trip on the brain.

I just have 'trip on the brain'

deep stuff, I know.

Here are the books I landed on:

Nonfiction:

Just Courage by Gary Haugen

because I heart IJM.

Fiction:

A God Strolling in the Cool of Evening by Mario De Carvalho & Gregory Rabassa

because it's about Portugal when it was under the influence of the Roman Empire and about the persecuted Christians living there - thanks Becky for the suggestion to find a historical fiction about the place we were going!

and

In Search of Eden by Linda Nichols

just in case I can't get into the other book, this one looked uplifting and easy yet intriguing enough to keep my attention.

won a few Christian fiction awards and is a top seller in the same category.

sounded like a safe back up ;-)

confident I won't need a back up in my nonfiction area!

thanks for all the great suggestions.

guess I am more of a reader than I thought I was.

don't consider myself one but have read almost every book suggested ;-)

fun to learn about myself!!!

I always wanted to 'be a reader'

can I call myself that now?
