Finished:
~My Cousin Rachel
by Daphne du Maurier. A suspenseful delight. Not as chilling as du Maurier's best known work, Rebecca
, but worth a look.~What is Reformed Theology?: Understanding the Basics
by R. C. Sproul. A book I felt I needed to read. I was right.Currently Reading:
~(Audio) Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy
by Eric Metaxas. I must confess, I checked this out of the library on two separate occasions. I just couldn't get through it, despite my interest in this intriguing story. A friend had it on audio, so I borrowed it. This is my first foray into books on CD, and I like it.~(Kindle) A Place for Weakness: Preparing Yourself for Suffering
by Michael Horton. In preparation for this book discussion.~Loving the Church
by John Crotts. Not quite what I expected, but something I really need right now.Up Next:
~(Kindle) Lady Susan
by Jane Austen. It's been entirely too long since I've read something by Jane!~Nine Marks of a Healthy Church
by Mark Dever.What are you reading? Link up your list at 5 Minutes for Books.

Melissa, so happy to hear you will be joining Elizabeth in the book discussion she'll be hosting. I am looking forward to it. It seems like we'll have a wonderful time! :)
All your books look intriguing to me!
I may just look into the book discussion group and read along. I always benefit from those (and it's nice to see Becky will be doing it too!--she always inspires me with her comments).
Next book, Karen Kingsbury's "Leaving" and a myraid of other books. I normally read many at the same time.
I think I need to read the What is Reformed Theology book, too - thank you for mentioning it!
And I want to read the Daphne Du Maurier book.I don't think I knew she had written anything other than Rebecca.
I haven't even heard of Lady Susan!! But I do hope to read some more Austen soon -- Sense and Sensibility or Emma, I think.
I thought I had read all of Austen's books, but I'd not heard of that one. I'll have to look it up.
I have loving the Church on my literal nightstand -- a friend offered it to me after I commented on it on her blog. I'm not sure when I'll get to it, but I want to.
I hope you enjoy listening to Bonhoeffer. It's on my reading list this month.
I've read most of Austen's books, but I don't think I've read Lady Susan.
Happy May reading!
Thanks for pointing out the discussion for A Place for Weakness.
I'm collecting thoughts on Metaxas's Bonhoeffer book. Haven't read it yet, but I've been enjoying reading everyone's thoughts so far--and I can't wait to see yours :-)
I've not read du Marier, sounds intriguing! I have been reading all fiction lately and am determined to start on my nonfiction pile this month!
(Catching up on my Google reader - can you tell?)
I'm glad that you've found a way to enjoy the Bonhoeffer book.
And I really, really liked My Cousin Rachel. It's a nice piece of suspense and fiction.
