{ Reading }

My sister Tammy suggested a couple books on our family blog about a month or so ago and I finally got them through Amazon. I didn’t realize when you do the super saver shipping that means they’ll hold the books in their warehouse for 2 weeks before shipping just so you decide next time around that it’s worth the $10 to get your order within a month. I went with Amazon because I wanted the CD version of one of the books (the other isn’t available in audio yet) because I have a half hour drive to work (hour round trip) and I figure I might as well use that time wisely. It’s the best way for me to give undivided attention to a book. So these are the books I picked up:

Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell and Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. Anyone wanna read with me? I know Lisa and I talked about reading Messy Spirituality together and I think at the moment I have that loaned out to someone ‘cuz I haven’t been able to find it the past couple weeks. Listening to the Velvet Elvis CD will be easy for me. Actually already listened to the first hour twice yesterday while sewing. Sitting down and taking the time to actually read Blue Like Jazz may take some accountability of some sort of reading group. I’m SO not a reader. I’ve read part of the first chapter though and was already sucked in by the style of writing. So, Lisa? Anyone? You can actually buy both books together at a great discount through Amazon. Although I’d highly suggest just paying the regular shipping fees rather than doing the super saver. Although … to get the free shipping I added my favorite kids book and already got use out of that reading it to my niece and nephew Saturday night before bed. :) It’s my FAVORITE kids book and I didn’t even own a copy until now.

Kay, that’s it for now. Back later with some new music discoveries. Gotta finish getting ready and head into work for the afternoon.
