Give Them Grace: Dazzling Your Kids with the Love of Jesus
by Elyse Fitzpatrick (I know this book has rave reviews, but I found the woman's style of "giving grace" extremely annoying. I was almost half-way through the book and after discussing some of her thoughts with my husband, I decided to just forgo the book.)The Power of a Positive Mom
by Karol Ladd (I found that this book was just ho-hum and I was kind of bored with it. I decided to quit reading it since other books are calling my name.)See what others are reading over at 5 Minutes for Books.
I've been wanting to get to Give Them Grace, even though my parenting days are almost over, just to see what the fuss is about. From what I've heard I'm a little wary of it.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of Wodehouse here! I've read one of his Jeeves books a while back and am reading a Psmith one for Carrie's book club.
I'm going to have to go check out some of your reviews.
Wow! I'm always impressed by your volume of reading!
ReplyDeleteI go through phases of reading parenting books. Honestly, sometimes I find them more discouraging than encouraging.
I'm reading a Jeeves book now!
Your stack for next month, especially The Logic of English, has me quite intrigued. I'll be back! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy husband recently read and loved Sherlock Holmes and The Three Musketeers - both are on my list to read as he really enjoyed them. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI am also impressed by your volume of reading! I've wanted to read "Give Them Grace" too. I've heard mixed reviews, but I think that's true with every parenting book.
ReplyDeleteOooh...another Wodehouse fan! I feel we're going to be friends ;) I also like Josephine Tey.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating!
