to read this one for a long while, since I am a huge fan of the Shopaholic series.

High Fidelity:
Mike and I have been passing this one back and forth but for the past month of so it’s just been collecting dust.

The Secret Life of Bees:
This one’s been hanging around for awhile too, so I should read it sometimes!

True Believer:
A big fan of Nicholas Sparks, I’m also dying to read this one, but I think Jamie has it so I will have to wait!

I have a few more that I want to buy in the next little while, but with all the school reading that I have on top of everything else, it doesn’t seem like I’ll get all the books read that I’d like. At least I won’t run out of new reading material for awhile!
