Favorite Reads of 2008.....

...only 1 of which I've reviewed here; I'm afraid I've been remiss.

Silent in the Sanctuary, by Deanna Raybourn---I just discovered Raybourn this year, and really like her writing style. I'll read more from her in the future, and I hear the next book in the 'Silent' series comes out in May!

Story, and Sailing Between the Stars, both by Steven James. Non-fiction thoughts on Christian faith as told by this master storyteller. This is how I would like to be able to write.

The Dream Giver, by Bruce Wilkinsen. This is really not much longer than a gift book, but it tells a beautiful parable of Ordinary, and his quest to follow his dream. A wonderful weekend read, recommended to me by my pastor, that gave me the kick in the pants that I needed.

The Thirteenth Tale, by Diane Setterfield. Equally mysterious, shocking, marvelous, and more than a tad disturbing. I couldn't put it down. I really should do a full review of it here sometime.


As for the worst of 2008....let's not dwell on that; we'll stick to the positive and leave it at that.
