Dancer Daughter has a kindred spirit; another homeschooled girl is reading nine books at once. Here’s the list of DD’s nine in-process books; Autumn Rain doesn’t list her nine, but she has interesting thoughts on the reading life.

JavaMom posts her list of books-in-progress and books-just-read, and she asks, “What are you reading?” Share your reading-in-progress either here or there.

Cindy on How I Apply the Gospel to my Life Through Reading “Which is a better example to children, a little girl who is so good she won’t break the Sabbath even when her father insists upon it or a mouse who struggles with himself and his desire for greatness and finally finds peace by dying to himself and seeking the face of his king against fearful odds? Isn’t there always something distasteful about a goody-two-shoes? The Gospel is not for the pharisee but the sinner. I relate so much more to the depth of struggle my good friend Reepicheep faced than to Elsie’s simpering goodness.”

Amen. Preach it, sister.
